This book critically examines some of the major trends in the development of higher education. It demonstrates how in the context of liberalisation, globalisation and marketisation, the crisis in higher education has assumed different dimensions in all advanced and emerging societies. The author shows how the state tends to slowly withdraw from the responsibility of higher education, including in the arena of policy-making, or simply adopts a policy of laissez-faire (of non-involvement) which helps in the rapid unbridled growth of private sector in higher education. The notion of higher education as a public good is under serious contestation in current times. The book argues for the need to resurrect the compelling nature of higher education along with its several implications for public policy and planning, while providing a broad portrayal of global developments, comparative perspectives and key lessons. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of education, political science, public policy and administration, governance, development studies, economics, and those working in the higher education sectors, think-tanks, policymakers as well as NGOs.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 16/20, Sultan Moulay Sliman University (Ecole Supérieure de l'Education et de la Formation), course: Immersion internship in the school 2 and Research Paper (PFE), language: English, abstract: This thesis investigates the influence of English language teaching, as a language of globalization, on the cultural identity of high school students in Morocco. Against a backdrop of a complex linguistic landscape, this study navigates the intricacies of language, culture, and education, aiming to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding the role of English in a globally connected world. A mixed-methods approach, comprising a questionnaire for students and interviews with teachers from Le Lycée Mohammed VI d'Excellence in Morocco, is utilized for a comprehensive exploration of the research question. While the majority of students reported no direct impact of English language teaching on their cultural identity, a subtle, layered influence was observed through their adoption of Western cultural norms. On the other hand, teachers displayed an acute awareness of the significant influence of globalization on teaching English, emphasizing the intricate link between language and culture. They highlighted the role of English as a conduit for intercultural communication and as a critical tool for fostering cultural understanding. The findings signal both challenges and opportunities, reinforcing the essential role of teachers in facilitating language learning and intercultural competence in an interconnected educational landscape. This monograph underscores the need for further research to delve into the subtleties of students' perceptions and to navigate the complexities inherent in teaching English in a globalized environment, ultimately aiming to offer empirical and theoretical contributions that inform policy and practice in the field of English language teaching.
