| description | THE visit to Taipei 101, the world's highest building, was more than just a touristic event. The tower, that
stands at 508m, elegantly pierces through the skyline of the Taiwanese metropolis.

be done.
In higher education, too, there are problems.

Conference on Technological and Professional Higher Education recently, some of the major problems sound
familiar.
Among others, student quality is said to be deteriorating, although the qual ity of teachers is perceived to be
getting better.
There is also the issue of "diploma inflation" where graduates who harbour higher expectations do not yield
higher quality. |
