Keypoints

The presentations revolved around the impacts of COVID-19 on higher education and the disruption of university teaching and student learning, research, HE finances, and mobility in different regions.  

  • Call on more collaboration to achieve SDG4 and Leave no one behind.  
  • Foster a long-term vision for HE in balance with different cultures, languages and systems for a better world  
  • HE as key for building back a post-COVID society  
  • The pandemic is not over, and it continues to affect HE with inequities. The UNESCO IESALC report calls for creating a more equitable post-pandemic world. It also calls for progress towards the democratization of internationalization.
  • Think on the impact of Covid-19 on HE 20 years on the road.  
  • Enrich blended learning and access to technology and to mental health 
  • Put students at the very center of HE to become the best people, preparing them for jobs and life and to benefit for cross-cultural exchange as a way of democratization of HE. 
  • This panel also saw the official launch of the UNESCO-IESALC report Resuming or Reforming? Tracking the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education after two years of disruption, which offers a comprehensive overview of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on higher education’s functions, particularly on administration and management, teaching and learning, research and internationalization.
