La Asociación Nacional de Universidades Privadas de Bolivia (ANUP) pide que en la reglamentación de la Ley de Autonomías se incluya a los estudiantes de Medicina de las universidades privadas para que realicen prácticas en los hospitales públicos.

El Gobierno aprobó el Decreto 1433 que reglamenta el sistema universitario privado. Entre los artículos más importantes está la disposición de que las universidades privadas deben entregar al Estado el 1 por ciento del total de sus ingresos a favor de la Agencia de Acreditación del Estado.

En la historia de las universidades privadas en Bolivia, no existe información sobre la organización de sindicatos para defender los derechos laborales de los docentes. ¿Es necesario crearlos?
En tiempos en los que la inversión pública permanece en estado de coma profundo, la provincia de Málaga se erige en polo de atracción para la empresa educativa privada. El interés de la Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM) por fijar un campus en la capital así como el concurso público al que ha dado alas el Ayuntamiento de Marbella para albergar una universidad de carácter internacional en su término municipal genera debate y plantea preguntas. La primera y más evidente de las cuestiones es si un centro educativo de estas características supone una nueva fuente de riqueza para un territorio. Y si es así, cuál es el precio.

DAYS could be numbered for independent private colleges playing hide-and-seek with government with regards to the implementation of the new curriculum for primary and secondary education is concerned. Many of the country's private colleges are either resisting or finding it difficult to implement the syllabi, with some of them having completely abandoned the local examination body -- the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council -- in favour of Cambridge International Examinations. Officials from independent colleges surveyed by the Financial Gazette recently are of the view that implementing the new curriculum would be costly for their institutions because it requires additional staff to cover the new subjects that are part of the new syllabi. It would also entail that their teaching staff go through re-training while relevant learning material would have to be acquired. But Primary and Secondary Education Deputy Minister, Paul Mavhima, said government would clampdown on all institutions defying its directives. He outlined what he called two issues characterising independent colleges' terrain. "Firstly, there are some institutions in this sector that are operating without any form of registration and many of these institutions have approached us and pleaded for the formalisation grace period to be extended. "Secondly, there are some registered independent colleges that, for one reason or the other, are not implementing the new curriculum, but recruiting trained teachers. "Now all the institutions choosing to operate without registration risk facing closure, if they do not put their paperwork in order," said Mavhima. Christian College of Southern Africa principal, Tichaona Zinhumwe, said the way the new curriculum was structured requires them to change the way they have been enrolling students. "This poses challenges because we do not have adequate facilities to accommodate these students. Some of the subjects require space and most independent colleges are located in city centres so it will be difficult to

Singapore’s first US-style liberal arts college in collaboration with Yale University, set up at the National University of Singapore (NUS), has selected its first cohort of 157 students to start in August – after sifting through 11,400 applications from over 130 countries – the college announced last week.
Now, Yale is seeking to export those values by establishing the first foreign campus to bear its name, a liberal arts college in Singapore that is set to open this summer. The ambitious, multimillion-dollar project thrills many in the Yale community who say it will help the university maintain its prestige and build global influence.
News of universities partnering with massive open online course providers has become commonplace, which is why Yale University stands out for what it’s not doing: rushing.
Needy U.S. borrowers are defaulting on almost $1 billion in federal student loans earmarked for the poor, leaving schools such as Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania with little choice except to sue their graduates.

Detroit's bankruptcy filing last week and the decades of decline that preceded it have been a predictable political and historical Rorschach test. The right blames the city's demise on moral failures and weak character -- the banana-republic-caliber corruption and fiscal fecklessness of its politicians, the greed of its unions, the spinelessness of automobile executives who gave into them. To the left -- more inclined to see history as the product of "great forces" than "great men" (or terrible ones) -- the Motor City was swamped by powerful tides: racism, sprawl, and unbridled capitalism.
