This paper reviews a comparative analysis between the budgets and expenditures of the Turkish and British higher education systems, beside a view on those of the OECD countries. This paper intends to clarify Turkish higher education system’s difficulties in financial sustainability to provide required academic standards due to increasing costs and number of students versus the economic strength of significant actors such as the United Kingdom in the globalized competition. For this reason, this paper advocates cost advantages provided by the application of effective online education model to acquire financial sustainability clarifying the rise of digital universities by the 2030s. Methodology-. The study employs a literature review aiming to perform a comparative analysis on the financial structures of Turkish and British higher education systems. Moreover, OECD data were also reflected. The aim was to identify the possible difficulties of Turkish higher education system in financial sustainability to provide required academic standards in the competitive global area and find a contemporary solution. Findings- The analysis reveals that the Turkish higher education system have disadvantages in providing financial sustainability under the conditions of increasing costs as well as number of students in order to reach the required standards in the global league. Notably, it is clearly seen that efective application of online education strategy is an opportunity to balance revenues and expenditures in this way. As a matter of the fact, the effect of digital transformation era and the attitude of Generation Z students have already prepared this atmosphere. Conclusion-. Governments highly financed higher education systems after 20th Century. However, financial problems emerged due to increasing number of students and increasing costs. Eventhough the budgets had continuously been increased, Turkish higher education system have realized lower expenditures in the OECD average. Problems in financial sustainability to provide required academic standards have clearly been noticed in the global competitive atmosphere while compared with the example of the United Kingdom. Over the Covid19 crisis, universities successfully implemented hybrid education around the world increasing the effect of online systems forced by Generation Z’s perspective on embracing Digital Technologies. So, effective application of online education model appeared as a new opportunity for Turkish higher education system to provide financial sustainability decreasing costs and also efficiently compete in the global area. Indeed, blended learning in traditional universities and inevitable growth of digital higher education institutions named as University 5.0 will be seen after 2030s.Yayın Rising value of data in contemporary higher education(Suat Teker, 2024-12-31) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, SuatPurpose - The purpose of this study is to reflect the importance of effective use of data to predict and improve academic success as an essential criterion for assessing the quality of higher education institutions in the 21st Century. This paper intends to clarify importance of data and its evaluation components, namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), as integral part of Fifth Generation Universities (UNIVERSITY 5.0) era in the globalized competitive higher education sector. For this reason, this paper advocates “Rising Value of Data in Contemporary Higher Education” for the university of the new age. Methodology - The study employs a literature review aiming to reflect the new atmosphere and requirements in the higher education system based on selected topics. A comprehensive analysis on the game changer role of data in the higher education institutions was considered. The aim was to identify the difference created by effective use of data in higher education institutions to predict and improve academic success in the competitive academic environment of the new era. Findings - The analysis reveals that higher education institutions should understand the essential role of educational data with the expansion of digital revolution and rapid change in technologies in the 21st Century and design their strategies accordingly. Notably, it is clearly seen that the universities have not only effectively use educational data and its evaluation components namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) but also internalize the reality of their rising value to predict and improve academic success as well as creating a significant financial contribution to their development. As a matter of the fact, universities established many projects and effectively used their Learning Analytics (LA) tools. Besides, the emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of management operations. Conclusion - Findings may be concluded that universities need to apply the effective use of data particularly in the context of new era like Industry 5.0, Society 5.0 and University 5.0 to obtain academic success, which is considered as an essential criterion for assessing the quality of higher education institutions. Indeed, universities have to follow a data- driven culture as greater demands of universities already appeared for retention, completion and graduation rates of students to improve student success. As a matter of fact, the effective use of Educational Data Mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics (LA) is going on for the last two decades in higher education institutions. Indeed, Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are effective in data management as two impressive game changers for universities changing educational world from the financial perspective. For this reason, it may be argued that the effective use of data and its evaluation components, namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are considered as the integral part of Fifth Generation Universities (UNIVERSITY 5.0) era in the globalized competitive higher education sector of 21st Century.Yayın An innovative approach for higher education(Suat Teker, 2024-07-30) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, SuatPurpose- The purpose of this study is to reflect the position of higher education institutions facing to adapt their strategies to the competitive priorities of the digital transformation era. This paper intends to clarify the new needs and demands of the prospective college students and the required response of universities to stay competitive in the new atmosphere. For this reason, this paper advocates “An Innovative Approach for Higher Education” model for the contemporary university of the new age. Methodology-. The study employs a literature review aiming to reflect the new needs and conditions in the higher education system based on selected topics. A comparative analysis of the needs of higher education institutions against the demands of college students and employers of the world of 2020s was considered. The aim was to analyze the required actions of the universities in the competitive environment concerning demands of the prospective college students including non-educational services and examine the potential for a model of An Innovative Approach for Higher Education. Findings-. The analysis reveals that higher education institutions should adapt themselves to the expectations of new student generations and design their strategies accordingly. Notably, it is clearly seen that the universities have not only be digitalized in their conventional noneducational services but also be ready to supply the demands and conditions of the competition in the digital transformation era. As a matter of the fact, over the Covid-19 crisis most universities keep increasing the use of hybrid model in all disciplines in their education system forced by the market demand. Furthermore, new concepts like industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 provide a basis for the University 5.0 model in parallel to the expectations of the new student generations. Under these circumstances, the results reveal that contemporary universities of this age should concentrate on such topics as understanding Generation Z’s perspective on embracing digital technologies, academic excellence, effective digital transformation in non-educational services and supplying employers’ demands to build a model of An Innovative Approach for Higher Education. Conclusion-. Findings may be concluded that students of digital age extend minor interest in conventional non-educational facilities. Indeed, their priorities have changed in parallel to technological advantages of digital transformation era and their value expectation from undergraduate education towards their career. As a matter of fact, the Covid-19 period brought a serious momentum towards a digital transformation of universities. For this reason, it may be argued that there may be no need for usual conventional non-educational components, and related elements for higher education in the near future. Instead, a significant need for a clear perception to meet the expectations of college students and prospected employers reflecting the new conditions of 21st Century is valid. For this reason, universities should rethink and redesign their structures. Indeed, blended learning in traditional universities and inevitable growth of digital higher education institutions named as University 5.0 will be seen after 2030s.
