“…Second, the analysis of the degree of growth change. The only quantities related to enrollment that other studies can relate to include the number of enrollment or the gross enrollment ratio, but they do not use their chain growth rate as the basic data [74,75]. As a result, other research studies can only deal with the trend, but they do not have a deep grasp of the changes in the growth rate.…”

Higher education has made significant contributions to the sustainable development of global society in terms of improving the level of science and technology and optimizing the moral system of citizens. The number of students enrolled in higher education and the proportion of its types are important indicators that reflect the development level of a country’s higher education. As a country with a large population base, China’s development sequence of the number of college students and the proportion of its types in recent years is an important reflection of the sustainable development of global education. Therefore, according to the time series data of the number and types of enrollment in Chinese colleges and universities from 2010 to 2020, this study uses methods such as polynomial regression and Holt’s exponential smoothing prediction to establish a statistical model and predict the number of college enrollment, its chain growth rate, and the proportion of types in recent years. It also examines the differences in the overall level and degree of fluctuation for the number of people in different regions and the chain growth rate. The results show that the number of students enrolled in Chinese colleges and universities is expanding, and their chain growth rate is also increasing. There are significant differences in the degree of growth in different regions, and the increases in the west and south are greater than that in the east and north. The prediction results show that the predicted value of China’s enrollment and its chain growth rate will continue to increase in the next few years. The proportion of undergraduates in college enrollment dropped significantly since 2019, and most provinces have experienced similar situations. Finally, this study also proposes some policy recommendations that can promote the sustainable development of education in view of the above sequence trends. The novelties of this paper are reflected in the materials, methods, and perspectives because it adopts the latest dynamic enrollment data, applies a variety of predicting methods to the analysis of enrollment in universities, and locks the perspective on China, specifically in China’s provinces and regions.

“…The purpose of higher education within the elite system is to educate a handful of students to assume leadership positions in society, whereas the mass system has greater technical and vocational elements. The universal system, on the contrary, is more accessible to the wider population and largely takes the form of lifelong education (Chang et al, 2022). The transitions between stages from elite to mass and from mass to universal are not taken for granted as they require both policies and political will to achieve.…”

“…These concepts include "The Boy Turn" (Weaver-Hightower, 2003), "National Scandal" (Weale, 2016), "Lost Boys" (Tienxhi, 2017), the reversed gender gap dilemma (Van Bavel et al, 2018), and "changing gender disparity," which all discuss the lower representation of males in higher education. Although addressing this issue is complicated and needs additional research, some studies have related the current phenomenon to males' poor reading proficiency (Stoet & Geary, 2020), better performance of females in secondary schools (Tienxhi, 2017), and to socioeconomic matters (Chang, Chou, & Chen, 2022). Several authors, like Alam and Saadat (2020), warned the society from the negative consequences of this current phenomenon, arguing that changing gender disparity measures could result in social imbalance and cause severe social problems.…”

“…As indicated by Wan (2018), only in the beginning of the 20th century had females been provided with an opportunity to be fulltime students at universities. However, during the last four decades, things have substantially changed as the enrolment of females has expanded very rapidly, resulting in the transformation of gender parity (Chang, Chou, & Chen, 2022).…”

Ensuring equal access to affordable higher education is a fundamental target of the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs to be achieved by 2030. Malaysia has committed to this target and introduced effective policies to accomplish the gaol as early as possible. This paper aimed to trace the effort made by Malaysian government in achieving gender parity. The paper used the most recent statistical data released by related higher education institutions. This coupled with the critical review and deep analysis of the documents and reports on higher education published in and out of Malaysia. The paper also employed both Gender Parity Index (GPI) and Gender Gap Global Index GGGI to measure gender parity. The findings showed that Malaysia has not only made efforts, but also achieved gender parity practically in public universities. The female gross enrolment ratio has jumped from only 10.7% in the 1950s to around (48%) of today. Despite this positive remark, gender stereotype is likely to continue taking other shapes and forms and still a room left for improvement.

“…The proportion of state involvement in innovation development is relatively small, with the majority of budget funds (approximately 95%) being allocated through the public sector to national universities and research institutions (Klavdienko 2017;Borsi 2021). However, the government wields indirect tools to regulate the R&D domain, such as tax incentives, preferential lending, and credit guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in research and development activities (Holroyd 2022;Park and Kim 2022;Chang et al 2022).…”

In the post-pandemic social and economic conditions, the proper assessment of the effectiveness of regional innovation systems (RISs) becomes a key endeavor. In our paper, we highlight the necessity to enhance the set of indicators used to evaluate the performance of regional innovation systems in countries with varying innovation capabilities. Specifically, we concentrate on examining case studies from the United States, Japan, China, and the Czech Republic, comparing their experiences with the current situation to innovations and innovation systems in Russia and drawing lessons for this country. Utilizing the Global Innovation Index (GII) rankings, we conduct an analysis of the characteristics of innovative progress and propose specific groups of indicators that can enhance the effectiveness of evaluating the innovative advancement of different regions. Moreover, we determine the need for uniqueness, flexibility, and adaptability of these based on the state’s strategic guidelines in the field of innovation and the innovative potential of the territory as well as the factors of external and internal influence. In addition, we conduct and present the results of the bibliometric network analysis of the research publications retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database using VOSViewer software and covering the role of regional innovation systems (RISs) in shaping up the national innovation systems (NISs) both in general terms and specifically applied to the case of Russia. Our results might be relevant for the stakeholders and policymakers who are engaged in promoting innovation, regional development, and sustainable economic growth, as well as for the academics working on the topics of innovation and economic development.
