Preparing for a Different Future – Learning in an Age of Disruption

Resumen

Global change dynamics require a refocusing of educational policy and practice so that there is a relent-less commitment to building a sustainable society and circular economy focused on equity. This paper explores several dynamics of global change and the implications of these dynamics for education, especially education beyond school. It will look at the range of response to these challenges and how they contribute to improving access and success in education. Specific developments in higher education occurring around the world which suggest patterns of change for the future. These developments are placed in the context of both the ongoing war for talent and the competition between public and private interests in education.
