Higher education opportunities for refugees are in crisis. The UNHCR regional representative discusses programs to support refugee access to higher education, including the DAFI scholarship program which has supported over 14,000 refugees. The Connected Learning in Crisis Consortium founded by UNHCR and the University of Geneva has provided education to 6,500 students. Higher education for refugees builds leadership skills and allows refugees to contribute to their host communities and home countries upon return. The representative recommends that universities allow refugee access under the same conditions as nationals, offer flexible admissions, additional support programs, counseling, and induction sessions.
The Purdy Crawford Chair in Aboriginal Business Studiesbanffcentre
The Purdy Crawford Chair in Aboriginal Business Studies promotes Aboriginal interest in business education and conducts research to support Aboriginal communities and business success. The Chair focuses on three areas: examining models of Aboriginal business success, recruiting Aboriginal students to study business, and enhancing business curriculum. Regional roundtables found interest in business but barriers around proximity, funding, and preparation. The Chair's research shows Aboriginal populations are growing fast with potential but lower education rates. Business education can promote self-reliance and independence. The Chair's mentorship program attracted many applicants and saw early success in university attendance.
This document discusses international distance education and its role in education for development. It provides several examples of partnerships between the Open University UK and institutions in China, the Arab world, and Bangladesh. These examples illustrate the benefits of international collaboration, the blending of learning cultures, and the potential of distance education to reach large numbers of students in a sustainable, culturally-sensitive way. However, it also notes challenges around quality assurance and the diversity of private higher education providers, some of which may be fraudulent. Overall it questions which business models for cross-border education will and should prevail as demand grows.

This document discusses the concept of school autonomy and networking. It provides examples of networks of model schools from international experience, including the Networked Learning Communities in England and federations of schools. School autonomy is most effective when coupled with accountability measures like external exams. The document advocates for a broader framework for school transformation that considers intellectual, social, spiritual, financial, and governance capital. Networks are important for schools to share knowledge, address common problems, and pool resources as schools take on more autonomy. Further research is still needed to fully understand the impact of school networking.

It will give 50 students the opportunity to connect efforts to promote access, contribute to building an international platform for tools and resources, and strengthen student work worldwide. Students must apply by April 14 with a letter of motivation, CV, reference letter, and description of a potential presentation for consideration and any necessary financial support.

HESA, the Higher Education South Africa organization, works within these national priorities to promote internationalization through various strategies like establishing an internationalization strategy group, leveraging existing government partnerships, and promoting the work of the International Education Association of South Africa. Internationalization in South Africa is driven less by profit and more by values of collegiality, hospitality and
Applying Human Rights Standards to Privatization of Education in UgandaPERIGlobal
Salima Namusobya works for the Initiative for Economic and Social Rights (ISER), a domestic NGO in Uganda which researches and advocates for the realisation of economic and social rights. ISER has been working on privatisation in education since August 2014.
In Uganda, about 80% of children attend private schools in the capital, Kampala. Across the country, private education is growing fast, including in low-income areas, where ‘low-cost’ private schools are mushrooming.
To better understand the situation, ISER conducted preliminary research in August 2014, involving interviews, a survey, literature review and statistical analysis. The aim of the research was to assess the situation against human rights principles, drawn from international law.
The results of this research have been discussed in workshops and presented in reports the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
In this presentation Salima presents the initial results of ISER’s research, and discuss the list of issues that the CESCR released, as well what the political and social impacts. I
The document proposes a TV reality show and online video resource called "Top Teacher" to crowdsource excellent educational video tutorials created by South African teachers. It would showcase challenges in local schools and innovative teaching methods. The project aims to motivate top teachers to create high-quality video lessons through a sponsored contest. This would help supplement education for South African students, teachers, and parents by providing free online resources aligned with the national curriculum. The proposal is made by the Rotary Club of Morningside to address South Africa's need for improved and more accessible education resources.

It proposes developing innovative schools through the Education Development Collaborative that would have diverse student bodies, innovative curriculum focused on 21st century skills, and more autonomy. These next generation schools aim to better prepare all students, including those from low-income backgrounds, for college and careers.
