L’école et l’entreprise: la fin d’une méprise?
Pourquoi? Parce que l’entreprise véhicule d’abord un esprit, celui d’un projet. L’aventure entrepreneuriale ne se conçoit qu’autour d’un projet partagé et construit seul ou en groupe, entre associés, partenaires ou futurs salariés. C’est la gestion de ce projet qui est le moteur de la démarche et qu’il faut mettre au cœur de la pédagogie de l’entreprise à l’école. Suite de l'article...
9èmes Journées des Observatoires
4 des 9 ateliers portent sur le suivi des étudiants et des diplômés de licence, de master et de doctorat, suivi de cohortes et enquêtes de devenir professionnel. Deux ateliers sur le suivi des licences (définition et méthodologie), un sur les masters (poursuites d’études après un master), un sur l’insertion des docteurs. Les Observatoires sont montés en puissance pour collecter les données, les traiter, les analyser, les publier.
Suite à la publication de Parcours et réussite en licence et en master à l’université (note d’information, 13.02, avril 2013), j’ai eu la curiosité de faire un tour d’horizon des pratiques de communication sur le décrochage en 1ère année de licence. Des Observatoires pratiquent une communication transparente à destination des étudiants, en publiant les résultats licence par licence: Strasbourg, Paris 7 Denis Diderot, Bretagne occidentale, Toulouse 1 Capitole, Versailles Saint-Quentin.

US targets to send 15000 American students to India every year
“That is still far from our goal of 15,000 in five years,” Tara Sonenshine, the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, told the visiting Human Resources and Development Minister, Pallam Raju, in a roundtable interaction earlier this week.
Currently, while more than 100,000 Indian students visit US to study every year, the number of American students who studied in India in 2011-2012 was a mere 4,300 and far less than those going to China for studies. Read more...

Au Québec, l’Université recrute selon les règles du privé
Blog Educpros de Michel Abhervé. L’UQAM à Montréal recrute des professeurs et le simple lecture de l’annonce met en évidence combien nos pays sont différents. Dans le poste concernant la gestion des entreprises collectives (organisations à but non lucratif, coopératives, organisations non gouvernementales, etc.), nous notons deux particularités (pour nous).
D’abord quant au statut: alors que pour nous l’Université des fonctionnaires et des contractuels de droit public, au Québec il est mentionné que le traitement sera établi « selon la convention collective UQAM-SPUQ ». Suite de l'article...

Increased education opportunities between Tunisia and EU
By Marc Mcilhone. The European Union (EU) has agreed on additional funding to further develop the modernisation of higher education as well as the international cooperation capacity of higher education institutions in Tunisia under the Erasmus Mundus and Tempus programmes. This will be achieved by providing more scholarships to Tunisian students, researchers and academic staff to study and to perform research in the EU as well as through the setting up of cooperation projects between European and Tunisian universities. Štefan Füle, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, said on this occasion: “With today’s decision, the EU is highlighting the importance of people-to-people exchanges and intercultural dialogues. In addition to the efforts already made to provide EU support for economic recovery and growth, to create new jobs and to reduce regional discrepancies in Tunisia, the EU is now also enhancing its support for quality education for Tunisian young people. The knowledge and skills they will acquire through this programme will help them to be active members of their transforming society.” Read more...Education Woes Seen as Achilles' Heel of Brazil
By JENNY BARCHFIELD. There's a storage room just off a university lab that gives students more experience than many can handle: Skinned pigs and cats, disembodied cow livers, intestines, brains and the other unidentifiable detritus of years' worth of dissections fill a dozen wading pool-sized vats to the brim.
With the veterinary department's incinerator long on the fritz, the stomach-turning, formaldehyde-drenched mass of animal carcasses and organs grows by the day.
Similar scenes of neglect and decay play out across the sprawling, once-stately campus. Laboratories routinely flood when it rains, lecture halls reach oven-like temperatures because the burned-out air conditioning units were never replaced, the Internet works only intermittently and students hardly dare venture out after dark for fear of being mugged.

Australian budget hits higher education hard
The funding squeeze includes 2% efficiency savings, roughly A$30 million per university. ‘This is money universities had already factored in, so it’s inevitable that research will be impacted,’ says Jackson. The money saved will contribute to major school reforms, which are ‘incredibly important, but it’s a continuum … there’s no point in coming out of improved schools to an impoverished university sector’.
