Higher education policy

From Wikinerds

 


Higher education policy refers to how higher education institutions like universities are organised, funded, and operated in a society.

According to Ansell (2006) there are "three different institutional forms of higher education provision: the Anglo-American, Continental, and Scandinavian models"[1].

[edit] 1 The Angloamerican model

According to Ansell (2006), "[t]he Anglo-American model leads to a mass, partially private, and publicly inexpensive system".

The Angloamerican model is sometimes termed the Anglosaxon model[2].

[edit] 2 The continental model

According to Ansell (2006), "[t]he Continental model leads to an elite, fully public, and inexpensive system".

[edit] 3 The Scandinavian model

According to Ansell (2006), "[t]he Scandinavian model leads to a mass, fully public, but highly expensive system".
