Governance in Higher Education, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book reflects the recent substantial developments in the education sector that have been driven by the rapid growth of technology and inventive pedagogical approaches. In the MENA region,  educational institutions are striving to keep pace with global advancements while addressing unique regional challenges.

Delving into two pivotal dimensions that have surfaced as vital for thriving in today's educational sphere, with a strong emphasis on the MENA region's distinct characteristics and opportunities, the book first explores the evolution and challenges in governance, encompassing the organizational frameworks, decision-making mechanisms, and policies that empower educational institutions in the MENA region to adapt to the shifting environment. The second dimension zeroes in on the metamorphosis of education itself, emphasizing the innovative tools, assignments, and methodologies that are accessible to educators in the region, and discussing the balance between these elements and effective university governance.

By offering an exhaustive and up-to-date examination of these two dimensions, this book imparts invaluable insights and pragmatic guidance to educational professionals, policymakers, and students alike, all with a focus on the MENA region.
