Final thoughts… • For multiple generations, education has successfully supported growth, economic development, and social change. • While the industry has never faced the magnitude of change and disruption it does today, the challenges also come with tremendous opportunity for institutions and their leaders to find new ways to deliver more value to students and the workforce. • By capitalisingon new technologies and collaborating with industry forces to build a new model of education and create a supportive ecosystem, we can shape a new way of working and learning. • It’s time to reinvigorate our education system so students are adequately prepared to succeed in an evolving world. • Ref: Michael D.
