CPRs: Next steps April 17, 2006
1st step • We need to revise, reorganize, complete, and improve the draft CPRs in the light of yesterdays’ comments and discussions • As much as possible use a set of commonindicators that will facilitate comparisons
2nd step • We then need to integrate a more analytical or interpretative focus. • Suggested areas: • System evolution and adaptation to a market economy • Autonomy and regulation • Quality assurance • He outcomes in relation to labor market needs • Funding
Area: 1 • System evolution and adaptation. Focus on: • Normative and policy instruments • Institutional structure (number, diversity) • Privatization • System governance • Institutional governance • Tensions and debates
Area 2 • Autonomy and regulation in HE at the system and institutional levels. Focus on: • Admission procedures • Curriculum content and management • Degree structure (an the movement towards Bologna) • Teaching and faculty • Problems, tensions, debates
Area 3: • Quality assurance procedures. Focus on: • Instruments used • Implementation • Impact • Management (centralized/decentralized; one/multiple agencies; how HE institutions participate; other stakeholders participation) • Strengths and weaknesses; problems, tensions, debates
Area: 4 • HE outcomes in relation to labor market needs. Focus on: • Market or manpower-planning driven • Qualitative or quantitative planning • Graduate’s labor market insertion: employment and unemployment, salaries, migration • Problems, tensions, debates
Area: 5 • Funding modalities and mechanisms. Focus on: • Financing: of institutions, core educational function and students, and research • Modalities used for public funding: line item budgets – block grants, student grants/loans, formula funding, performance based funding, etc. • Private funding: student fees, form other private entities • Income generated by institutions (entrepreneurial activities) • Balance between sources and modalities • Problems, tensions, debates
Concluding remarks • The idea is not to add new sections but to integrate the analytical and interpretative focus in the already existing CPRs. • The idea is now to strengthen the policy approach and to underline a few central messages that are relevant for future policy in each country • From a formal point of view this should be reflected in the Executive Summary of each CPR
