Purpose of the study: This study aimed to explore the benefits and threats of accepting diversity and examine the level of intercultural tolerance in higher educational institutions (HEIs). Methodology: This is an empirical study conducted through quantitative methods based on survey research. Document analysis technique was used to verify the diversity in the target population, i.e., higher educational institutions (HEIs). The researcher collected data from 191 students from 12 universities in non-contrived settings. Principal Findings: The results indicated that overall, students have a positive attitude towards diversity except for the job market and social environment for minority groups which scored very low. Similarly, intergroup anxiety and productivity loss were found to be threats caused by diversity in HEIs. Regarding tolerance, most respondents were optimistic about their positive behaviour towards other cultures and ethnicities. Application of this study: This study would benefit university presidents, chancellors, and other high-level administrators. This research will also help explain why people are prejudiced in today's multiethnic society. This study is conducted for higher educational institutes. The novelty of this study: The study recommends that while developing a curriculum, it is essential to incorporate learning materials related to accepting diversity and creating tolerant behaviours, which can lead to a healthy and inclusive learning environment.

“…Elements for dialog and the construction of knowledge need to be harmonized through demands for performance and self-financing (Clegg, 2008;Neelaveni & Manimaran, 2015), and with the formation of an identity oriented towards regulatory systems (Macfarlane, 2011;Archer, 2008;Carvalho, 2013;Argon, 2015). This context transformation has generated internal changes in institutions that conflict with generally homogenized policies, and have failed to articulate the individual dynamics of each institution (Suasnabar, 2001).…”

SummaryHigher Education is under pressure to account for their performance, and this is affecting the academic identity. Chile is a good example because it has had one of the most studied higher education reforms, due to both its scope, and the context in which it occurred. The result is the coexistence of two discourses, the "academy" and the "entrepreneurial university", that have created an academic identity characterized by the ways in which the speeches are appropriated, and affected the development of higher education. This study addresses the narrative of the aforementioned academic identity through the analysis of interpretative repertoires and subject positions, which construct an identity that negotiates between these discourses. The effects of academics perceptions of university identity are relevant to establish the core values in higher education.

In this study, a learning area in social studies curriculum called "Groups, institutions and social organizations" was used. It can be seen that an important role for teachers in a social studies programme is to benefit from non-governmental organizations. The aim of this study is to investigate primary school teacher candidates' social metaphors to describe the concept of non-governmental organizations. In the study, phenomonology method is used which is widely employed in a qualitative research approach. The participants of the study are 300 teacher candidates attending Afyon Kocatepe University, Faculty of Education. The Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) Metaphor Form is used to collect data. The findings obtained show that the participants developed 47 NGO-related metaphors.
