Two recommended readings for colleagues and academic researchers interested in the higher education discipline. Including here the regular layperson like you and me too. ?? The below repost sharing as well as the first post. The contexts presented two sides of a coin to help one understand the current wave of the higher education landscape, start from the UK and how it may impact the global market environment. My question here, is this possibly the 4th wave? Or something different altogether with reference to say internationalisation of higher education? Repost credit: both OP authors.
Fascinating Wonkhe article by Professor Simon Marginson on: ?? deglobalisation in Western nations ?? migration amplifying nativism ?? misalignment of economics and politics in UK higher education ?? the need for a new mission - and funding - compact, which is less reliant on international tuition fees and recognises the societal benefits of higher education. Recommended reading.?

Interesting perspectives on decolonisation of higher education, positional hierarchy and power dynamics. Can we really decolonise positional hierarchy in higher education institutions? Does it apply to western institutions only? Should this also be investigated in eastern institutions? Is it really needed in order to bring more parity? Lots of questions to ask… https://lnkd.in/e7UjYV62 https://lnkd.in/eBm473vS

Despite having the resources and a clear mandate from fundamental capitalist theory as propounded by Adam Smith, if countries following neoliberalism do not interfere to enhance the common man's access to quality and affordable education, does it imply that the neoliberal power elite, being fully aware that knowledge, information, and technological know-how are the biggest resources for power in modern times, are deliberately trying to limit most people's access to power to keep the democratic power structure heavily dominated by the smallest possible group?
