    Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development Memorandum of Understanding for the Mediterranean Universities Network for Sustainable Development (SD) focusing on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) The Universities listed below called hereafter as “Members of the Network” have agreed on the following Memorandum which includes seven (7) Articles and following Annex: Introduction-Justification The Mediterranean Region, the cradle of major civilizations and one of the birthplaces of knowledge and education faces major challenges at the dawn of the 21 st century and the 3 rd millennium. Its Universities have a duty to undertake their responsibilities. A new vision of a higher education that addresses the profound challenges of our societies and the unsustainable practices of our days is particularly needed in the Mediterranean region which is characterised by a particular historical background, and political, socio-economic and cultural conditions, evident in all countries including EU and non EU ones. There is a great need for the Universities of the Mediterranean to promote sustainable development in the region in order to stimulate and foster synergies within sustainable development and provide an efficient Forum for consultation among key-stakeholders e.g. public administration, future employers, educators at primary and secondary level, NGOs, politicians, etc. and of course, University and Academic leaders. The establishment of the Network of Mediterranean Universities for the promotion of Sustainable Development (SD) starting with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the region is an urgent demand in order to revitalise the educational systems and the educational community of the Mediterranean. The time period is even more appropriate and urgent, since we are marching on the UN Decade of ESD (2005-2014) and the implementation of the UNECE Strategy on ESD and, in parallel, the countries members of the EU of the region work on the direction towards the provisions of the Bologna Process.

Main achievements since Berlin 1.1. Give a brief description of important developments, including legislative reforms In 2004 the Slovene Parliament adopted three important acts: Act Amending the Higher Education Act (in May 2004), Act on Recognition and Evaluation of Education (in June 2004), and Higher Vocational Education Act (in July 2004). By doing this Slovenia implemented all three legislative priorities set out in the Berlin Communiqué. The Acts also enable the implementation of other developmental orientations of Slovene higher education envisaged by the Bologna Declaration and its accompanying documents and the Master Plan for Higher Education of the Republic of Slovenia. The structure of studies consists of three cycles. The features regarding the contents of study programmes at individual cycles are merely outlined by the Higher Education Act, while details should be provided for with the adoption of a national framework for higher education qualifications in compliance with the guidelines of the European framework for higher education qualifications. The first cycle has a binary structure and offers two types of study programmes: university (academically oriented) and professional programmes.

  • A Framework for Quality in International Higher Education: Policy and Practice in Chile As a Case Study
    A FRAMEWORK FOR QUALITY IN INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION: POLICY AND PRACTICE IN CHILE AS A CASE STUDY Emeline Jerez orcid.org/0000-0001-6697-0745 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2018 Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education Melbourne Graduate School of Education The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT In a globalised environment, internationalisation has become increasingly important to the higher education sector, with varying rationales and intensities. Even though higher education has long had an international dimension, the elevation of internationalisation to one of its primary functions is evolving its character in many countries. An increased inflow of international students and greater academic collaborations, alongside intense competition, now characterise an international higher education arena where national boundaries become blurred. These blurred boundaries raise questions about protection of consumers and reputation for the quality of national systems. Like internationalisation, a focus on quality has become increasingly embedded in the higher education culture since the 1990s. Despite being contemporary processes, there are relatively few studies concerned with their convergence, particularly, the examination of the factors or variables explaining quality in international higher education. This study explores the main elements that contribute to success in international higher education at the system level. The study adopts a national, case study approach. Qualitative data is collected through document analysis, questionnaires to international experts and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in Chile, the context of the case study. Based on an adaptive theory approach, the study constructs a framework for quality in international higher education following an iterative process that brings together the previous management theory of quality as continuous improvement and a novel theory emerging from the empirical data.
