Education, particularly higher education, is undergoing its most significant transformation in centuries. Factors such as the population surge in the Global South, the proliferation of online and virtual learning platforms, the rise of AI and adaptive learning technologies, and the increasing demand for job-market relevance are driving an unprecedented overhaul in the sector.

As global demand for higher education outpaces the physical capacity of traditional universities, the need for fully remote, online programs will become critical. Millions of students across the globe will turn to these digital platforms.

Ministries of Education face the challenge of updating regulations to align with emerging trends. This will include revamping national curricula, overseeing new technologies, accrediting online universities, and developing new specializations and modalities of learning.
