"Higher education has a central role in helping our world address its interlaced social, cultural, economic and environmental challenges. Our universities and colleges can do this by identifying and testing solutions in collaboration with the regions they serve, and by building the leaders of tomorrow. But to do this higher education institutions (HEIs) must transform themselves, and this involves bringing together best practice in quality management and improvement for tertiary education with best practice in education for sustainable development. This book seeks to provide those interested in addressing this double helix of transformation with tested strategies and pathways for undertaking the journey successfully. It pays particular attention to dynamic interplays between organizational, national and international development in higher education policies and practices relevant for quality assurance. It also explores changing understandings of the notion of quality in higher education, relations of quality systems and other HEI strategies and questions of learner competences in the context of HEI strategies."--

This insightful edited collection brings new insights and a novel approach to entrepreneurship education by situating findings within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, exploring pedagogies associated with both academic and professional entrepreneurship to further the field. Drawing on experiences and best practices within the CEE countries (such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia), the book takes a comparative slant and addresses the call for a pragmatic and critical approach to entrepreneurship pedagogy, offering a systematic review of effective methods and tools introduced at various levels of entrepreneurship education and across disciplines. Highly cross-disciplinary and spanning all levels of formal education, the contributions address long-associated challenges to entrepreneurship education such as the advancement of an entrepreneurship pedagogy that teaches both for, and through, entrepreneurship, as well as difficulties surrounding the teaching of an entrepreneurial mindset, competence, and the collation of knowledge in the field more widely. This volume will be of pivotal interest to researchers, scholars, and post-graduate students in the fields of entrepreneurship education, international and comparative education, and pedagogy more broadly. Those specifically looking at the development of education in the CEE countries will also find the book valuable.
