Webometrics Ranking Web of World Universities

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 08:03 AM PDT


What a great news for three Malaysia's IPTA where they have made it to the top 500 out of 12,000 universities ranked in the Webometrics Ranking Web of World Universities. The list of universities in the tops 500 are as follows :

  • Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (419),
  • Universiti Sains Malaysia (428),
  • Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (462).

For record, this is the first time that Malaysian varsities have entered the top 500 since the ranking's inception in 2004. As usual, American universities dominate the Webo­metrics ranking, with the top five univer­­sities being the Massachusetts Institute of Techno­logy, Harvard University, Stanford Uni­versity, Cornell University, and the University of California, Berkeley.

The Webo­metrics ranking was produced by the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group which is part of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Spain. It aims in encouraging universities to have a better web presence and researchers to publish more scientific content on the Internet. The main indicators used to analyse university web presence are the size or number of web pages recovered from search engines, visibility, number of rich files available and the number of citations found in Google Scholar.

The rankings are published every six months and around 20,000 higher education institutions worldwide were surveyed.

Gov’t To Place More Guards At Schools To Enhance Students’ Safety

Posted: 02 Aug 2011 08:00 AM PDT


The government will place at least two security guards at each of the nation’s elementary, middle and high schools gradually by 2014 as part of a plan to better protect students from violence, bullying and sex crimes at schools, the Prime Minister’s Office said Friday.

The plan was announced during a government policy coordination meeting presided over by Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik, Yonhap news agency reported.

Visitors to elementary schools will also be required to fill out forms and submit their personal identification cards beginning in the second half of this year, the office said.

Currently, each school has only one paid civilian security guard or a volunteer guard.

To beef up schools’ safety, the government will place at least two civilian security guards at 1,600 schools in vulnerable areas by the first half of next year, the office said, adding that the number of schools will increase to 4,418 by 2014.

In addition, all police stations will devote at least one officer to school violence prevention, the government said.

Students will receive anti-violence and anti-bullying education at least once per semester, it said.

The plan also calls for increasing the number of elementary schools offering night-time care services to 7,000, with the hope of benefiting families with working mothers or low incomes.

In addition, schools will strengthen their counselling services for bullies and their victims.
