Yojana Sharma reports on the global move away from raising literacy levels and basic access, towards skills required by the workforce to promote economic growth. Two reports by Alya Mishra on the New Delhi r ape case that rocked India in late 2012 show that it may well prove to be the beginning of a long overdue effort to support and strengthen the position of women at Indian universities.

In Commentary, Glen A Jones argues that 2012 was a year of living dangerously for higher education in Ontario, Canada, as a new minister pushed for reform.

And from Europe, Anne Corbett asks whether the 30-year-old European Students’ Union can confront the democratic deficit at the heart of the European Higher Education Area.
