Realigning higher ed for the modern student. Programme.
The Varkey Foundation is convening the event, which will include a discussion of the findings from a new global poll commissioned by Chegg.org on the lives, hopes and fears of undergraduate students around the world. The survey, which polled 17,000 undergraduate students in 21 countries, shows that many of today’s students would broadly support moves toward more online learning in higher education and their desire for more affordability in the system. It also finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the mental health of many undergraduate students around the world.
The Global Education Series event will bring together leaders and experts from across the world’s education and skills sector to discuss the future of further education. The event will also convene current and future higher education students to offer their views on the plethora of situations on hand.
