The admission policy to higher education is considered one of the most relevant policies to enhancing the quality of education, and one of the most critical issues in Egypt and the rest of the world. Hence, it requires constant review and evaluation. Despite the fact that higher education is currently experiencing an increasing social demand and a wide variety of patterns of provision - which means that the educational systems need to respond to this growing demand by providing more educational opportunities - this does not mean, by any way, sacrificing the quality of education by disrupting its internal and external efficiency. Therefore, this study aims at suggesting a proposed vision to develop the admission policy to higher education in Egypt with reference to contemporary trends. The study begins with an overview and a critical analysis of the development of the admission policy to higher education in Egypt from 1925 - the beginning of the state's tendency towards the establishment of a modern higher education system – up till the present to determine the factors affecting the admission policy and its implications on the Egyptian education system (both pre-higher education and higher education). The overview indicates that although the current policy goes back to the mid-1950s, admission procedures are still confined to the coordination office whose main mission is to distribute the students among the various higher education institutions according to: their preferences, their grades in the general secondary certificate, taking into consideration the specific requirements of each college or institute, and the rules of geographical admission. The study adopted a "policy learning" ISSN 2167-3179 (Online) USA 4 The 2019 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Barcelona, Spain approach through presenting models of the admission policy to higher education in some systems that are recognized for their efficiency and quality in two types of countries. The first type includes countries which have a context similar to Egypt’s in terms of social, cultural, economic or political circumstances, such as Tunisia, Malaysia and Turkey. The second type includes a system representing some developed countries such as the United Kingdom, to help decision-makers in developing the admission policy to higher education while taking into consideration the specificity of the Egyptian context. The study showed several results, the most important ones were that the admission policy in several educational systems, such as Tunisia and the United Kingdom, begins from the secondary stage (High School) through the adoption of student mentoring by guiding students to study the courses that qualify them for a particular college or profession. This system establishes a partnership between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education. It was also found that both Malaysia and the United Kingdom adopt the "Pre-Qualification Program for Higher Education", an intermediate stage between secondary school and higher education, which spans from one to two years. On the other hand, the admission policy to higher education in Turkey depends on demand and the performance of students in university entrance exams, which are usually preceded by an optional one year preparatory program in secondary schools. The study ends with a proposed perspective to enhance the admission policy to higher education in Egypt in light of the status quo of the Egyptian education system and the lessons learned from the contemporary trends of the selected countries while taking into account the specific conditions of the Egyptian context.

For centuries Saudi Arabia has relied on oil to strengthen and further its economy. Various scholarship programmes - particularly the King Abdullah Scholarship Programme (KASP) - benefit alumni in their abilities, know-how and outlook to positively impact their society upon return. Hence, KASP holds potential to help Saudi Arabia in shifting from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy. Through a rigorous literature review, a series of interviews and by assessing Saudi Arabia through the lens of social and human capital and network theory, this thesis seeks to assess the role of KASP and comparable scholarship programmes in furthering the Kingdom’s transition from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy. In particular, the thesis highlights the applicability of Giddens’ structuration theory and the “duality of structure” in understanding the interplay between structural frameworks and individuals. By bridging the gap between structure and agency, it is thus possible to make sense of interview findings and to derive the dynamics that help an economic shift. In turn, these findings can be applied to Saudi Arabia using the frameworks of social and human capital, as well as network theory. Combining these approaches shows great promise

Of the many kinds of gifts given, imported food products that are perceived to provide health benefits, such as jams, nuts, dried fruits, candies and cookies -- either organic or conventional, are seen as demonstrating good prospects in Taiwan. General Information: Overview Gift packages are an important item in Taiwan's retail sales. Traditionally, people in Taiwan send food products in gift packages to their friends and relatives during three major lunar year festivals: Chinese New Year (usually in February); the Dragon Boat Festival (usually in June); and the Moon Festival (usually in September). In preparation for the traditional gift giving during these festivals, producers and importers prepare the gift boxes before the holiday time. Many food distributors aggressively promote the gift packages by holding product presentations for retailers. Retail stores print gift box brochures and adopt various promotional strategies, including price discounts and/or other extraordinary strategies to attract clients. These activities mark the start of the scramble for the festival gift box market, which is estimated at about US$2 billion or about five percent of total retail food sales in Taiwan.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 11/29/2011 GAIN Report Number: Taiwan Post: Taipei ATO Market Snapshot - Taiwan's Retail Food Sector Report Categories: Retail Food Sector Approved By: Valerie Brown-Jones Prepared By: Angela Itoge Report Highlights: Taiwan's retail food sector is becoming increasingly competitive. Challenges in the middle tier and low-priced markets include decreased sales of premium products due to the recent economic slowdown. Nevertheless, there are great opportunities for U.S. exporters as the growth of premium retail chains continues unabated. Gourmet food importers are increasing imports of premium meats, condiments and health foods, but lower-priced supermarkets will continue to rely on brand recognition and pricing compatibility in wholesale purchase decision- making. General Information: General Information: The Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) in Taipei interviewed company executives and managers at three large supermarkets representing the three subsectors of Taiwan's retail food market: City Super (high-end), Sung Ching/Matsusei (medium-priced), and PX Mart (discount). Each market category prioritizes distinct factors for overall import purchasing decisions, but brand recognition and proven success overseas are important factors for each retail subsector. The interviews also provided insight into food product trends in the Taiwan market, which often serves as a harbinger for coming trends in the greater China market. Market Overview City Super: High End Grocer -- Small But Growing Luxury retail grocers represent a growing niche market in Taiwan. As Taiwan travelers continue to go abroad in large numbers to vacation and conduct business, their appreciation and expectation of food diversity has created room for high end retailers such as City Super.

During the 1950 Taiwan was largely an agricultural economy, and Huang started the business from scratch. Years of hard work and accumulated experience plus careful attention to quality paid off as Huang's honey gained a solid reputation among consumers. As he reached an age where he could no longer do everything himself, Huang looked for a successor to take up the work. He hoped his three sons would carry on the family business, and the sons were ready to honor their father's legacy by indeed returning home to carry on the task.

TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1!OVERVIEW 1!COMMONLY IMPORTED PRODUCTS 3!MARKET CONDITIONS BY SECTOR GO TO MARKET REPORT: 5!DISTRIBUTION 5!RECENT TRENDS Taiwan 6!RESOURCES 7!REFERENCES Overview: Domestic agricultural production in Taiwan is limited, making Taiwan increasingly dependent on imported food and other agricultural products. In 2012, food and agriculture product imports in Taiwan were valued at US$11.108 billion, up from US$3.87 billion in 2011. The United States is the leading supplier of food and agricultural imports to Taiwan, and Taiwan was the seventh largest market for U.S. Agricultural exports in 2012, with US$3.2 billion. Although US exports have been bulk commodities, consumer-oriented products imported from the U.S. in 2012 (red meats, poultry, fresh fruits, processed fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dairy products and snack foods) were valued at US$1.1 billion, up a record six percent. Approximately 70 percent of organic food and beverages sold in Taiwan are imported. Health and wellness sales grew in 2012, fueled in part by diet-related health concerns and a mini baby boom in 2011 and 2012. Within Taiwan’s farming sector, about 45 percent of the labor force is over age 65, leading to additional government assistance for the agriculture sector, including promoting transition to organic production and further development of the high-value-added food processing industry.

    Country Market Profile: Taiwan Euromonitor Reports That Taiwan's

    Country Market Profile: Taiwan Euromonitor reports that Taiwan’s economy actually grew in 2020. Domestic activity has been affected by measures taken to contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but the recession has not been as sharp as in other countries, which were slower to react to the pandemic. Export performance is limited by the global slowdown due to COVID- 19. Growth of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) should continue rising to 4.4% in 2021, before dipping to around 1.7% per year in 2025-2027. • Real GDP grew to 3.1% in 2020, up from growth of 2.7% in 2019. • The real value of private final consumption grew by 2.2% in 2019 and a fall of 1.7% is expected in 2020. Consumer spending has been limited by Coronavirus (COVID- 19) pandemic measures. • The rate of employment has been slowly rising and presently accounts for about two- thirds of the working-age labor force. Unemployment was 3.9% in 2020. Many businesses are struggling to weather COVID-19 and have to make lay-offs or are facing closure. • The present government’s goal of lessening economic dependence on China will be a key priority over the next several years. The key to this strategy is Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, which aims to promote trade and investment with other Asian countries. A long-term challenge is to remain competitive with Asian rivals as they expand their free trade deals with Taiwan’s trading partners. Taiwan’s new Asia Silicon Valley Development Plan aims to promote research and development for devices and applications of the “internet of things”.
