Training Course in Higher Education Development and Manpower Planning

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on Higher Education Development and Manpower Planning, as higher education institutions have a large, complex and vital role in this world, and there is a wide range of challenges and opportunities that are emerging, with many political, economic and social implications. Perhaps most important are the challenges associated with transforming the views of knowledge itself, which strongly affect the role and responsibility of universities in society. Universities are well positioned to connect the local and the global, which allows them to reach and significantly influence the process of change in societies. It may enhance their potential to contribute to human and social development by encouraging and facilitating citizen participation and involvement in these processes.  Therefore, the British Academy is interested in providing a comprehensive scientific approach that supports this point. Higher education institutions work to improve the quality of education by updating educational content, teaching methods, learning environments, teacher competence and increasing cooperation. Institutions will also develop student admission procedures and recognition of previous learning and degrees in order to enhance national and international mobility.
