Conference on “Governing Bodies of Higher Education Institutions: Roles and Responsibilities", 24 and 25 August 2006 at the OECD Headquarters in Paris
02-Aug-2006
This seminar organised by IMHE focuses on Governing boards and institutional leaders. The roles of higher education institutions are changing and in many countries their relation to central government is also evolving. Institutions are becoming more responsible for the development of their own strategies and for the management of their operations. Accountability, evaluation and corporate responsibility are now part of a process, which – to some extent at least – draws on models found in the private sector. For more information or to register

Higher education plays a vital role in driving economic growth and social cohesion. It has grown dramatically – with more than 17,000 higher education institutions in the world. At our meeting, we agreed on a new task: to go beyond growth, by making higher education not just bigger but also better. We discussed how to meet this challenge. Every country is different, and there were many points of view. But we agreed that a major programme of reform is needed, giving more emphasis to outcomes in particular.

A basic problem with delivering a better higher education system is funding. Since the Second World War higher education, just as secondary and primary schools, has been considered as a public good, and so in most OECD countries the service had to be delivered free of charge to students through taxation. However, tighter public budgets and stiffer global competition for talent have led to a renewed interest in student fees as a possible way of raising more funding. The issue poses several tricky challenges, about access, equity, student finance, debt, and so on.

This study aims to assist countries in developing and implementing effective policies for equity in education. It examines the contribution of different phases of education to lifetime equity and inequity and looks, in particular, at socio-economic, ethnic, regional and gender issues. It is primarily concerned with equality of opportunity while recognising that relative equality of outcomes is often used as an indicator of equality of opportunity.
