The aim of the study was to explore the career aspirations of 547 university students of undergraduate management program in Delhi and NCR of India so that the future career development activities could be aligned better. In the first phase, the impact of gender behaviour on level and area of career aspiration was studied whereas in the second phase, influencing factors effecting career aspirations of youth were studied. In the third phase of the study, an effort to identify the volume of focus of the students towards entrepreneurship as career choice was done. In the last phase, relationship between level of career aspirations and academic performance of students was studied. Statistical methods like central tendency, correlations, and inferential statistics were used to understand relationships between study variables. There was a minimal positive relationship between career level expectations and student's academic performance. The findings suggest that students have high career ambitions but are not at a reasonable level and also showed relatively low academic performance. Policymakers can develop the policies to create conducive environment for the youth of the country and their aspirations.

The role of facility management (FM) is imperative in providing good and reliable services and supporting the core business of an organisation including a university. This research aims at examining FM services in two universities, one in Europe (Uni E) and another in Asia (Uni A). From past research, the categories and factors of FM services were identified and a questionnaire was developed. The survey consists of questions related to the expected frequencies and the satisfaction of the services. Frequencies of services in Uni E are according to or higher than the expectations, while Uni A needed to increase the frequency of five services to fulfil the expectations. In terms of satisfaction, a few services were found to be below the satisfaction level in each university. A comparison test found some significantly different satisfactions between the two universities and, interestingly, not all with higher satisfaction for Uni E as expected.

The success of any educational system depends on how it is organised and the extent to which the stakeholders especially teachers accept and own it. The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers' (N = 58) professional identities using a qualitative approach where teachers were asked to produce a pen portrait of the perceived identities using open-ended questionnaires and drawings. The result from this study shows that the individual teacher's personal characteristics are paramount in shaping his/her personal identity. Teachers in our study generally described themselves as teachers who are working hard to help learners understand themselves and provide effective learning opportunities for students to excel and develop inherent capabilities. It is a great asset to have teachers who see themselves as agents of change rather than custodians of knowledge. It is important to have reflective dialogues with teachers to understand these personal characteristics that shape their identities.
