“…Katircioglu (2009) found a long-run equilibrium relationship between higher education and economic growth and a direct causality relationship from higher education to economic growth in North Cyprus. The role of the higher education as a determinant of the economic growth in Taiwan is analysed in Lin (2004) for the 1965-2000 period. The author shows that higher education provided a positive and significant effect on Taiwan's economic development.…”

Although there is a strong theoretical framework for the economic growth and its relationship with education, the empirical evidence of this relationship is rather scarce. In this paper we investigated the causality and the long-run relationship between economic growth and higher education in the Czech Republic and Romania, using data series for 1980-2013 period. We used a VECM to analyse the long-run relationship between higher education and economic growth and Granger methodology to test the causality between variables. The results showed that higher education has an important positive effect on economic growth, although the impact level of the higher education on economic growth is different in the two countries. We also showed that there is a causality relationship that goes from higher education to economic growth for both countries.

“…Many studies indicate a close link between higher education, technological innovation, and improvements in R&D capabilities (Porter et al, 2002;Lederman and Maloney, 2003;King, 2004;Lin, 2004). The knowledge generation effect is clearly addressed in these studies.…”

This study aims to investigate whether higher education can work as a vehicle of empowerment to eradicate poverty. It is based on fieldwork research at the Great Lakes Regional College (GLRC) in the Kanungu district of Uganda. The results depict a complex socio-economic image produced by poverty reduction policies. It is surprising, interrelated with various factors, and thus difficult to simply categorize as positive or negative. In the eyes of the institution's founder, achieving poverty relief with regard to alumni career development remains a significant challenge. In fact, the school's intended goal of creating a better future for college students is undermined by environmental constraints. With regard to the impact that the GLRC has had on the surrounding community since its establishment, this study's findings indicate that simply providing higher education is insufficient to achieve community development. However, the GLRC's role goes beyond that of a simple educational institution. Because it attracts an external population, the college serves as a multifunctional institution that triggers community changes at various levels. Taken together, this study offers potential directions for higher education institutions that target community development, and recommends a broad functional approach for such institutions.

“…Additionally, numerous studies suggest a close correlation between higher education and economic development (Shaw, & Allison, 1999;Lin, 2004;De Meulemeester, & Rochat, 1995). And Bloom, Canning, &Chan's (2006) study pointed out that the investment in education for developing countries has mainly focused on primary and secondary education.…”

This paper explores how Learning 2.0 in a knowledge economy can promote African higher education. It uses a case study of the pilot project in Zambia. The paper begins by showing that Learning 2.0 used in a knowledge economy is changing the nature of learning and providing new possibilities for learning. As higher education is a key factor for national development in knowledge economy, this is important for Africa. But Africa has few resources to expand quality tertiary education. An innovative project in Zambia uses Learning 2.0 to overcome some of these challenges and deliver quality higher education. The article shows how the project works and discusses some of the remaining challenges. In conclusion, the concept of the project presents that elements of the learning 2.0 in the knowledge economy can help to spread the higher education in developing countries.
