Post Pandemic Paradigm The shift in Higher Education: A New Global Perspective
Post Pandemic Paradigm The shift in Higher Education: A New Global Perspective
We are witnessing
that COVID-19 has led to and amplified the concerns and actions of universities
across the world by reshaping and challenging their interests into guaranteeing
short-term operational continuity, while ensuring long-term institutional
viability. Very few people would have predicted in actuality that universities
would face such a paradigm shift in the education and learning system– with the
predominant virtual teaching and remote working bursting onto the scene – as a the consequence of the global pandemic.
v The legal
regulatory bodies were finding a formula that would allow to measure- learning
outcomes for education purpose and attainment in relation to graduate
employability and distribute public money in accordance with this criterion.
v Many of the
universities were assuming a more stalwart and a proactive commitment to the
Sustainable Development Goals, and they were additionally taking a firmer
stance on helping for the economic development of their regional settings.
v Some parties pushed
for universities for encouraging competence training as well as to create
education programmes for working class adults.
v Finally, within
university campuses, there was a concern regarding the well-being of the
faculty and the students (including their nutrition, mental and physical
health, hygiene, sanitization etc.).
COVID-19 has changed everything, and this list was no exception. New and more pressing goals were added as priorities. Taking advantage of the virus-induced virtual culture for universities and colleges will require both imaginative and creative implementation, as well as an innovative mentality and an open leadership, as we still have so much to learn about our disturbing and confusing short-term and mid-term future.
However, we have to
keep in mind that respecting physical distancing, being able to deliver
teaching and research quality in a virtual or semi-virtual environment, will
not be the same as the previous traditional system (vivid college and
residential campus life experience).
Universities were
and will always be the founding pillar of higher education and the necessary
lens for envisioning the student’s future. Despite the impact of the huge
pandemic (COVID-19) and the havoc it may wreak on their modus operandi.
However, We cannot afford to underestimate or forget the resilience
universities have shown throughout human history. However, in these coming
months or years, we will witness new, strategic and tactical measures coming,
as long as this pandemic continues on its unpredictable march, eroding peace,
control and comfort in the society.
