“…Yamaguchi and Tsukahara (2016) discuss how Japanese higher education deals with quality assurance, as the government has introduced a set of important changes in higher education in accordance with the main goal of Japanese universities. Where Japanese higher education aims to conduct teaching and deep research in specialized academic subjects and develop intellectual and practical capabilities, while the technical colleges’ goal specifically is the teaching of specialized academic subjects and the development of the capabilities required for the practice of professions.…”

The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is keen on the continuous development of higher education and the organization of continuous initiatives to improve the efficiency of the educational process and increase the quality of educational outputs. For this reason, it was adopted to transform the academic system in Saudi universities from the semester system to the trimester system as part of the transformation plan for the education system in the country. This study was applied to the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at King Abdulaziz University (KAU), to study the effect of using a trimester system in achieving the goals of the faculty’s strategic plan and contribute towards improving the quality of educational outcomes. A survey was implemented targeting the faculty students, to know their impressions and expectations about the system. The results summarize suggestions for implementing the system flexibly, contributing to facilitating students’ adaptation to this system and achieving its positive effects on their academic interests.

“…In the last twenty-five years Japan developed a fairly complex and comprehensive evaluation system that enables internal supervision by the institution or by external professionals that have some relevance for the nature of the institution. This policy of granting considerable autonomy to institutions derives from the strong desire of the Japanese government to allow the system of higher education to adapt itself easily and rapidly to the demands of the global economy (Yamaguchi & Tsukahara, 2016).…”

For over six decades Israel’s system of higher education has been managed by the Ministry of Education and the Council for Higher Education (CHE). During this period, significant transitions have occurred in the academic system throughout the world and in Israel, leaving their mark on research and teaching and on the related regulatory agencies. The purpose of the study is to examine the need for regulation of higher education in a capitalist world, with Israel serving as a case study. The study examines the CHE’s management of changes that occurred in the academic world and the overall considerations utilized by the pilots of this regulatory agency, which led to shaping policy from a perspective of time and with an eye to the challenges of the future, in comparison to supervisory agencies around the world. The research method is based on research literature addressing the system of higher education in Israel and elsewhere as well as on interviews with senior academics occupying key positions in the CHE in the past and present. The research findings indicate that the CHE has a bureaucratic image, a short-sighted policy, and that it reacts to events more than leading them, as opposed to its declared goal of promoting high standard, innovative, and accessible research and teaching processes to benefit the economy and society. The conclusion generated by the research findings is that implementation of a hybrid model suitable for the twenty first century, which combines liberalization and regulation, should be explored. This model will let institutions of higher education develop independently while reducing government supervision, and will allow the regulatory body to regulate their activity via incentives and restrictions, while identifying market failures that it will define. Such a regulatory body will include an array of academic experts from the field of higher education with proven experience in the fields of academic research and teaching, in order to separate the managing of Israel’s system of higher education from politics and bureaucracy.

“…Mostly a public sector affair throughout modern history, the higher education sector in the developed world has been undergoing a dynamic shift toward privatization and deregulation. Since the 1990s, higher education policies in Japan have started focusing on liberalization, deregulation and increased institutional autonomy (Yamaguchi & Tsukahara, 2016). In the United States, the Ohio state government's support for the sector has shifted from strict regulations to "partially regulated" and "highly deregulated" approaches (Camou & Patton, 2012).…”

This study aimed to identify the key areas in which private universities in Bangladesh require government support, and to analyze the current sectoral context for delineating the optimal nature of required government facilitation. The country's private tertiary institutions are facing restrictive governance strategies at a time when effective government support is vital for enhancing private universities' increasingly important role in nation-building. This qualitative study was based on particular tenets of grounded theory, using open-ended, axial and selective coding for analyzing data collected from open-ended interviews and secondary sources. Interview participants were selected through purposive sampling on the basis of their administrative, policymaking and pedagogical roles in private higher education. The coded results showed the need for government support in the areas of quality assurance, curriculum standardization, research facilitation and faculty development through foresighted governance and policy approaches. The emergent theory of "the Partnership Approach" shows that instead of regulation-focused government interventions, collaborative and supportive governance policies are required for bolstering private higher education in Bangladesh.
