Higher education is volatile. I've been saying that for many years - long before covid. Media release recently in Norway : ""Ministry of Research and Higher Education said the goal of the new rules was “less bureaucracy”; “We need regulations that create higher education institutions which use their resources to address needs in the society rather than participate in an unnecessary bureaucratic competition over the use of the name university."  South Australia just announced it is merging it's 2 universities into one. International student numbers are dropping in many countries. As of February 2024, there were 703,245 enrolments by international students, compared with 578,930 in the same period of 2019.  Problems with education have been highlighted for a long time - specifically growing bureaucracy and focus on accreditation, funding, politics etc have pushed attention away from the real purpose of education; that is  "TO LEARN" Twenty years ago we refocussed on learning, de-prioritised accreditation and prioritised long term benefit to the student. We keep reminding ourselves that this is what matters most. I believe education will remain volatile until a lot more institutions refocus in a similar way.

Scottish universities are facing a perfect storm of financial pressures, including a decline in funding for domestic students and a decrease in the number of international students due to UK visa restrictions. A growing number of education leaders are calling for action to put our universities on a firmer financial footing. Sir Paul Grice, vice-chancellor at Queen Margaret University has suggested a cross-party commission to find new ways of funding higher education in Scotland. This is a welcome recommendation to initiate some fresh thinking into policy on this issue. As we highlighted in our recent sector growth strategy, financial services can add as much as £7 billion of value to the Scottish economy over the next five years, but that depends on maintaining the strength of our universities. As Sir Paul highlights, focus must be on creating a more sustainable system which continues to remove barriers for students from disadvantaged backgrounds while ensuring that we are retaining as much of our homegrown talent as possible. https://lnkd.in/eg2rbAPE

🎓🌍 Exploring Higher Education: US vs Europe Globally mobile families know their are profound differences between American and European higher education systems. 1. Structure and Duration: European programs often offer more specialized undergraduate studies from the outset may be shorter, compared to the broader, often four-year programs in the U.S. 2. Cost: This is a major differentiator. The cost of higher education in Europe can be significantly lower than in the United States, with many countries offering low or no tuition fees to EU citizens—and even to non-EU students in some cases. 3. Classroom Dynamics: European universities tend to emphasize independent study and a theoretical approach, whereas U.S. colleges often provide a more guided learning experience with a mix of practical and theoretical learning. 4. Degree Focus: The U.S. offers flexibility to change majors and explore various disciplines before settling on a focus, which contrasts with the often immediate specialization required within European universities. Understanding these differences is crucial for families and students considering cross-border education options. Each system offers unique advantages, and the best choice depends on the student’s educational goals and personal learning preferences. 👉 Are you considering a European vs. US university path for your child?
