This research delves into the evolving landscape of private higher education (PrHE) in the UK, moving beyond the traditional franchising model to explore the critical role of strategic alignment between Public Higher Education Institutions (PuHEIs) and Private Higher Education Institutions (PrHEIs) in fostering thriving institutions. While franchising arrangements have traditionally facilitated the delivery of PuHEIs programmes through PrHEIs, this study emphasises the importance of strategic alignment in achieving long-term success. The study explores how aligning institutional mission, strategic goals, resources, and practices can enhance academic quality, expand access to education, and foster innovation. Using Oxford Business College (OBC) as a case study, the research highlights OBC's transformation from a follower to a pioneer in research, staff development, and business incubation, driven by direction of strategic alignment with PuHEIs. Key focus areas include widening participation, student support, research enhancement, staff development, and business incubation. The findings underscore that beyond the transactional nature of franchising, strategic alignment is essential for PrHEIs to thrive, setting a new paradigm for sustainable and impactful higher education partnerships in the UK.

“…In countries that have low per capita income where the people are less educated, as well as in conflict countries and have limited access to digital technology, the delivery of information via digital media platforms becomes more limited and not optimal. 43,44 Low income prevents people from having digital equipment as a medium for selfdevelopment. The lack of literacy skills in this community group is also often an obstacle in absorbing and managing information conveyed through digital media platforms.…”

Background: Improving the education system of patient-centered health information is particularly important for vulnerable populations. The magnitude of the attributable breast cancer burden is very essential to be a concern to developing a good management strategy. Improving the patient’s understanding of their conditions may enhance the quality of life following breast cancer. The study aimed to review the effectiveness of audio-visual education through digital media platforms to improve the quality of life among people with breast cancer.Method: These 1643 articles from eight databases i.e., Scopus, PubMed, MEDLINE via EBSCO, the Cochran Library, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, BioMed Central, and Sage Journals were searched by a combination of medical subject heading (MESH) term, and unique references were examined. All studies evaluating audio-visual education of women with breast cancer delivered by digital media platforms were included.Results: The search yielded 14 articles with various digital media platforms, such as web-based, applications, e-mail, videoconference, YouTube, and WhatsApp. All studies reported improving quality of life, except one study using WhatsApp as the platform. Audio-visual interventions were variably effective in enhancing the quality of life of patients depending on their characteristics. Audio-visual interventions appear to be effective in improving quality of life amongst breast cancer person. Nevertheless, its effectiveness depends on the frequency and intensity of audio-visual delivery. Meanwhile, the contents of education materials must be adjusted to the administration method. Audio-visual modeling via digital platforms may facilitate improving quality of life and can be an important consideration in future health-education interventions.

“…Because, in the learning process, it is emphasized that the ability is meant in order to pursue a career. No longer only good at cognitive, but there is an integration of all the capacities that each individual has to be developed (Abdulkerim et al, 2022). This is where lifelong learning applies and opens ourselves up to do it.…”

The purpose of the study was to determine the readiness and difficulty of photographing and to improve research and publications of lecturers in Jakarta through lecturers at the Indonesian Christian University (UKI). Research is one of the indicators of the tridarma that must be carried out by lecturers throughout Indonesia, including lecturers at UKI. One proof of its performance is its publication in international and nationally reputable journals. Because research has a maximum dual effect and contributes to policy making in institutions. Allegedly there was a time when there were absolutely no lecturers who ran the administration of Academic Position. To become a superior university, one of the determining indicators is evidenced by the number of lecturers with the highest Academic Position. Data were obtained from secondary data and primary data as well as filling out questionnaires addressed to lecturers in the UKI environment. Data were collected from 102 respondents from 33 study programs. The results, which include lecturer research data and observations for the last four years from 2017 - 2020, show an increase in the number of publications in reputable and local international and national journals, although the results are comparable between the number of lecturers and publications. The backwardness of the publication of scientific journals of national and international repute can only be achieved if each lecturer conducts a scientific study and is published in accordance with the UKI Research and Community Service (LPPM) program, that each lecturer has the opportunity to conduct research twice a year, both independent research and research research group.
