Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.’

DOMINANT GLOBAL TREND: MASSIFICATION
Globally, age participation rates have grown from 19% in 2000 to 26% in 2007
OECD estimates 50 % – 60 % participation rates are necessary with a view to development
Low income countries: 5% in 2000 to 7% in 2007
150.6 million tertiary students globally in 2007, an increase of 53% since 2000

Higher Education in a world Changed Utterly – OECD
2010Equity, Efficiency, Quality
BUT
What was new?
The Economic Crisis: Doing More with less Universities in search of revenue: ignoring
access and equity, but (a paradox?)… Social engagement – more intense today
![Page 22: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
New Dynamics RevisitedOECD/IMHE 2010
Crossborder – often empty shells
Diversification: but vocational and professional??
Rankings – risky!; will European rankings make a difference? Do not trust League tables!
Academic Profession – students no longer interested (Nigeria)
Changing institutions/changing mindsets...
Does less money mean more innovation?
![Page 23: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Europe and Beyond:
The European Higher Education and Research areas must be open to the world(EU Modernisation Agenda for Universities)
The world is becoming smaller as the economic crisis hits both developed and developing countries. Austerity forces HEIs to do more with less
To do more with less:- be more innovative - embrace the new dynamics
![Page 24: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“…quality assurance – and especially the internationalization of quality assurance – was one of the most striking new developments since UNESCO held its previous World Conference on Higher Education in 1998.”

GIQAC ACHIEVEMENTS‘The GIQAC grant has accelerated the growth
of quality assurance agencies in various countries and developed leaders who serve as champions for QA in their own agencies.

Paris, 5 – 8 July 2009
COMMUNIQUE
(8 July 2009)
ODL approaches and ICTs present opportunities to widen access to quality education, particularly when Open
Educational Resources are readily shared by many countries and higher education institutions
![Page 36: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Imperative to ensure that all – developed and developing countries - are enabled to contribute to OERs…

Taking the Open Educational Resources (OER) beyond the OER Community: Policy and
Capacity
![Page 38: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Objectives of the Project Ensure greater support for the use of OER created
and used both in developing and developed countries by educational decision makers (governmental and institutional)
Enhance capacity of educational practitioners in developing countries to create and use OER.
![Page 39: UNESCO and Quality Assurance: Progress and Issues Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić Chief, Section for Higher Education UNESCO CHEA International Commission Washington](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d9be55034679748b50ee/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Basic Premise
OERs will not be able to help countries reach their educational goals unless awareness of the potential can be rapidly expanded beyond the communities of interest that they have already attracted
Mainstreaming OER will contribute to the quality of learning materials
