This book contains a scholarly analysis of the status of legal education in fourteen Asian countries namely Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. What these countries have in common is the increasing acceptance of the rule of law as the organizing principle of governance and pluralism as a fact of life. Law is an integrating element reflecting cultural pluralism amidst social and economic inequalities and political power struggles. The challenge before legal educators in the region is to re-structure legal education in such a way that while retaining the confidence of the people in the judicial apparatus, those who operate the system are trained to make justice accessible and affordable to every person irrespective of their status and income. The present volume provides valuable insights into how the mission is being pursued by legal educators in different countries of the region many of which have legal traditions dating back to ancient times

Critical of various US studies and an Australian study conducted in New South Wales which assert that class size reductions have a positive effect on student achievement; argues that effective teaching is a far more important contributory factor and that local schools should have the authority to set their educational priorities. Based on two Issue Analysis papers, no. 29 and no. 29a, available on the Internet.
Higher education institutions are confronted with a complexity of tasks and contexts or framework conditions which they must manage and classify. The internationalisation of higher education institutions (HEI) provides the opportunity to work with new partners in teaching, research and transfer. At the same time, competition for German HEIs in the global science market is increasing. As internationalisation continues to increase, discourses on academic freedom and migration processes are also coming to the fore. Furthermore, the current digital transformation of society as a whole is also affecting scientific organisations in all areas of performance. Against the background of these profound global upheavals, the study explores the question of how future international higher education cooperation should be developed and what contribution transnational education (TNE) in particular can make to this.

Conflicting forces within society provide the framework of market and political decision. This article examines the three most pervasive mechanisms causing communicative turbulence and thus affecting decision. These three forces, media, education, and planning, are dealt with as separate entities in view of their related but somewhat disparate character. Taken together they do, however, hold out the greatest hope in meeting the critical problems of the day. And, taken separately, they can each create turbulence of such intensity as to threaten nearly all constructive efforts toward meeting the challenges of urban change and reformation. Today, the media are forsaking their objectivity and their public service responsibility for an interpretative role which deprives society of a sound information source. Television in its present aspects is an active deterrent to successful public education. Public education is foundering from a complex of confused programs and interpolations from the various special interest groups and the interpositioning of the courts between the citizens and their elected local school boards. Solutions suggested are both new and old. Higher education is suffering from the effects of the student population explosion, further complicated by special interest pressures and by unwise quasi-dictation from certain federal agencies. The planning process, as prerequisite to improved management in all areas of social activity, is beginning to show advances in effectiveness owing to accumulated experience, increased and assimilated data, and growing public acceptance, particularly in the field of urban planning.

The higher education sector has evolved over the past decade due to the ever-changing needs of students who are its primary customers. As a result, most students have to deal with unmet expectations which subsequently lead to service failure. Even though service failure cannot be eliminated, higher education institutions are expected to provide an effective complaints management system to resolve student problems and service failure incidents. This study analyzed service failure and complaints management in higher education institutions. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was undertaken using 430 full-time students across three public universities in South Africa. The findings of this study showed that students encounter various forms of service failures in institutions of higher learning with the majority experiencing service failures in respect of funding and academic registration. Also, most of the students were generally satisfied with the complaints management system. Thus, this study can help institutional managers to understand service failure incidents confronting the sector. Furthermore, the study provides an opportunity for institutional managers to assess the effectiveness of the complaints management system and make improvements to ensure a better student experience

The phenomenon of the internationalization of education has been prevalent in developed western countries, with varied and at times contested discourses about international education and students. We wonder how these discourses are constructed and contested in the media and further shape public opinions. Using the critical theories of language, power, and media, we analyzed 44 articles relevant to international education/students and their commentaries in the widely circulated Canadian newspapers. Our findings illustrate three dominant themes as the rhetoric of international education/students in Canada and how they are discursively constructed: (1) international education as a commodity; (2) international students as recipients of the generosity of Canada; and (3) international students as burden/harms to Canadian education/students as well as having moral deficits and being lawfully wrongdoers. This analysis highlights how international students are otherized, essentialized, and silenced as the voiceless despite their strong presence as the fastest growing migrant group in Canada with diverse identities and needs. We close with a discussion of the media analysis on international students as one such example of how dominance such as neoliberalism is taking up e-space like other public domains in social environments, which social workers deeply care about.
