Not by bread alone gathers essays on higher education, including some written
especially for this book. They cover three key areas: the missions of higher
education, public responsibility and qualifications. Together, these essays
spell out a view of higher education as a key factor in developing modern
societies built on the fundamental Council of Europe values of democracy,
human rights and the rule of law. They also underline the key role of higher
education in developing the ability of our societies to conduct intercultural
dialogue. To fulfil its role, higher education needs to prepare for
citizenship as well as for employment, for personal development as well as for
the development of a broad knowledge base. Our vision of higher education and
its multiple purposes must be reflected in the way we view qualifications. We
also need to take a close look at how the public responsibility for higher
education and research can best be exercised in a society with many actors,
all of which have their own legitimate agendas. In this situation, public
authorities have an overall responsibility for coherent education policies.
