La educación superior en la región de América Latina y el Caribe
(ALC) ha registrado un importante crecimiento en las últimas dos décadas. Al mismo tiempo, el crecimiento del sector ha estado aparejado a un significativo grado de diversificación y sofisticación, a tono con tendencias similares presentes en el contexto internacional. Esta transición del sector de la educación superior no ha estado exenta de desafíos importantes y, al mismo tiempo, ha traído consigo efectos
no previstos que es importante analizar, tanto en su contextualización local como a la luz de tendencias relevantes en el plano internacional.
En este capítulo se dimensionan la magnitud y características de la evolución reciente de la educación superior en ALC desde una perspectiva regional y, en la medida de lo posible, en comparación con dinámicas similares en el ámbito global. Para ello, se presentan de manera sucinta algunos rasgos comparados básicos, los cuales constituyen sólo un listado –no exhaustivo– de tendencias significativas que se espera contribuyan a la reflexión sobre las implicaciones que estas tienen en la internacionalización de la educación superior en la región.

The main objective of this paper is to outline what policies matter most for an effective tertiary education (TE) system. It is crucial to ask not simply whether a system is working, but whether it is working to cope with current and expected demand in nations across the world. The paper presents the conceptual background and operational tools of the Systems Approach for Better Education Results-Tertiary Education (SABER-TE) methodology used by the World Bank to support government education policy makers to assess policy areas of relevance to a country’s tertiary education system by benchmarking national policies against international best practices. The paper first provides a historical perspective on the World Bank’s involvement in tertiary education. Next, it discusses the importance that tertiary education has in today’s society and presents a brief review of the most significant issues and trends in tertiary education worldwide. In the second part of the document, the SABER-TE guiding principles are discussed, as well as the policy areas that the framework assesses. The document then describes instruments for data collection; a rubric for scoring, benchmarking, and analyzing the data; and methodological approaches for collecting and disseminating the findings of a SABER-TE assessment.

Following a trend common in other countries, in its recent history Mexico has aspired to develop some of its higher education institutions to the level of research-oriented peer universities of excellence. A unique case of a private institution, the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM) is being analized, considering that its flagship campus has officially embarked on a path to achieve the status of world-class research university but has yet to reach that goal.

A transição para o século XXI é marcada por profundas mudanças nas relações da sociedade. A educação é parte desse processo e, neste sentido, a relação indissociável entre a unificação da Europa e a de sua educação superior denota tal percepção. Este trabalho objetiva trazer elementos para a compreensão do Processo de Bolonha, analisando aspectos de sua implementação; estabelecendo vínculos entre suas características e objetivos e a racionalidade à qual o Processo parece estar afiliado; e indicando possíveis impactos para a educação superior brasileira. A análise indica que, na medida em que a Europa deseja estabelecer parcerias internacionais que ampliem seu leque de opções para a educação superior, pode-se presumir que a pauta tende a apontar para interesses da própria Europa. Isso exige uma postura de discussão e negociação que tenha como base as noções de alteridade e diversidade, com a universidade como locus privilegiado de análise crítica, propositiva e, sobretudo, prospectiva.

Collaboration is vital to scientific innovation, as it facilitates the exchange of ideas and expands the range of perspectives on a given subject.South Asian economies and societies are rapidly evolving, and knowledge production, innovation, and technological adaptation are becoming increasingly vital to the sustained growth and competitiveness of firms and sectors across the region. South Asia’s regional economy may still depend on low-skilled, labor-intensive production, but high-tech, knowledge-intensive industrial and service sectors are also emerging. Meanwhile, developing countries worldwide compete for shares of the global production, technology, and value chains.Scholarly research is at the leading edge of national efforts to sharpen competitive advantages and explore emerging fields and sectors, but exploiting the benefits of new technologies requires an enabling environment for innovation and adaptation to be created, which in turn demands research and development (R&D) ca...

The rapid disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in multiple sectors and areas of daily life provide a unique opportunity to study the university’s capacity to respond to changes in the external environment, to be a learning organization, in service of addressing significant social challenges. In this book we study universities’ responses to one such challenge: the disruption to educational opportunities caused by the interruption of schooling brought about by the pandemic.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, universities innovated on several fronts. Unsurprisingly, some of those innovations focused on internal actions implemented to mitigate the impact of the pandemic by transitioning to online teaching delivery or extension of semester break, etc. (Crawford J et al.

Based on a cross-case analysis of the studies presented in this book, this study concludes that during the COVID-19 pandemic, universities engaged with school systems and school networks to sustain educational opportunity. They did so through entrepreneurial educational innovation in ways which helped integrate their research, teaching, and outreach functions. This finding speaks to the nature of universities as learning organizations, open to their external environment, not just to respond to changes in it, but to shape it.This chapter identifies seven innovations that universities advanced in their collaborations with schools: Research and analysis to support decision-makers in formulating strategies of educational continuity (outreach and research). Advancing knowledge based on research in schools in the context of the pandemic (research). Instructional and technological resources and online platforms for students and teachers, including efforts to support connectivity (outreach ...

Since 1995, the Qatar Foundation (QF) has played a key role in the development of Qatar through education, science, and community development. QF is an “umbrella” array of more than 50 entities covering the entire educational system from PreK-12 schools to doctoral higher education, in addition to a variety of related organizations supporting innovation, health, culture, and community development. This case study examines how the QF Multiverse-city (MultiverCity) model has created synergies between Higher Education and Pre-University Education, which have contributed to support educational continuity during the pandemic across the Foundation and beyond. All the programs shifted to the online delivery mode and new professional development programs and online resources were designed and delivered to teachers to support them in this sudden transition. Also, QF organized a series of virtual global conferences addressing the impact of COVID-19 on education, the responses of schools and s...

We assess and compare computer science skills among final-year computer science undergraduates (seniors) in four major economic and political powers that produce approximately half of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates in the world. We find that seniors in the United States substantially outperform seniors in China, India, and Russia by 0.76–0.88 SDs and score comparably with seniors in elite institutions in these countries. Seniors in elite institutions in the United States further outperform seniors in elite institutions in China, India, and Russia by ∼0.85 SDs. The skills advantage of the United States is not because it has a large proportion of high-scoring international students. Finally, males score consistently but only moderately higher (0.16–0.41 SDs) than females within all four countries.

Instituições de ensino superior (IES) podem e fazem uma contribuiçãosignifi cativa para o desenvolvimento econômico regional, social e cultural. Numa economia globalizada, a relevância de várias atividades conduzidas naquelasinstituições é crescente em importância e está sujeita a um aumento de uma avaliaçãominuciosa e cuidadosa. Entretanto, falhas de comunicação entre os agentesregionais e as IES reduzem a efetividade dos seus esforços no ensino, na pesquisa eno serviço público e limitam a compreensão do nível local de seus impactos. Estasfalhas de comunicação estão frequentemente associadas aos sinais políticos fracosou confusos, e agendas confl itantes. Com o propósito de responder este dilema, a OCDE implementou um projeto de pesquisa que envolveu 14 regiões através de12 países. Este artigo objetiva retirar algumas importantes lições da pesquisa daOCDE entitulada “Apoiando a Contribuição das Instituições de Ensino Superiorpara o Desenvolvimento Regional”.

We live in an increasingly turbulent, complicated, complex and contradictory, but also fascinating and interesting world, in which many of our preconceived notions are being contested or are no longer valid. And this is the world in which we need to question if what we are and have been doing with intercultural learning, with internationalization, and, in general, with education, is really responding to emerging challenges
and opportunities. It is time to rethink the role of education and intercultural learning and the international dimension in a world which is still having persistent social inequality and ideological polarization. The uncertainties of today’s world should serve as a wake-up call to seriously reflect about the impact of international and intercultural education.
