Forces driving the foundational shifts

Falling enrollment

North American and EU higher-ed enrollment is falling as demographics shift. In some countries, more women than men are completing higher ed. Higher education solutions can help address these challenges by enhancing the learning experience and attracting a diverse student population.

Cost and ROI barriers

Cost and ROI barriers are key factors in declining enrollments. One poll shows American confidence in higher ed is down. Education technology solutions offer opportunities to optimize costs and demonstrate the return on investment in education, thus mitigating these barriers.

Reskilling in high demand

High demand for reskilling and reeducation is led by work’s changing nature. The World Economic Forum says 54% of employees will need reskilling by 2030. Higher education technology solutions play a crucial role in providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities to meet this demand for reskilling.
