In countries throughout the world, there are increasing pressures to reduce the government share of costs for goods and services with high payoffs to individuals so that the limited available public funds can be used for other needs. This paper suggests several strategies for reducing government expenditures on higher education, including direct cost recovery, grants from and contracts with external agencies, income-producing enterprises, private contributions, and expansion of the private sector. Policy implications and examples (e.g., student access and financial aid, tax status of revenues from enterprises, deferred cost recovery) are presented for both developing and developed countries.

International audience ; This paper aims to investigate the cointegration and causal effect of economic growth and education in the case of Morocco, over the period 1990 to 2019. Education in all of it's forms, considered a fundamental factor of development. Therefore, a country needs to invest more in education. Without a significant investment in education (or human capital), no country can achieve sustainable economic development. Several studies have used various proxies for education, which is the enrollment rate at primary, secondary and tertiary levels (Chatterji, 1998). However, in our study, the quantity dimension of education is proxies by primary, secondary, and tertiary enrolment ratios and an education index. To investigate the relationship between education and economic growth the Auto-regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach developed by Pesaran et al., (2001) and the Augmented Granger Causality approach given by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) are applied. To do that, we have used time-series data on economic growth, labor force, physical capital and four separate education indexes from 1990 to 2019. The data are collected from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and Human Development Reports (HDR). Furthermore, we used a global measure of education, called the education index, by adopting the UNDP methodology. The education index is a proxy for education development. The several indicators were used to demonstrate the robustness of the empirical results. Our results of the ARDL-bound test show that there exist cointegration between economic growth and education. The results also show that there is bidirectional causality between education and economic growth. All levels of education Granger cause economic growth, while economic growth causes all indicators of education except gross enrollment ratio, primary in all cases of causality analysis. These findings suggest that the government should invest in gross primary enrollment to accelerate economic growth, which leads to further education and thus ...
'Einige europäische Länder haben den islamischen Religionsunterricht in ihr Schulsystem eingeführt, nicht nur um für eine fachliche Vermittlung religiöser Inhalte zu sorgen, sondern vor allem um den Religionsunterricht überschaubar zu machen und ihn vor Instrumentalisierung zu schützen. Erfahrungen mit dem islamischen Religionsunterricht in Österreich und Deutschland zeigen, dass die Anforderungen an diesen Unterricht durch eine gezielte Kooperation des Staates mit den islamischen Religionsgemeinschaften erfüllt werden können. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich aber die Frage: Wie viel Autonomie und wie viel Staat braucht der islamische Religionsunterricht, damit durch ihn ein Beitrag zur Integration gerade der jungen MuslimInnen in die säkularen europäischen Gesellschaften gewährleistet werden kann? Widerspricht eine staatliche Mitbestimmung beim Religionsunterricht dem Neutralitätsgebot des modernen Staates? In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, anhand eines Vergleichs der Situation des Religionsunterrichts in Österreich und in Deutschland auf diese Fragen Antwort zu geben, um daraus Schlüsse für andere europäische Staaten ziehen zu können.'
