First Graduates at Paris-Sorbonne- Abu Dhabi University by Milota Sidorova

Speaking of Sorbonne University, maybe you know it's been established before 12 century and it is considered among the oldest universities in the world. But maybe you don't know when you speak of Sorbonne University you're speaking of 13 Paris Universities joined under one label. It is for example René Descartes University (Paris I), Chancellery, the New Sorbonne (Paris III), Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV).. Four of them are sharing the same Sorbonne building , three of them kept Sorbonne in their names as a part of image. Speaking of Sorbonne, this university network has been extended by distant relative university in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. In 2006, new univer! sity Paris-Sorbonne- Abu Dhabi University was established, offering the highest qualities of French qualities. No doubt it's been the question of prestige, but starting new University in French language was a bit risky step. Most of the applicationers didn't meet language requirement, so they had to participate on one or two year intensive French course to be able to get there. But four years later, this university is celebrating its first bachelors. Their number is not that high – the whole number of students is around 500 although the capacity should cover about 2,000. The degree they receive is French degree and it is accepted in outer world. Paris-Sorbonne-Abu Dhabi University offers mostly Philosophy and Fine Arts based programs such as History, History of art and Archeology, Geography and Urban Planning, Arabic Studies, Philosophy and Sociology, Marketing and Communication, Law, Economics and Management, Political Sciences, French Literature or Language and Busi! ness programs.

Glupavite se srekjni by Barbora Misakova

Baš včera im kažuvav na moite roditeli za studiite na koledzot i za nivnite užasni uslovi ovde vo Slovačka. Dodeka go izrazuvav moeto nezadovolstvo od nivniot kvalitet, moite roditeli si gi vratija spomenite nazad vo socijalizmot, koga da se položi ispit ne bilo tolku lesno kako denes. Učenjeto ne bilo mačkina kašlica kako denes i nikoj ne ti daval ništo za dzabe. Ako nemavte inteligencija i ne bevte vo možnost efektivno da go koristite vašiot mozok, ne moževte da položite. Dodeka za vreme na 70-te godini, da se dobie diploma bilo retkost, denes toa ne e ništo posebno. Sekoj ima diploma, no najta! 82;noto nešto e toa što ne sekoj navistina ja zaslužuva! Kako što veli Marti Nemko, ekspert za kariera i obrazovanie koj porano predaval na Univerzitetot na Kalifornija, Berkli, "postoi golem pritisok da se forsiraat decata." I toa e pričinata zošto ova parče hartija ništo ne znači denes i kade na drugo mesto najdobro se izrazuva, ako ne na vašata plata? Dodeka kvalitetot na obrazovanie rapidno opagja, cenata što treba da ja plakjaat studentite za nego, od druga strana, raste prebrzo. Kako što pokažuva amerikanskata statistika, dve tretini od site studenti gi napuštaat koledzite so ogromni zaemi. No, koga kje dojde red tie da rabotat, nivnata cena e niska, zatoa što diplomata od nivniot skap koledz ne vredi na pazarot na trud. Postoi edna pogovorka vo Slovačka koja veli: "Glupavite se srekjni." I jas sum sé povekje ubeden deka toa e sveta vistina!

Hlúpi majú šťastie... by Barbora Misakova

Práve včera som sa rozprávala s rodičmi o vysokoškolskom štúdiu a o hroznej kvalite, ktorú na Slovensku má. Kým ja som vyjadrovala svoje nekonečné sklamanie a pohŕdanie vysokoškolským systémom, moji rodičia sa vracali späť do čias socializmu a spomínali na obdobie, kedy ukončenie vysokej školy nebolo až také jednoduché. Vyštudovať na univerzite nebola veru hračka, pretože vtedy vám nedal nikto nič zadarmo! Ak ste neboli dostatočne inteligentní a nevedeli efektívne používať svoj mozog a l! ogické myslenie, mali ste skrátka smolu. Kým počas 70. rokov 20. storočia bol bakalársky titul raritou, dnes je to práve naopak. Bakalárom je dnes takmer každý! No azda najhoršia na tom je skutočnosť, že len málokto si ho skutočne zaslúži. A to je jeden z hlavných dôvodov, prečo cena akéhokoľvek titulu či vyššieho vzdelania na trhu práce klesá. Ako povedal Marty Nemko, kariérny a vzdelávací expert, ktorý učil na U.C. Berkley Graduate School of Education, v súčasnosti je „obrovský nátlak, pretlačiť deti cez toto štúdium.“ Aj preto dnes už tento kus papiera nič neznamená. A kde inde sa to najlepšie prejaví, ako na výške vášho platu? Kým však kvalita vzdelania rapídne klesá, cena, ktorú musia &#! 353;tudenti za ňu platiť, na druhej strane neust! 5;le ras tie. Ako ukazujú výsledky mnohých amerických štatistík, až dve tretiny všetkých študentov opúšťajú univerzitu zadlžení. Avšak ani po nástupe do práce, nie je ich hodnota o nič vyššia. Cena, za ktorú si vykúpili vysokoškolský titul mnohonásobne prevyšuje ich skutočnú hodnotu na pracovnom trhu. A to je viac ako smutné! Je to priam tragikomické! U nás na Slovensku sa hovorí, že hlúpi majú šťastie, a ja tomu začínam čoraz viac veriť!

Stupid ones are lucky ones by Barbora Misakova

It was just yesterday what I was talking to my parents about college studies and its terrible condition here in Slovakia. While I was expressing my disappointment from its quality, my parents were casting their minds back to the socialism when pass the exam was not so easy as today. Studying wasn’t piece of cake as it is today, as there was no one who would give you anything for free. If you didn’t have intelligence and you were not able to effectively use your brain, you couldn’t pass it. While during 1970s was bachelor’s degree a rarity, today it is nothing special. Everyone has a bachelor’s degree, but the saddest thing on it is that not eve! ryone really deserves it! As Marty Nemko, a career and education expert who used to teach at U.C. Berkley’s Graduate School of Education, says: “There is tremendous pressure to push kids through.” And that is the reason why this piece of paper means nothing today and where else does it show the best as on your salary? While quality of education is falling rapidly, the price students have to pay for it is on the other hand growing too fast. As the US statistics show, two-thirds of all students leave college with outstanding loans. But when they get to the work world their price is low as their expensive college degree is actually worthless in job market. There is such a saying here in Slovakia that says: “Stupid ones are lucky ones.” And I am still more and more confident, it is a holy truth!

Kratenjata vo koledzite go otežnaa diplomiranjeto by Magdalena Rosova

Ne gi zgolemuva trošocite samo povisokata školarina na koledz. Koledzite vo SAD se pritisnati da otpuštat nekoi od svoite profesori i da eliminiraat nekolku klasi. Toa im otežnuva na studentite da odat na kursevite i e poteško da si obezbedat stepen. Studentite moraat da bidat mnogu brzi za da vlezat na časovite, mnogu od niv stojat vo zadnite redovi na učilnicite ili duri i stojat nadvor ili pak stojat najblisku do vratata za da go slušnat predavanjeto. Golemite kratenja na budzetite za koledzite predizvikaa odložuvanje na studiite za mnogumina i toa znači povekje vreme i isto taka povekje pari. Časovite na fakulteti! ute se celosno zafateni i studentite definitivno nema da diplomiraat navreme i tie se nadevaat deka voopsto kje diplomiraat. Instruktori na skrateno rabotno vreme bea prvite koi dobija otkazi i taka, nema dovolno instruktori koi bi predavale na glavnite časovi so početno nivo. Suštinskite časovi se isto taka masovno poseteni od studentite od povisokite godini i pomladite studenti ne možat voopšto da vlezat. Nekoi od povisokite klasovi se soočuvaat duri i so pogolema teškotija, nekoi od nivnite časovi bea celosno ukinati, zašto ne bile popularni. Federalna studija na diplomci od 1999-2000 godina pokaža deka na studentite im trebalo vo prosek po 4.5 godini za da ja zarabotat diplomata. No, ovoj broj definitivno kje se zgolemi. Nekoi koledzi odlucija da go zgolemat brojot na nekoi klasovi, no ponudija nekolku sekcii. Četiristotini student na Sentral Oregon Komjuniti Koledz vo Bend, nemaat nitu eden kurs što go ba! raa i ne možat da napravat ništo drugo, osven da po&! #269;eka at do narednata esen. Dvaeset i tri kampusi vo Kalifornija ja zgolemija školarinata za povekje od 30 procenti i otpuštija stotici profesori i skratija iljadnici sekcii, iako gi zgolemija klasovite. Nekoi eksperti raspravaat deka parite ne se edinstveniot problem, no studentite velat deka nemaat izbor.
