| Summary, etc | Simon Marginson, Brendan Cantwell, Daria Platonova and Anna Smolentseva (Eds.), Assessing the Contributions of Higher Education: Knowledge for a Disordered World. Edward Elgar Publishing, 2023, 322 pp. £90, ISBN 978-1-0353-0716-6 (Hardback). ‘The world is going to university.’ This was the headline of The Economist published on 28 March 2015. Globally, there has been a huge upsurge in enrollment in higher education. The byline in The Economist further stated: ‘Too little is known about whether it is worth it.’ Simon Marginson and his colleagues attempt to answer this predicament in their book Assessing the Contributions of Higher Education. Educators expect higher education institutions to develop individuals with holistic personalities; students and their parents are concerned about employment and earnings; governments focus on higher education’s contribution to economic growth and development, the employability of graduates and economic returns that the individuals and society get; community looks at universities for their contribution to community development; and the society as a whole expects higher education to produce responsible citizens, thinkers, philosophers, artists, statesmen, visionaries, and high-quality human capital. This book examines what higher education ‘does for persons, organisations, communities, cities, nations and the world …. What difference does it make and how do we know’ (p. 1).- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09722661241277664 |
