In doing so it touches upon the very foundation of how and in which socio-political environment educational systems and higher education institutions work nowadays.  \nEducation is a core institution of our society and one of the main pillars of modern civilisation. It plays a central role in social and economic development, democratic empowerment and the advancement of the general well-being of societies. ESU believes that open access to all levels of education is the cornerstone of a socially, culturally and democratically inclusive society, and a prerequisite for individual and societal development and well-being. ESU sees higher education as a human right, which is guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. How education is seen in society, how it is funded and how it is governed are tightly interlinked areas.  \n1  \nEuropean Students’ Union (ESU)  \nFighting for students’ rights since 1982 [www.esu-online.org](www.esu-online.org)  \nPublic Responsibility of Higher Education  \nFundamental Values  \nESU recognises common fundamental values, such as academic freedom, institutional autonomy, participation of students and staff as well as a clear commitment to human rights and democracy as the foundation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and as a prerequisite for an educational system that aims at contributing to the forthcoming of our society as a whole. Even though the EHEA member states keep reaffirming their devotion to honour these values 1 , the  \nreality in Europe looks different. In times of emerging antidemocratic forces gaining more and more power all over the continent, the need for an independent monitoring mechanism to oversee member states’ compliance with the indicated values is evident. These values are crucial to protect and ensure that students’ rights such as access to quality public education, freedom of worship, and personal safety.  \nESU firmly believes that there is a need to develop a monitoring framework on values in the EHEA, taking into account both de jure and de facto realities linked to protecting and promoting fundamental values. Such an observatory should be composed of experts from independent civil society organisations with a credible record linked to monitoring academic freedom and human rights.2 Member states continuously undermining the fundamental values of the Bologna Process need to be confronted with consequences for their actions.","cbCaijE0m3orgJ7g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijE0m3orgJ7g","pdf",291190,26,"English","# Introduction\n# Public Responsibility of Higher Education\n## Fundamental Values\n## Institutional Autonomy and Academic Freedom\n# Financing of Higher Education\n## Financing of Higher Education\n## The Funding Gap\n## Optimisation and Performance Based Funding\n## Education free of tuition fees\n# Governance of Higher Education\n## Students Participation\n## Working conditions of academic staff\n## Committees and Ombudspersons\n## Leadership, Intersectionality and Training\n# Annexes\n## Annex 1: Statement on Commodification\n## Annex 2: Statement on Sustainability\n## Annex 3: Statement on quality and fair Internships","[{\"question\":\"What fundamental values does the paper highlight for higher education responsibility?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights academic freedom, institutional autonomy, student and staff participation, and a commitment to human rights and democracy as foundations for the European Higher Education Area.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper address financing challenges in higher education?\",\"answer\":\"It discusses the funding gap, proposes optimisation of funding for higher education institutions, and covers performance based funding and the idea of education free of tuition fees.\"},{\"question\":\"What governance issues are covered regarding students and academic staff?\",\"answer\":\"It covers students participation, working conditions of academic staff, the role of committees and ombudspersons, and leadership with training and intersectionality considerations.\"}]","2020 Policy Paper on Public Responsibility, Financing and Governance of Higher Education | PDF",1792047928,66]
