Le contrat de génération devrait modifier les pratiques de tutorat en entreprise

http://s1.lemde.fr/journalelectronique/vignettes/la_une/20130306/QUO_208_coupee.jpgPar Anne Rodier. La mise en place des contrats de génération devrait conduire les entreprises à repenser le mode de transmission des savoirs et des compétences. Le projet de loi adoptée par le Parlement, le 14 février, impose aux entreprises d'au moins 300 salariés, ou qui appartiennent à un groupe employant au moins 300 personnes, de déposer, avant le 30 septembre, un accord collectif ou un plan d'action qui les engage en termes de formation, d'emploi et de transmission des savoirs des seniors et des juniors, suggérant ainsi un transfert des compétences entre ces deux catégories.
"La loi lie les générations entre elles, ce qui est un progrès en soi, car elle apporte un changement de regard et place les grandes entreprises dans une perspective de transmission des compétences,
analyse Rodolphe Delacroix, consultant du cabinet de recrutement Towers Watson et auteur de Si senior! Travailler plus longtemps en entreprise c'est possible (Lignes de repères, 2012). Mais les seniors ne sont pas des tuteurs nés", s'empresse-t-il d'ajouter. Et surtout, ils ne tiennent pas ce rôle aujourd'hui. Suite de l'article...

Britain slips down world rankings for universities

http://bathknightblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/telegraph-logo.jpgBy . British universities risk being relegated into the “global lower leagues” following a decline in the standing of some of the country’s leading research institutions, according to education experts.
New international rankings show that UK universities have lost ground on those in the United States and emerging Asian economies.
The table, based on the academic reputation of universities across the world, places Oxford and Cambridge in the top 10.
Five other universities, Imperial College London, University College London, the London School of Economics, Edinburgh and Manchester, are in the top 50.
But the table, published by Times Higher Education magazine, shows that other big names have lost ground, with greater polarisation between a small band of elite British institutions and the rest.
Three UK universities have dropped out of the top 100 since 2011, it emerged. Read more...

UK universities slide down greasy pole of perception

The Guardian homeBy Jessica Shepherd. Fewer British institutions make it into Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings this year.
Fewer British universities have this year made it into the world's top 100 colleges, as ranked by reputation.

Just nine UK institutions are in the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings, compared with 10 last year and 12 the year before. Harvard has come top, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology taking second place. The University of California, Berkeley and Stanford are in the fifth and sixth spots. UK universities have the highest number of institutions in the rankings after the US, which takes up 43 of the 100 places. Read more...

A degree for £27,000? Pourquoi pas

http://bathknightblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/telegraph-logo.jpgBy Georgina Gold. British students are often told to study on the Continent, where tuition is cheaper or even free. So why are 13,000 French students coming to the UK, asks Georgina Gold.
British students are often told to consider studying abroad these days – not only to soak up a foreign culture, but to benefit from lower fees. So it may comes as a surprise that more than 13,000 French students are coming the other way, currently studying at UK universities in preference to French state universities despite having to pay tuition fees of between £3,000 and £9,000 per year in the UK.
That's instead of just €181 per year in France.
So why do French students find it is worth the extra cost? What do they see in our much-castigated university system that we seem to overlook? Read more...

Career-focused master's courses attract more students

The Guardian homeBy Liz Lightfoot. Universities use business brains to tailor their postgraduate courses. Once the Cinderella of higher education, tucked between the undergraduate degree and the doctoral theses, the master's degree has come into its own.
Over the past decade, the number of people graduating from taught master's courses has risen by 145%, from 69,345 in 2002/03 to 169,564 in 2011/12. Around half are overseas students, sought-after by universities for the higher fees they pay and their contribution to the international mix of the campus. Read more...

University rankings: Do we really need annual university rankings?

http://bathknightblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/telegraph-logo.jpgBy Alex Usher. Small annual movements up or down global university rankings are largely meaningless, says Alex Usher. Pay them no mind.
The Times Higher Education’s annual Reputation rankings were released last night, and by the time this is published will no doubt be the subject of much discussion on the internet. Much as I enjoy most of what the THE does, the hype around these rankings is pretty tedious. Though they are not an unalloyed good, rankings have their benefits. They allow people to compare the inputs, outputs, and (if you’re lucky) processes and outcomes at various institutions. Read more...

University competition, collaboration and the clash of the private providers

The Guardian homeWhat did we learn at this year's Guardian Future of Higher Education summit? That all universities are created private, but some are created more private than others.
We are so used to umpiring the tug of war between the respective defenders of public and private provision here on the Higher Education Network that it came as some surprise when the most heated debate at this year's Guardian's Future of Higher Education summit erupted between the private providers themselves.
The universities minister, David Willetts, had opened his morning speech insisting that "the value of higher education is both public and private", even as he went on to remind the audience of 200 senior higher education figures that "legally, all UK universities are in the private sector". It was a point picked up by Prof Terence Kealey, vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham, the only member institution of Universities UK that receives no government funding. Read more...

Branch Anxieties

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/all/themes/ihecustom/logo.jpgBy Scott Jaschik. During a discussion here Monday on international branch campuses, a panel of experts discussed a variety of challenges facing universities that set up branch campuses in other countries or engage in international partnerships. They discussed the economics of these ventures, shifting types of student demand, the potential of competition from massive open online courses and a variety of regulatory structures. But until asked during the question period, the panelists didn't say a word about the elephant in the room: differing commitments to academic freedom in the host countries for branch campuses and the Western democracies whose universities are setting up the branches.
The United Arab Emirates is home to numerous branch campuses of American and British universities, and many others are in nearby Qatar. So Dubai seemed a logical setting for Going Global, the annual gathering on international education sponsored by the British Council, and about 1,300 leaders of universities from around the world are gathering here for the discussions. While the universities setting up campuses here haven't asserted that the UAE is democratic, they have talked about their ability to operate campuses with academic freedom. Read more...
