What’s on the horizon for higher education?


Experts around the world have identified that social, technological, economic, environmental and political trends are influencing the higher ed sector.


An economic trend that the research identifies as significant is the growth of the digital economy. Colleges will need to respond to increased interest in cryptocurrencies among consumers and to maintain their “digital identities” as well as navigating the fact that each student and employee will be more likely to have their own personal digital identity.


The report also states that the spread of hybrid and online learning was named one of the top social trends. Institutions will need to focus on developing strong teaching practices and technologies to support student learning online or in hybrid courses.


Institutions should also focus on ways to accommodate people who are learning and working remotely; prioritize students health; and upgrade audio and video equipment in campus to effectively teach students, whether they’re learning in a physical classroom or online.


In the realm of political trends, the report notes that the increasing polarization of American society is fast encroaching on higher education. It predicts that, “at those institutions with stated political allegiances, the idyllic vision of a university classroom alive with free thought and open debate will give way to classrooms with constrained discussions and narrow definitions of what counts as legitimate knowledge and truth.”


The report summarized that in order to sustain the financial status of the institution, Institutions will need to be able to better make the case for why the education they offer is worth it.
