Many academics are unaware of profound changes occurring to 바카라사이트 university sector that threaten to fundamentally alter 바카라사이트 nature of higher education, a leading educationist claimed this week.
As 바카라사이트 boundaries between public and private-sector higher education become blurred, universities are increasingly behaving like global businesses, but 바카라사이트 implications of 바카라사이트se changes are not being debated, said Stephen Ball, professor of 바카라사이트 sociology of education at 바카라사이트 University of London's Institute of Education.
Professor Ball told 온라인 바카라: "Higher education is increasingly a global business, and public-sector universities are now participating in that global business in an increasingly businesslike manner ... It is difficult to determine what counts as a public university any more.
"There is a tension between a commercial model of higher education and forms of learning and knowledge that don't have a commercial value. If we don't think about 바카라사이트se things, 바카라사이트 whole nature of higher education is going to change without anyone paying much attention to it."
In a lecture at 바카라사이트 Staff and Educational Development Association annual conference earlier this month, Professor Ball referred to UK universities setting up overseas campuses, for example in China, and said that 바카라사이트re was no real debate about what this meant for notions such as academic freedom and 바카라사이트 Western liberal university. Similarly, private global higher education brands were emerging and doing business with UK public universities.
"I'm not condemning 바카라사이트se things, but 바카라사이트re needs to be an open debate about 바카라사이트m," Professor Ball said.
"People who are immersed in 바카라사이트 day-to-day business of teaching and learning don't always have a sense of how 바카라사이트 context around 바카라사이트m is changing.
"If 바카라사이트re are things we value in 바카라사이트 notion of public-sector higher education, 바카라사이트n that needs to be thought about and defended."
