It was a privilege to attend and speak at the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific in Macau 🇲🇴 . I’m inspired by the depth of insight shared by so many leaders in the field. Former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon set the tone with a powerful message on education as a foundation for a more equitable, sustainable world. His words reminded us all of the transformative power universities hold—not only to educate but to shape societies, economies, and the future itself. A few key themes that emerged from the summit: 1️⃣ Universities as Global Catalysts: Higher education is evolving beyond the classroom to impact communities on a global scale. Leaders discussed ways institutions can support economic and social development, particularly through partnerships with governments and industries. 2️⃣ Bridging Gaps Between Education and Workforce Needs: One of the biggest challenges remains aligning academic programs with real-world demands. We discussed concrete strategies to help universities stay responsive to job market shifts, ensuring students are prepared for future workforce realities rather than yesterday’s. 3️⃣ The Future of Learning is Lifelong: As career paths become more dynamic, continuous learning is no longer optional. Institutions are rethinking how they support alumni and mid-career professionals with opportunities to upskill, reskill, and stay competitive in their fields. Being part of these conversations was both a privilege and a call to action. Higher education has the opportunity—and responsibility—to adapt in ways that foster resilience and opportunity for all. I am looking forward to continuing these critical discussions and working together toward impactful change. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this summit unforgettable!

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate as a panellist at the EduDigiTrends Conference at Universidad El Bosque. We explored the future of higher education and how artificial intelligence and data analytics are revolutionizing this field. 🔍 One of the questions I was asked was about how we foresee these tools transforming education in the coming years. The use of data and artificial intelligence have fundamentally changed many industries, and higher education will be no exception. Here are my reflections, inspired by Simon Sinek's Golden Circle: 🎯 The why: The purpose will always remain the same. Empowering people through education to develop their potential, foster innovation, and positively impact society. 🤖 The how: Artificial intelligence will help us personalize and dynamize teaching, evolving towards more flexible education models focused on lifelong learning. 📈 The what: Data analysis allows us to understand what we should be teaching. With data, we can now identify what society, industry, and students need. At QS Quacquarelli Symonds 1Mentor Inc., we design solutions that address the what and the how while always keeping our why in mind. We develop analytical tools to understand the labor market's needs and AI solutions that facilitate personalized learning paths and promote continuous skill development. 💡 I am excited about the future of education and how people are coming together in conferences like this to contribute to this transformative change. Thank you, Jorge Alberto Osorio, Natalia Ruiz Rodgers, Paola Jiménez Uribe, Parra Roman Natalia and the entire team at Universidad El Bosque for creating such valuable spaces for the industry. #FutureofHigherEducation #Education #ArtificialIntelligence #DataAnalytics #1Mentor

La semana pasada tuve el privilegio de participar en un conversatorio en Panamá, donde abordamos un tema crítico: la desconexión entre la educación y las necesidades del mercado laboral. Este conversatorio reunió a representantes de gobierno (Ministerio de Trabajo y Desarrollo Laboral), instituciones de educación superior (UMECIT) y empresas (Consejo Nacional de Empresa Privada de Panamá), y me gustaría compartir algunas recomendaciones clave que surgieron de nuestra discusión: 1. Comprender el problema: El primer paso para solucionar cualquier desafío es entenderlo a fondo. Necesitamos un enfoque basado en el análisis de datos para conocer cómo evoluciona el mercado laboral y cuáles son las brechas en la educación superior. Solo así podremos desarrollar estrategias bien fundamentadas y alineadas con la realidad del mercado. 2. Adoptar modelos de educación basados en competencias: Una vez que entendamos cómo hacer los programas de educación superior más pertinentes, es esencial avanzar hacia modelos de educación basados en competencias. Esto implica establecer resultados de aprendizaje tangibles que capaciten a los estudiantes para marcar la diferencia en sus campos de trabajo. 3. Apoyo gubernamental para la agilidad y flexibilidad: Es necesario que el gobierno apoye la reducción del tiempo de aprobación de nuevos programas o de cambios en los ya existentes. Se deben establecerse lineamientos que promuevan un modelo educativo más flexible y dinámico, adaptado a las necesidades actuales. Este tipo de diálogos son esenciales para lograr una educación que realmente prepare a los estudiantes para el futuro. Hermes Mauricio Sierra Rivera René Quevedo Bryan Townshend B.
