Editorial: One of the challenges when looking at

international higher education trends is that it

is both an industry and a social movement.

Any observer of social change in western

society over the past 40 years can see the

effect of Marxist lecturers compounding

their social agenda on society. The reason

many faith (religious) organisations sponsor

universities worldwide is they recognise the

importance of controlling higher education

institutions in the battle for society’s ideas.

On the commercial side the largest university

in the USA is the University of Phoenix

which is a commercial university. Its main

commercial rival is Kaplan which has degree

granting institutions in several countries. The

World Trade Organisation has declared

education is an industry under the trade rules.

In most industries as new technologies come

along they rapidly spread either decreasing

the cost consumers pay or develop the

quality of the product being offered. This

does not happen in education because the

non-commercial (faith, non-profit and

public) higher education sector is primarily

motivated by spreading ideas rather than

either offering the best price or best student

learning outcomes. Many societies

(correctly) see higher education as a right

their citizens should have access to. This

requires society to subsidise in some way

higher education. This subsidisation of

higher education tends to distort the

education market.

The main degree awarding bodies operations

in most countries are the public and major

non-profit universities and their agenda is the

spreading of ideas not necessarily the narrow

core education knowledge students enroll to

obtain. This slows up the change technology

brings to this industry and makes predicting

the future practical change very difficult.

Notice to Arabic Language

Graduates and Students

Dr Shaher Al Sukour is no longer an official of St

Clements University. Professor Dr Nazar Kareem

Dual Degree Programs St Clements Private Swiss University is registered in

a Swiss Canton as a private university. It is not

registered with the Swiss National Government and

as such like other private Swiss universities it is not

listed in the UNESCO World Higher Education

Database directory. All of its degrees are issued in

co-operation with professional qualification awarding

bodies.

In some countries Ministry of Education authorities

will only recognise degrees from universities listed

on the World Higher Education Database directory.

Thus if having a degree listed on the database is vital

for you it can be via our dual degree arrangements.

Professional Organisations News

Chartered Professional Bodies (UK and

USA)

A Royal Charter is a way of incorporating a body and

was originally the only way in the UK a body could

become incorporated. With the event of company

registrations the granting of Charters is now a rare

event. These days Royal Charters are only given to

professional bodies which represent a field of activity

which is unique and not covered by other

professional bodies and the incorporation by Charter

is in the public interest.

Once incorporated the body surrenders aspects of its

internal control to the Privy Council as Amendments

to the Charter and have to be approved by The Queen

in Council - in practical terms the Government. A

maximum of one or two bodies gain Chartered status

per year. In the USA the word “Charter” only needs

to be listed in the name of the professional body for it

to be called a Chartered Professional Body.

International Association of Business

Computing

This professional body (old website address

www.iabc.demon.co.uk) appears to have

disappeared. Would any reader with information

about the IABC please let the editor know at

[email protected]

Guild of Industrial, Commercial &

Institutional Accountants

This body was first incorporated in 1956 and

obtained a Federal Charter in 1961. It is designed to

recognise “in-house” accountants in various

Canadian organisations. It offers two grades of

membership, Associate and Accredited. Associate

membership is available to bookkeepers and students

studying an accounting program. Accredited

members must have graduated from an approved

course and have proven experience.

Catering Institute of Australia

Nearly twenty years ago the Catering Institute of

Australia collapsed, members just stopped being

asked for fees and other communications stopped. It

appears those who were members in Western

Australia kept operating and have re-established the

Institute there as the Catering Institute of Australia

(WA).

The Business Management Association

(UK)

The Business Management Association (UK) has re-

structured its membership grade five level.

Companion of the Business Management Association

(CBMA) membership is only available by invitation

from the BMA Council. Fellow of the Business

Management Association (FBMA) candidates must

have five years proven managerial experience and

passed the association’s final examination. Member

of the Business Management Association (MBMA)

candidates must have three years managerial

experience and have passed the final examination of

the association. Associate of the Business

Management Association (ABMA) candidates must

have one years proven managerial experience and

prove they have qualification suitable for the award.

Affiliate of the Business Management Association

candidates (AffBMA) candidates must either follow

a course of study in pursuit of an award or be

studying an equivalent award of another organisation.

They have also established the division of Certified

Business Management Accountant that recognises

both Fellow Certified and Member Certified levels.

Canadian Institute of Management

The Canadian Institute of Management has

announced that it recognises the credentials of

members of the Canadian Institute of Certified

Administrative Managers. This partnership

agreement between these two bodies should

strengthen both as Canadian professional bodies.

Institute of Manufacturing Accredits

University of Hertfordshire Degree

Programs

The Institute of Manufacturing has recently

accredited the University Hertfordshire Master of

Science in Manufacturing Management and Master

of Science in Operations & Supply Chain

Management degree programs. Graduates from these

programs will be entitled to Fellow membership

grade of the Institute. Once they have 2 years

manufacturing management experience they will be

eligible to apply for the Certified Manufacturing

Practitioner Award.
