Description / Abstract
Jayme Hammelwright has provided a clear and accurate description of the Lisbon Agenda and the Bologna Process. As she reports, both of these initiatives seek to unify and coordinate the various systems of higher education in the emerging united Europe: The purposes are to codify a three-cycle degree system which allows for transference between programs regardless of which nation earlier studies have been pursued. Prior to the Lisbon and Bologna dynamics, this was problematic to institutions such as European Nazarene Bible College (now European Nazarene College, or EuNC) located in Busingen, Germany, which not only served students from throughout Europe, but also allowed for curricular design that enabled its students to gain an American Baccalaureate degree through partnership with Mid America College (now University). I, as former dean of EuNC, recall assessing transcripts from various nations and qualification levels and the inherent desire for both fairness in placement and for transparency so that students sensed the fairness of the evaluation. In a few cases, the perceived fairness was the larger issue, for some were convinced that their own qualifications and the systems of their home country exceeded those of other nations including other parts of Europe. These issues have faced other institutions serving the total European Continent rather than a singular nation. A summary review of the literature concerning the Bologna Process is of interest. For instance, upon reading various articles one could argue, at length, on the relative merits of the Bologna process and the political agendas that gave rise to its development. Some would question whether the agenda were more about European political unity rather than educational quality. Others propose that the quality for which the process aspires may not respect the uniqueness of the strengths of each European educational system.
