A summary of the 8 trends:
- Labor market shifts and the rise of automation
- Economic shifts and moves toward emerging markets
- Growing disconnect between employer demands and college experience
- The growth in urbanization and a shift toward cities
- Restricted immigration policies and student mobility
- Lack of supply but growth in demand
- The rise in non-traditional students
- Dwindling budgets for institutions
Below what I personally find most interesting for the development of IGDORE (ping @jo.havemann, @antonio.schettino, @dbernt, @Enrico.Fucci):
Restricted immigration policies and student mobility
“the rise in anti-immigration policies, coupled with the need for increased enrollment, means institutions will have to find new ways of attracting international students”
Lack of supply but growth in demand
“According to the UNESCO Institute of Statistics, by 2030 there will be an estimated increase of nearly 120 million students participating in higher education, with 2.3 million of them being internationally mobile. […] it’s the lower- and middle-income nations where demand is increasing, while higher-income nations tend to see more stagnant tertiary enrollment growth”
The rise in non-traditional students
“Institutions will have to share resources and utilize emerging technologies like [massive open online courses] in a more creative fashion, utilizing globally but assessing locally”
