Financing Bologna, the Internationally Mobile Students in European Higher Education

Despite the importance of the Bologna process for the mobility of students, and the further mobility of graduates, as well as for peace, growth and welfare in that area, nothing has been decided so far for the financing of internationally mobile students, so that the burden of that financing, usually public, is supported by the host country. Moreover in- and outflows of students show imbalances and such imbalances are expected to increase with mobility. Therefore, we first suggest and discuss an alternative system transferring the responsibility for financing higher education to the country of origin of the students (except for those from developing countries). Origin country finances students from its territory through a two-part portable voucher: one part is dedicated to the financing of the true cost of studies, the other part intends to support student’s life and might be designed in such a way that some social goals are reached. Those vouchers can be used anywhere in a defined international area provided it is in the designed field of studies and in a school whose quality has been recognized by the issuing country. Some actual systems at work in the world, which prefigure aspects of the proposal, are presented in appendix. Second, we show that, when coupled with a compensation of the origin country in case of international career of the graduate, the system proposed in this paper might be equivalent to a centralized efficient design.

Responding to student diversity teacher education and classroom practice

This paper is part of a larger study aimed at exploring how instructors of catechism at informal learning centres of the Society of Christian Doctrine in Malta respond to the diversity of their learners (Mizzi, 2007). Using a qualitative research design, six catechists and three children from classes in six different centres responded to semi-structured interviews on how they responded to the individual needs of their learners. Each catechist was also observed teaching in three lessons. Data analysis yielded seven key themes. One of these was that they created a supportive learning environment in their classes. This was characterised by a feeling of a sense of community where involvement was expected from all and personal relationships, humour and affect were cultivated, and by a harmonious and ‘safe’ climate. This was described as being in contrast to what some catechists experienced in the formal situation of schools where four of them were also teachers.peer-reviewe
