Two articles in the University World News pose important questions for the continuing evolution of higher education in Europe. The first article, focused on students' perception of the Bologna agreement, expressed concern about unevenness of implementation coupled with a lack of will in pursuing commitments to open access to greater numbers of students. The second article indicated that fees will remain stable but raised questions about the quality of French students' university experience. A new report compiled by students and French officials indicated that several issues needed to be addressed - "simplifying procedures and access to rights; improving students' conditions of living and studying; improving student healthcare; galvanizing campus life and student involvement."
Some European countries offer incentives for improved teaching and learning practices, a strategy that could address some of the quality concerns students expressed. This map shows the differences in strategies among those countries that have adopted this approach.
