التعليم العالي بعد ثورات الربيع العربي
The Arab world needs to focus in the coming years on higher education quality and entrepreneurship education to bridge the gap between education supply and labour market demand, as well as tackling graduate unemployment, which was a factor driving the 2011 uprisings, according to a draft Arab research strategy.
The strategy was to be presented at a conference of Arab higher education and science ministers in Abu Dhabi in early December. But ministers unanimously agreed to postpone reviewing the strategy because they wanted more time to study the details, the Emirates News Agency reported.
However research presented at the Abu Dhabi conference gave some strong indications of the challenges Arab higher education ministers face if universities are to help their economies to compete with industrialised nations.
Low spending on science
According to the research, problems in higher education systems in the Arab world include reluctance to change and innovate, poor organisational frameworks, traditional management systems, financial dependence on governments, and lack of autonomy and academic freedom for universities.
