“…Previous literature has stressed the importance of student participation in governance, citing bene ts such as enhanced planning, career enhancement (especially for students interested in health policy) and provision of an inclusive and equitable learning experience for all students, resulting in improved learning outcomes for students (30,31). The contribution of student participation especially in formulating guidelines related to academics and essential campus services, should therefore be prioritized despite challenges that might be faced (32). This may improve the academic quality of life and overall development in the form of skills at their workplace (31).…”

Background: To ensure training quality, medical training institutions must provide adequate learning environment and prepare trainees for work but there is research paucity on the subject. We determined the level of satisfaction with the learning environment and transition to employment among graduates of a Ugandan medical school. Methods: We conducted an online cross-sectional survey among graduates of Mbarara University of Science and Technology medical school in Uganda, graduating between 1995 and 2020 between March - November 2022. We used Likert scales to measure satisfaction with the learning environment and assessed relevance of the training in transition to the job market. Participants were reached by snowballing and data was analyzed using R-Studio. Results: A total of 361 graduates responded to the survey. Majority were male (72%) and reported having formal employment (94%). Most (57.4%) of the graduates were satisfied with the quality of teaching at medical school. In contrast, fewer graduates (31.2%) were satisfied with the state of the infrastructure at the university and the opportunities available to influence medical school policy. Majority (85%) utilized the knowledge and skills acquired at university in their current job and 75% were satisfied with their ability to perform well under pressure. However, only 37% and 25.4% reported that the medical school supported them in internship and employment search. Conclusion: Students were satisfied with the teaching quality at the University and ability to perform well at their jobs but gaps exist in infrastructure and preparation for transition to jobs. Hence a need to improve infrastructure.

“…Numerous previous studies have addressed the topic of university (Agyeman, Tamanja, & Bingab, 2021;Bian, 2021;Burns, 2020;Carson, 2020;Croucher et al, 2020;Crow et al, 2020;de Boer & Maassen, 2020;Facchini & Fia, 2021;Gu, Feng, & Huang, 2020;Hai & Anh, 2022;Halalu, 2023;Huang et al, 2020;Jiang & Xue, 2021;Lo, 2021;Mai et al, 2022;Nurlatifah & Ahmar, 2022;Rymarzak et al, 2020;Shattock, 2021;Shaw, 2014;Staples et al, 2021;Xue, Cornelis, & Zhu, 2022;Yadessa, Bekabil, & Fetene, 2022;Yao, Weng, & Ye, 2019). However, studies specifically addressing the theme of good university governance namely, Blackmore & Lund (2022); Christina & Brahmana (2021); Mutiarin, Suswanta, & Darumurti (2019); Nurhayati & Ahmar (2022); Rahayu, Subagiyo, & Rahayu (2018); Wardhani et al (2019) have primarily focused on examining its influence on various aspects of university governance.…”

To achieve its vision and mission, the University of Indonesia (UI) has undertaken a series of improvements across various domains, encompassing governance. However, despite these endeavours, the enhancements in UI's governance do not seem to correlate with its performance achievements as documented in the annual reports. This study aims to analyse the application of the principles of good university governance at UI, a state university, from 2014 to 2019. The findings reveal that the execution of good university governance at UI, operating as a State University with a Legal Entity from 2014 to 2019, has not been optimised. The study delineated obstacles to good university governance at UI, encompassing the lack of involvement in decision-making processes beyond the rectorate, particularly in academic management; absence of transparent selection criteria for critical leadership roles such as UI Rectors and Deans; disparities in workload distribution across UI units; and outdated information on the ui.ac.id website. Recommendations stemming from the study advocate for enhancements in regulatory frameworks, refinement of staff performance assessment mechanisms, dissemination of financial regulations, and exploration of avenues to augment non-tuition revenue streams. These proposed measures aim to mitigate the identified challenges and to implement sound university governance principles more effectively at UI
