Transforming Higher Education Policy and Practice for the Global Common Good

Uliana Furiv, Associate Project Officer at the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning, will discuss how flexibility has been important both during COVID-19 and before for enhancing the resilience of education systems. During the discussion, Uliana will share some good practices regarding promising policy options for creating more flexibility in higher education, as well as share some experiences of eight countries that have developed effective policies at both national and decentralised levels.

Trine Jensen, Manager of Higher Education & Digital Transformation at the International Association of Universities, will discuss changes she has observed while developing a new IAU Policy Statement: 

Transforming Higher Education for the Common Global Good in a Digital World

. Although the initial draft of the statement was prepared prior to the pandemic, the accelerated digital transformation during the pandemic highlights the importance of this work and key issues at stake for the future of higher education.
