“A class entirely in English was initially quite a load,” the engineering student said. “I attended this class because I want to have a future job assisting developing countries.”
Kyoto University plans to add about 100 foreign faculty members by the 2017 academic year to teach half of the elective liberal arts courses in English. More...

By Sean Coughlan. University budgets could be put under "severe strain" by plans to remove limits on student numbers in England, warns a policy analysis. The Higher Education Policy Institute says the increase, announced last year, was "sprung on universities". More...
By N K Khoo. I refer to a public statement from the Higher Education Department director-general Prof. Datuk Dr.Asma Ismail who said public universities would have no space for students if everyone were to be enrolled.
If this is so, why does a public university in Johor enjoy the luxury of allocating 40% of its intake to foreign students in the guise of achieving the status of world class university? More...

Les jeunes français sont de plus en plus diplômés, déclare l'enquête Génération 2010/2013 effectuée par le Centre d'études et de recherches sur les qualifications (Céreq). Néanmoins, ils ont de plus en plus de mal à trouver un emploi.
