THE GROWTH OF PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW IN THE CONTEXT OF LIBERALISATION, PRIVATISATION AND MARKETISATION
Authors: Qureshi Fayyaz Hussain , Khawaja Sarwar 
Published: September 2021

<p>Economic policies encouraging private ownership (liberalisation, privatisation and marketisation) have allowed Private Higher Education Institutions (PrHEIs) to proliferate in most parts of the world, particularly since the 1990s. The number of private colleges and universities continues to grow in most countries at a remarkable rate, partly reflecting the demand for greater choice and more flexibility, which PrHEIs are able to offer. In some countries, PrHEIs even outnumber public higher education institutions (PuHEIs) or are at least expected to do so within the next decade. This is particularly the case in emerging and developing countries. The worldwide expansion of private higher education can be illustrated by the fact that one in three students globally is now enrolled in PrHEIs, and there are very few places in the world where public monopolies continue to prevent the emergence of alternative providers from the private sector. In the UK, the Government recognises that private, for-profit higher education institutions, the majority of which award degrees in conjunction with state universities, typically function more efficiently and work harder to improve the student experience. Their appeal among non-traditional students dovetails perfectly with Government rhetoric to make higher education more accessible and widen participation. A legal framework has been created that makes it easier for challenger institutions to enter the market and compete with the public higher education sector. A more streamlined, student-focused approach to the regulation of higher education in the UK is also designed to stimulate further growth and competition in the HE sector, ensuring that private colleges and universities remain a viable alternative to the public sector. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0886/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

CAN MUSIC BOOST SELF-CONFIDENCE AND ACCEPTABILITY? A LIVED EXPERIENCE
Authors: Kihoro Muya Francis 
Published: September 2021

<p>Music is beneficial to all people, even those living with challenges, and can boost their self-confidence and acceptability in society. Educators know that practice is one of the key psychological principles of learning and that repetition will lead to perfection in all areas, especially so in playing instruments. The following account is a personal intervention with a low-esteem, mentally challenged boy using music. The intervention was done at Limuru, a small town in Kiambu County, Kenya. It involved teaching the boy how to play the keyboard. The boy’s self-confidence changed noticeably after he was accepted as an integral part of the worship group in his church. It is envisaged that sharing this experience can inform parents, guardians, social workers, teachers and other personnel who deal with struggling students, low esteem or mentally challenged individuals on the benefits of music intervention, even as it spurs interest in research on benefits of exposure to music.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Published: September 2021

Fenomena pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Arab di Indonesia dewasa ini cukup memprihatinkan. Jumlah peminat bahasa Arab dari tahun ke tahun semakin mengalami kemunduran. Motivasi dan minat siswa belajar bahasa arab juga sangat rendah, termasuk mahasiswa jurusan bahasa arab. Hal ini disebabkan karena orientasi dan prospek bahasa Arab yang kurang menjanjikan. Oleh karena itu, para pemerhati bahasa arab harus segera mengambil langkah untuk melakukakan reorientasi pengajaran bahasa arab. Siswa dan mahasiswa bahasa arab tidak boleh lagi diarahkan semata-mata untuk menjadi guru dan dosen bahasa Arab, tetapi juga harus diarahkan untuk menjadi penerjemah dan peneliti dalam bidang bahasa Arab. Lembaga penerjemahan dan penelitian bahasa Arab harus segera dihidupkan demi untuk menampung lulusan bahasa Arab setelah menyelesaikan studynya di perguruan tinggi. Dengan orientasi yang jelas serta prospek yang menjanjikan, bahasa Arab akan banyak diminati oleh mahasiswa.

Nowadays, the phenomena of the Arabic teaching and learning are very apprehensive. The number of the Arabic applicants decreases year after year. The motivation and the interest of the students to study Arabic is also very low and weak, including the students of the Arabic department itself. It is caused by the orientation and the prospect of the Arabic department which are thought not to be good and promising. So that, the Arabic observers should do reorientation of the Arabic teaching and learning. The students should be aimed not only to be Arabic teachers and lecturers but also to be translators and researchers in Arabic field. The translation and research institution should be established as soon as possible because this institution can accommodate the Arabic alumni later after they finished their study at the university. With the definite orientation and promising prospect, the Arabic department will attract many students.

Authors: Priyal G , Jose Maji , Nayak Shruti , Pai Vidya , Prabhu Sudeendra 
Published: September 2021

Introduction and Aim: Toothpastes are the most common preventive means in oral health care. Many commercially available dentifrices claim to have antimicrobial properties, but little research has been conducted to investigate these claims. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different toothpaste formulations in reducing the oral microbial load.
Methodology: A total of six types of tooth pastes-4 herbal and 2 non-herbal- were assigned to a group of 20 subjects each, who used it for a period of six weeks. During the course of the study, at the end of 1st, 3rd and 6th week, subgingival plaque samples collected were subjected to microbial analysis.
Results: Microbial analysis identified colonies of organisms such as S. mitis, S. mutans, S. salivarius, Peptostreptococcus species, Prevotella species and Lactobacillus species. Colony forming units (cfu) calculated indicated a reduction in microbial load from 1st to 6th week of use of different tooth paste formulations. However statistical analysis of the results did not show significant differences between the groups (p>0.005).
Conclusion: The selected tooth paste formulations were effective in controlling the microbial load and therefore contributing to maintain good oral hygiene. However, practicing appropriate oral hygiene measures & brushing technique is of utmost importance in maintaining good oral health than the effectiveness of various ingredients in the toothpastes used.
