It brings primary sources into every classroom and allows for more open and rapid communication between teachers and students.
For instance, The Open university, based in the United kingdom, and other models of distance learning have made education much more widely available.

The technical college has about 300 students. Networking between scientific institutes, research laboratories firms, and the technical college is an important organizational principle of the centre.

or the‘Bangalore University'with 250,000 students as well as a number of public research institutes covering various areas such as IT, artificial intelligence, production technologies, aircraft-/aerospace (Fromhold-Eisebith and Eisebith 1999).
Concerning science, there are several higher education institutes with about 35,000 students. The University of Bremen is the largest amongst them educating 22,000 students.
Furthermore, there are renowned nonuniversity based research institutes like a Max-Planck-Institute or a Fraunhofer Institute.
Apart from that, the increase of students and high qualified working population(‘cadres')made a shift from a traditional conservative dominated society to a modern, dynamic and visionary one possible.
although, Aalborg University is home to 12,500 students and employs more than 1, 700 people (Stoerring and Christensen 2004;

This also could refer to policies geared at retaining skilled graduates within a region or at educating them as in the example of Tuttlingen,
where the business school offers a specialised MBA programme tailor-made for the surgical instrument cluster. Soft knowledge-based factors include the existence of a technical culture on systemic level and people's attitude towards this as well as their professional and social skills and the existence of values supporting such a culture.

The Government will foster further student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by providing an additional $12 million to:
and increase student participation in‘Summer schools for STEM students',particularly for girls, disadvantaged and Indigenous students, including those living in regional and remote areas.
The United nations Organisation for Education, Science and Culture predicts that tertiary students studying abroad will more than double globally from 2. 5 million to as many as 8 million in 2020 (Altbach et al, 2009.

the Government is providing additional support to foster school students'interest and competency in STEM.
This will better equip students with job-relevant skills. Supplementing support for maths, science and computing in schools The Chief Scientist has identified a critical need for learning resources that will engage students in mathematics,
particularly to expand the pipeline of students taking advanced mathematics in senior school years. The Government will
therefore provide $7. 4 million to assist to develop and implement‘Mathematics by inquiry'.'These maths-in-schools programmes for primary and secondary school students will deliver innovative and engaging teaching
and learning resources to support implementation of the Australian Curriculum. Building on these maths education programmes, the Government will provide a further $3. 5 million to encourage the introduction of computer coding across different year levels in Australian schools.‘
The Government will also encourage greater student participation in summer schools for STEM students, particularly for girls,
disadvantaged and Indigenous students, including those living in regional and remote areas. This programme is designed to provide students with unique experiences in science
and mathematics, stimulating their passion for these learning areas. The Government will provide $600 000 to support travel and accommodation for participants, building on existing national summer schools for STEM.
Trialling a new, innovative pathway from education to work To help develop the next generation of Australian innovators and job-ready graduates,

he can skip ahead to the next lesson. If he has trouble, he can return to the beginning of the instruction.
Because the student is simulated in a situation identical to the one in which he will have to function,
