The honorary report ‘Active Ageing Index in non-European countries’ by Asghar Zaidi was held on April 16, 2021.

The online report by Asghar Zaidi was chaired by Deputy Director of HSE Institute for Social Policy Oksana Sinyavskaya.

The term active ageing was first articulated in the Active ageing: a policy framework (WHO) in 2002, which described “the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance the quality of life as people age”. The core principles of active ageing were incorporated into the 2002 Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing. The Active Aging Index (AAI), which measures the untapped potential of older people for active and healthy ageing, was developed in 2012 for the European countries. However, the need to measure the potential for active ageing also exists in non-European countries. The ability to calculate the AAI using a unified methodology allows cross-country comparison. This lecture was dedicated to the possibilities and specifics of measuring active ageing in non-European countries. It discussed the features of the assessment and the directions of AAI adaptation in non-European countries. It also presented the AAI results for non-European countries and compared the European and non-European countries.

Asghar Zaidi is Vice Chancellor of the Government College University Lahore, Associate Professorial Fellow at the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing and Visiting Professor at the London School and Political Science. Since 2012, under the aegis of the European Commissionand UNECE, he has led the team that developed and implemented the international Active Ageing Index (AAI) in European countries.In recent years, Prof. Zaidi has been actively engaged in the adaptation of this index in countries outside Europe — Vietnam, China, Azerbaijan and some others. His research interests include measurement of active and healthy aging, the wellbeing of older persons and those with disabilities, and the study of aging and the elderly.

Special Round Table ‘Measuring of Universal Competencies as the Results of Higher Education’ was held on April 19, 2021.

At the online round table В-19-5 chaired by Academic Supervisor of HSE Institute of Education Viktor Bolotov, Director of HSE Centre for Psychometric and Measurement in Education Elena Kardanova and Senior Research Fellow of HSE Institute of Education Pavel Sorokon, presented the report “Measuring of Universal Competencies as an Outcome of Higher Education”. The team of authors comprised Svetlana Avdeeva, Pauline Gass, Elena Kardanova, Yulia Koreshnikova, Alyona Kulikova, Ekaterina Orel, Taras Paschenko and Pavel Sorokin. The Co-Chairs of the series editorial board are Candidate of economic sciences, HSE Rector Yaroslav Kuzminov and Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Academic Supervisor of the Institute of Education Isak Froumin.

The report focuses on the issue of evaluation and formation of universal competencies in higher education, complex constructs (critical thinking, creativity, communication, teamwork, etc.), which are associated with the person's success in various professional and life fields. Based on the analysis of the experience that the world community has accumulated in the field of evaluating universal competencies, we propose Evidence-Centered Design as a promising approach to their measuring. The issue of evaluation of universal competencies is directly related to the issues of their formation and implementation in the educational process. By the example of critical thinking the report demonstrates the difficulties and challenges faced by the educational community along the way. The report concludes with a section on the opportunities that the evaluation of universal competencies provides for universities.
