ASEAN QAct – Extention of Phase 1 What happens after the assessment? How to sustain the action and increase

the impact at institutional level? HEI are often struggling with budget shortcuts, lacking capacities and institutional

support to follow up on the site visits, to draw action plans and to invest resources for the “Act”-Phase of the PDCA-Cycle

Support for selected HEI who participated in ASEAN-QA to put recommendations of the assessor team into practice

6 consultancy visit by mixed ASEAN-European expert teams will be carried out between June and August 2014

Promote and strengthen QA structures in ASEAN HE

Fostering (bi-)regional dialogue: exchange of experiences and good practice within the ASEAN region and beyond (EHEA; Bologna Process)

Developing capacity in the field of IQA by implementing a multi-part training course for QA Officers from selected HEIs (TrainIQA) – Call for Application will be launched today!

Widening the scope of the training from assessment of study programmes to quality management at institutional level

Main target group are QA practitioners at HEI but university leadership is involved as well

A set of (five) modules and learning materials has been developed (blended learning approach)

ASEAN-QA II: Course structure

63

Synergies with similar initiatives

Regional QA Framework: AQAN and the AQAFHE Task Force are developing regional standards in the field of EQA and IQA which need to be ref lected also in regional capacity development activities such as ASEAN-QA

AUN-QA: AUN carries out programme assessment at regional level, complemented by capacity development funded by ADB (CLM); due to intensive cooperation with AUN overlapping to ASEAN-QA will be avoided

ASEM, ASEAN+3: within (bi-)regional processes QA seminars are carried out (1) outcomes and results need to be taken into account; (2) achievements under ASEAN-QA should feed into regional policy dialogue

EU SHARE: a large Project aiming at strengthening harmonisation of the ASEAN HE area will be launched soon; next to policy dialogue it includes issues such as regional QA and respective capacity development & dissemination activities; ASEAN-QA Part II (focusing on IQA) can well complement upcoming EU SHARE activities (focusing on EQA)

The Bologna Process and the UK experience

Leo Boe Policy Officer, SE Asia UK Higher Education International Unit Universities UK

About the UK Higher Education International Unit

• International Unit represents the UK HE sector’s international activities

Strategic Priorities:

– Build capacity of UK HE sector to capture international opportunities – Shape international UK and European policy (including the Bologna

Process) – Represent UK HE Internationally – Provide intelligence to help identify and take-up opportunities

136

UK higher education International Unit: priorities and objectives

137

Bologna Process: Origins and Incentives

• Sorbonne declaration (UK, FR, DE, IT) • Bologna declaration – establishment

of a European Higher Education Area by 2010 (29 MS)

• Establishment of the European Higher Education Area in 2010 (Budapest-Vienna)

• Open market in skilled labour • Enhanced European competitiveness

and external recognition • International attractiveness • A means of implementing national

reforms

BP Implementation: 10 Main action lines

1999 Bologna Declaration • Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees • Adoption of a system essentially based on two cycles including qualifications

frameworks • Establishment of a system of credits • Promotion of mobility • Promotion of European cooperation in quality assurance • Promotion of the European dimension in higher education Prague Ministerial Summit 2001 • Lifelong learning • Higher education institutions and students • Promoting the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area Berlin Ministerial Summit 2003 • Doctoral studies and the synergy between the European Higher Education Area

(EHEA) and the European Research Area (ERA)

138

Bologna Implementation

• Voluntary, inter-governmental process – no legal obligations

• 47 Member States + European Commission and Council of Europe

• Bologna Follow-Up Group, small revolving Secretariat, Ministerial Summits every 2 years

• Stakeholder Involvement (EUA, EURASHE, ESU, ENQA, Business Europe, Education International, UNESCO-CEPES)

139

Bologna Implementation (2)

• National and institutional-level reform • Scope of the EHEA (from 29 MS to 47 MS)

• Diversity of higher education

systems/institutions across and within the EHEA

UK Higher Education

• Scale: 2.5 million students, £28billion income, 181,000 staff

• Characteristics: – Institutional autonomy – Diversity – Mixed funding – Research, innovation, business interaction – High quality and highly productive – Competition

146

A highly efficient system

Institutions: diversity

147

Institutions: diversity

Excellence in teaching

• Increasing expectations from students and their families. Greater pressure to demonstrate value for money (student experience and employment prospects) and effectiveness

• Institutions building, investing, improving and adapting – institutions looking closely at provision and how it is delivered – maintaining quality (not just about contact time) – stronger emphasis on transparency and student information

• National student satisfaction survey, highest recorded levels of

student satisfaction since survey began in 2005

148

Excellence of UK research

• Universities are main research performers and are autonomous in their research decisions

• Second in the world for research quality

• The UK represents just 0.9% of global population, 3.2% of R&D activity, and 4.1% of the world’s researchers, but accounts for 11.6% of all citations and 15.9% of the world’s mostly highly cited academic articles.

Benefits of Internationalisation

- Financial benefits – funding; efficiency; fees - Cultural benefits – value of student and staff exchange - Soft power – promoting the UK as a destination - Academic value – global solutions for global problems

Internationalisation at the heart of excellence • Internationally co-authored work more likely to achieve a

higher citation impact; internationally mobile researchers more productive; internationally mobile students more employable

149

UK Perspective: An easy transition but some issues Opportunities • Other member states aligning with UK HE structures • Facilitating student and researcher mobility and cooperation • Added value for UK qualifications through increased

recognition • Enhanced international attractiveness Challenges • 1 Year UK Masters • Diploma Supplement/Higher Education Achievement Report • ECTS implementation • Low-levels of outward student mobility (IU Outward Student

Mobility Programme)

UK Perspective

• Bachelor – Master – Doctoral cycles (UK already uses this structure) • Overarching Framework for Qualifications of the EHEA (UK HE qualifications frameworks self-certified) • European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in

the EHEA (Quality Assurance Agency – QAA) • European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) (Experience of using credit – NUCCATS, SCQF) • Diploma Supplement (New challenge – development of HEAR) • International attractiveness

Highly internationalised sector

150

New horizons for Bologna

• Wider context: changes to HE funding; economic crisis in Europe; youth unemployment

• EHEA Mobility Strategy - 20% of EHEA graduates to have completed a study or work placement abroad by 2020

• Lifelong learning and the social dimension • Bologna: the global dimension – Bologna Policy

Forum (from 2008) & dialogues with emerging higher education areas

Key features of the Bologna Process

• Voluntary over a regulatory approach • Accommodating diversity • Measuring success • Governance • Stakeholder-involvement – communicate and

engage • Ensuring complementarity with other

structures

Higher education: a driving force for regional social-economic development

Caroline Chipperfield

Deputy Director, Education (East Asia)

“We have a great many modern buildings on our campus, but many of our researchers are housed within specially-adapted Victorian mills. They are handsome structures and they are still factories – factories of ideas. They are certainly not ivory towers, because the scientists and engineers behind those stone walls are continually engaged with the real world of modern industry.” Sir Patrick Stewart Chancellor, University of Huddersfield, UK

Two questions … How do universities contribute to a successful society and economy? And What will the future look like for universities?

157

Firstly …

How do universities contribute to a successful society and

economy?

Universities can play a critical role in driving social and economic growth … 1. Through regional leadership and ‘anchor’ capacity

2. As change agents: starting, growing and supporting enterprise

3. Creating and diffusing research-led innovation

4. Growing and maintaining a knowledge workforce

5. Attracting inward investment

158

Universities as ‘anchor’ institutions

Universities are fundamentally shaping the character of the places they are located …

• Landscape – infrastructure • Major employer • Contribution to national economic strategy • A level of autonomy

Growing and supporting enterprise

• Often closely linked to the area’s industrial legacy

• Can aid adaption, change, renewal and regeneration

• Use research and innovation to start/incubate new business ideas

159

Creating and diffusing research-led innovation

• Universities drive new growth areas within the economy

• Universities generate, translate and diffuse research-led innovation

• Universities support adoption and exploitation of innovation and ideas

Growing a knowledge workforce

• Highly skilled graduates

• Higher levels of productivity

• New market opportunities

160

Attracting inward investment

• Overseas students • Overseas research and

innovation collaboration • Talented and experienced

workforce • Industrial investment

opportunities

Secondly …

What will the future look like for universities?

Scenario Planning

What is it and how to use it

Scenario Planning The scenario planning process is a conversation about the future by:

1. Engaging a range of experts on what is going to drive

change in higher education in ASEAN post-2015 2. Creating Scenarios collaboratively of possible futures 3. Facilitating a wider debate on the opportunities and

challenges created by ASEAN for universities

165

Scenario Planning • A Shell or Mont-Fleur scenario conversation has

several characteristics that makes it powerful. • The scenario process is:

logical open and informal inclusive and holistic elicits choices constructive

What are scenarios and why? • What are they?

Credible but challenging portraits of the future Hypothetical possibilities, not predictions Qualitative not quantitative models

• Why use them? Tool to inform strategy – investigating whether

policies are robust Challenge orthodox assumptions about the future
