In fact it was the only organisation that got this opportunity. For the student voice to be realistic, constructive and responsible student organisations must be able to evolve and improve over time. Students are only students for a few years, which is a challenge to student influence. But organisations have a longer perspective than individual students have. This creates continuity and ensures that opinions persist long enough to have an impact.
Quality is at the centre of any debate on higher education today.
The forces of globalisation are experienced in all parts of society. With increasing mobility of students and labour, globalisation will drive development of quality in education. When higher education is expanded quickly with new institutions, study programs becoming more diversified with respect to subjects covered and the academic level. Students from non-traditional backgrounds are increasingly entering higher education. This diversity of higher education is very important and must accelerate.
