Zarifis, George K. – European Journal of Education, 2009
Since 2000, the European Union has given greater attention to lifelong learning, as expressed in the Lisbon presidency conclusions and the general objectives of the Education and Training 2010 work programme.

Hardy-Dubernet, Anne-Chantal – European Journal of Education, 2008
In order to successfully match students and jobs in the medical profession of their choice, and at the same time meet the country's health care needs, it has become evident that access to medical schools and the various medical professions should be tightly regulated, in particular by a "numerus clausus." In most Western countries,…

Prokou, Eleni – European Journal of Education, 2008
This article argues that, despite globalisation forces, national education and training systems have kept their particularities. Policies of convergence, enhanced by supranational organisations such as the European Commission, have not yet led to a homogenisation of national education and training systems. The latter are still influenced by the…

Allen, Jim; De Weert, Egbert – European Journal of Education, 2007
The relationship between higher education and employment is commonly interpreted in terms of the extent to which the higher education sector is providing graduates with the knowledge and skills to match employment needs. It is assumed that a mismatch between working in a job and level or field of education limits the use of skills, with adverse…

Teichler, Ulrich – European Journal of Education, 2007
Renewed public interest in the relationships between higher education and the world of work and a deficient data base contributed to the decision to undertake a major comparative study on graduate employment and work. In the framework of the CHEERS study, supported by the European Commission's TSER programme, some 40,000 graduates of the academic…

White, Patrick; Smith, Emma – European Journal of Education, 2005
The OECD's recent research initiative, Attracting, Developing and Retaining Effective Teachers (OECD 2002), has highlighted teacher supply and demand as an area of international concern. Using data collected in this area as part of a wider OECD initiative (the PISA 2000 study) an individual-level analysis was conducted on the views on teacher…

Dodds, Anneliese – European Journal of Education, 2005
In both Britain and France, evaluation has been seen as one element of national strategies to internationalise higher education (HE), with the spread of evaluation indicating policy convergence. However, there are dangers in describing the cross-national adoption of evaluation as an instance of policy transfer in higher education. This article…

During the 1990s, the number of students enrolling in science subjects at universities was declining each year in Germany, France, Italy, amongst other countries. These decreases are too readily attributed to a general disaffection caused by the image that younger generations have of scientific studies: they are seen as being the most…

de Francesco, Corrado – European Journal of Education, 1986
Overreliance on enrollment figures for comparative analysis of higher education systems may create misunderstanding because data often lump together what is institutionally different, and the notion of "higher education student" may conceal completely different conditions, even within the same sector.

Sadlak, Jan – European Journal of Education, 1986
Analysis of three common approaches to higher education planning (social demand, manpower planning, and rate-of-return) in European countries suggests that while planners should not rely on one approach, combining approaches superficially can produce contradictory indicators. It also suggests ideological differences are less significant in…
