Last week I had a great fireside chat at the #EastAfricaHubConvening by The Education Collaborative. I shared my fear and optimism about the future of higher education in Africa. HLIs in Africa still operate in the same way years after technology disruptions. Now, more than ever they need to rethink their approaches. A couple of things need to be reimagined; ✅ Time Spent on Campus ✅ Competency Assessment ✅ The Role of The Lecturer ✅ Pedagogical Approach ✅ Industry Collaboration ✅ Sector Regulation The main question was..how do we design the university of the future when we don't know what the future looks like? My answer was; AGILITY. We need to be flexible to learn and adapt quickly to changes. @VenturesSahara @SparkSahara @SaharaConsult_

International business and education will become increasingly intertwined in the future, and this relationship will be critical for both parties. International education develops skills with a worldwide perspective and multicultural background, which are ideal for the needs of international businesses. Collaborative research initiatives can generate technological and business model innovation, increasing enterprise competitiveness. International education provides market expertise and cultural background, which can assist businesses in entering new markets more effectively and boost university-enterprise collaboration. The educational system is also committed to instilling in pupils a feeling of social responsibility and environmental awareness, as well as assisting businesses in achieving sustainable development goals and facilitating their digital transformation. To sum up, tight collaboration between international firms and international education can boost competitiveness while also promoting economic development, addressing global challenges, increasing cultural exchanges, and achieving sustainable development and common progress. #UniversityEnterpriseCooperation #SocialResponsibility #InternationalEducation #InternationalEnterprises #GlobalPerspective #Multiculturalism #CollaborativeResearch #TechnologicalInnovation #BusinessModel #MarketKnowledge #SustainableDevelopment #DigitalTransformation #CompetitivenessEnhancement #EconomicDevelopment #GlobalChallenges #CulturalExchange

National Bureau of Statistics: Chinese investment in science and technology exceeded 3.3 trillion yuan in 2023. Enterprises are the main force driving R&D funding growth. In terms of international comparison, the level of Chinese enterprises' R&D spending as a proportion of society as a whole is close to that of the #UnitedStates (79.0%) and #Japan (79.4%), and higher than that of #Germany (67.4%), #France (65.8%) and other European countries. However, it is mainly higher education institutions and government-owned research institutes that are the main force in carrying out basic research activities in #China, contributing 60.2 percent and 31.6 percent, respectively, to the growth of basic research funding in 2023. #ExtremaRatio 👇 https://lnkd.in/e729hYVV
