“…In fact, a face-to-face meeting between professors and their students allows them to perform outstanding jobs and helps them create and innovate, enabling the university to perform vital functions including the acquisition of new knowledge, making use of the previous findings, and leading the new generation. A university that adapts itself to the new competitive environment depending on its points of strength and adopts new techniques will have a brilliant future (Al-Youbi et al, 2021). In all countries of the world, sustainable economic development is facing challenges imposed by modern developments caused by globalization and fierce competition.…”

In recent decades, Ghana has made great strides in developing higher education, which has transformed lives, reduced poverty, and boosted prosperity. Equity and access to higher education have sparked one of the most highly charged debates of the past decade. Thus, scholars and researchers have tried to gain a better understanding of Ghana's higher education development from a variety of perspectives. In today's world, tertiary education is an important concept that contributes to national development and economic growth. Ghana's higher education has achieved tremendous growth in various areas including, increased access and participation, a growing private sector, a transformative policy environment, and expansion of academic facilities. However, in the development of higher education, barriers to access, inequalities in access to quality education, and unequal participation among women and minorities persist. Therefore, Ghana lags behind in innovation, industrialization, and national development, despite commendable progress in higher education. In this regard, this study answered four questions. ( 1) What is the significance of enhanced access and equity to higher education and university education to innovation and industrialization in Ghana? (2) What is the extent to which policies have made it possible to ensure access and equity to higher education in Ghana? (3) What are the factors compromising access to the higher education system in Ghana? (4) What are the possible options for addressing equity and access challenges in higher education? A qualitative research approach, entailing analysis of documents and publications was conducted. The documentary review provided a quick way of coming up with the research findings. Particular attention was on examining the relevance of enhanced access to higher education in Ghana's developmental needs. The data were analysed thematically, with the findings presented in line with the research questions. The study showed that universities' role comes into action as a basic resource with their human assets and research institutions capable of producing knowledge, creativity, and innovation represented in researchers, research centres, and scientific departments. Universities are considered a resource of economic development and the most important inputs of production processes for the knowledge-based economy in this century. Education policy points out that higher education shall be made equally accessible to all, on the basis of capacity, by every appropriate means, and in particular, by the progressive introduction of free education. Access is compromised by a number of factors, including brain drain, resource inadequacies, and delays in decisionmaking. The study recommended that the government of Ghana should create a good environment for industrial growth through the provision of funds to universities for research and development. Furthermore, many organizations need to work to close the gaps as a way to achieve education equity. There is also a need for the universiti...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of responsible leadership on employee creativity. It has been pointed out that employee creativity has been examined from different leadership styles but rarely from a responsive leadership perspective. It also examines the moderating role of perceived organizational support between responsible leadership and employee creativity. This research is based on social exchange and social learning theories. The data were collected from administrative employees of public sector higher education institutions (universities) of Punjab province, Pakistan and analyzed using SPSS and SMERT PLS 4. The measurement model ensures the validity and reliability of the focal constructs. The results show that responsible leadership has a significant effect on employee creativity. The results also found that perceived organizational support moderates the relationship between responsible leadership and employee creativity. The current research adds to leadership knowledge by creating an integrated framework that increases understanding of how responsible leadership is more effective in providing resources for employee creativity in a public sector higher education institution.

The COVID-19 has put higher education institutions in a new situation and identified bottlenecks in the financial structure of institutions and education systems in general. However, for Ukrainian universities, this situation can be seen as an opportunity to achieve financial autonomy. This study is devoted to the consideration of a possible tool for the financial autonomy of Ukrainian classical universities, most of which are state-funded. The paper considers the methodology of a possible tool for the accumulation of external financing – the endowment fund. The case analysis and analytical consideration of world practice are applied. As a result, a model for financing the university in its transition to the innovation and entrepreneurship model is proposed as the chain “endowment fund – development of start-ups”. This example can become the basis of the road map for other national HEIs, as well as the practice of wider use in the field of higher education. However, despite most of the national classical universities have declared a course to an innovative development, which further raised the necessity of external funding, top management and general economic situation require more attention. As this transition to a new model of the university is taking place along with the financial stabilization and under economic and social upheavals, the formation of a new culture of online communication is necessary. Thus, the proposed model is the practical guideline of possible decisions but mostly the start-point for further discussion and research. AcknowledgmentThis paper is done in the framework of the grant project “Financial stabilization of classical universities in the context of the global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic” funded by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine “Science for Human Security and Society” (2020-2021).
