Comparative Study of Higher Education Systems in Greece, France and Denmark: Public expenditures, as a percentage of GDP, and the world rankings of their Universities.
Summary:
The aim of this diploma thesis is to demonstrate the benefits of investing in tertiary education by the state through public spending and, vice versa, how the funding provided through the state budget contributes to the development of their Universities and their entry into the most important rankings of the best Universities worldwide.
In Chapter Two, we will study the link between higher education and the economic development of a country, and how it is linked to unemployment and economic growth. The data to be used are provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Center for the Development of Educational Policy of the GSEE and the European Statistical Office (EUROSTAT).
In order to study whether University funding is linked to the number of top universities in the world ranking of Universities, we will use the examples of Greece, France and Denmark. In Section Three we will explain why we chose these countries. As we will see, they are examples of countries where Tertiary Education is largely funded by the state budget. Initially, we will study the education system with regard to Tertiary Education, and wherever is necessary, we will proceed by providing some additional information on their secondary education.
Then on the Fourth Chapter, we will proceed to a comparative study of these in order to link the funding received by their Universities to the number of Universities that they have enlisted to the 500 Best Universities in the world. First, we will examine how each country finances its higher education, and then we will proceed look at the world class universities lists and we will try to see how they are connected. The rankings to be studied are Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World Universities, World University Higher Education Awards (TIMES), and World University Academic Rankings (Shanghai / ARWU) in 2017. We chose these Universities due to them being widespread and reliable worldwide.
Finally, we will try to link the percentage of GDP given to each of the three countries by the number of Universities each of them have into the three lists in order to confirm our hypothesis that a country's economic development and Tertiary Education its associated. Therefore, in the form of public spending for higher education in a state, is an investment effort on its human capital, its economic development, and their economy in general.
