Quality has become a very important issue in university education in Nigeria. Authorization is a systematic review of education systems to ensure that appropriate levels of education, bursaries and physical resources are maintained. Accreditation ensures that the institution maintains quality. The process is designed to determine whether the institution has met or exceeded published standards of accreditation and whether it is fulfilling its stated purpose and purpose. Quality assurance in ensuring the accreditation process falls into the hands of university administrators in general which has created a need for this research. This study examined institutional accreditation and quality assurance its management perspective. It was found among others that the quality of the guaranteed program depends on the level of funding for Nigerian universities. It was also shown that the quality of program accreditation and the resources of Nigerian universities are highly correlated. However, it was also revealed that the accreditation of the program was closely related to staff at Nigerian universities. The study was based on theory but took up large areas of practice during exercise. Obi, Yves-Mary V | Muo, M.

Title: The Impact of Internationalization on Japanese Higher Education: Is Japanese Education Really Changing?
(Rotterdam, Sense Publishers 2016)
Experiencing tough history and indigence after war, investing in and training human resources became a
priority task for the government. Education has thus been key in the reconstruction and growth of the
country. While Korea quickly attained high level of enrollment and performance, this success didn’t come
without drawbacks. The intense competition in education gradually led to seriously jeopardize student’s well-being. In this context, this presentation will assess and diagnose the strength and weakness of the Korean education system and provide recommendations focusing on the following question: How can Korea combine outstanding academic performance with students’ well-being?

Education Policy Outlook - Making Reforms HappenEduSkills OECD
Education Policy Outlook in Brief Looks at education reforms across 34 OECD countries that can touch the lives of more than 150 million students. There are common trends from the more than 450 reforms adopted across countries. With the crisis they are becoming more strategic. Education policy is not only about design. implementation and follow up are vital for success of reforms. The Outlook aims to support policy makers and others to make reform happen that translates into better education in our schools and classrooms
Japan's educational system is clever that indeed made them placed fourth in the international science and math study in 2007,and many other achievements wherein they are competing globally.
Amidst these achievements in the said major subjects, Japan also gives emphasis and importance to what they really own; their language as part of their curriculum.
Above all of these, agencies both in public and private sectors made a big part in which they provided the needs and necessities in education.
By this, its quite obvious that Japan will continue reigning in the international education studies and also continue aiming the reality of their vision; to produce a globally-competitive individuals.

Education For Sustainable Development London4 All of Us
This conference brought together educationalists, NGOs, Estate Directors and employers to promote and share good subject based and interdisciplinary practice across a wide range of areas, from both the natural sciences and the social sciences. It also showcased ideas and projects from leading NGOs and businesses which are working towards sustainability goals.
This lecture is part of the HUMANE Winter School hosted by the Barcelona School of Management in March 2024.
HUMANE (https://www.humane.eu) is Europe’s international network of higher education professionals. It aims to build global networks of professionals, foster innovation in higher education services and drive professional excellence in higher education management.
This lecture addresses the following questions:
1. What are the drivers of the internationalisation of higher education?
2. What are the benefits of internationalisation?
3. How has internationalisation led to the commercialisation of higher education in Anglophone countries?
4. How are the factors shaping the internationalisation of higher education changing?
It uses the University of Limerick's new "Action through Partnership: Global Engagement Strategy 2023-28" to illustrate the challenges and trade-offs when trying to balance internationalisation with a commitment to sustainable development and global social justice.
In an environment of increasing complexity and decreasing budgets, building sustainable and successful models of global engagement is becoming more challenging and competitive. At the same time, senior international officers are expected to be even more responsive in making tough
strategic choices that define best fit models, markets and partners. This interactive and comparative session aims to discuss a range of global engagement strategies with a focus on what works and what doesn’t.

Global collaborations in higher education for achieving Sustainable Developme...University of Limerick
Higher Education Institutions are supposed to be the engines of socio-economic change and development and also nurseries for new ideas, innovations and practices for the welfare of the society. Global collaborations in this context can provide further fillip to the efforts, capabilities and achievements of universities in all countries, so that achieving sustainable development goals becomes a reality in all countries. Global collaborations, therefore, may focus on helping the universities work for meeting their local challenges and achieving their national goals of inclusiveness and sustainability.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Editor's Notes
Japan has been working in cooperation with foreign countries to elaborate and implement joint educational programs with quality assurance for producing intellectual human resources and creating new knowledge and technologies responding to today’s knowledge-based society.
We have been making efforts in building a shared framework for quality-assured universities exchange in East Asia.
In this context, in September 2011, Japan convened the “International Symposium on Exchange among Universities with Quality Assurance in the East Asian Region” with participation of more than 380 participants from governments, quality assurance agencies and universities including representatives from Australia.
In November 2011, Japan hosted the International Conference of States to Examine and Adopt Amendments to the 1983 UNESCO Convention in Tokyo.
The conference ended successfully with participation of 26 countries from Asia and the Pacific including Australia.
The text of revised convention was adopted unanimously by 26 participated countries at the Tokyo conference.
In the revised convention provides the following provisions concerning:
1) basic principle related to the assessment of qualifications,
2) recognition of qualifications giving access to higher education, partial studies and higher education qualifications: and
3) information on assessment/accreditation and recognition matters
