Ramesh A; 2019, emphasizes three ways higher education institutions need to rebuild to survive the new era as part of setting a high standard in higher education. I believe these ways need to be considered as Teacher trainers develop teacher trainer programme modules to ensure the quality of the programme. The three ways are mentioned as follows:
- Accessibility - The one-size-fits-all approach of a standard four-year, tuition-based education to be challenged. The college application is to be customized, based on what the institution offers.
- Outcomes - Tomorrow’s universities not be rewarded financially unless they place their students into jobs. Thus, their goals and the goals of their students should be perfectly aligned. The author insists on no student loans. Instead, the educational institution takes on the financial burden (and risk) of a student’s education. Currently, the curricula are far behind to what is done in the industry and this adds to graduate unemployability.
- ROI (returns on investment)– will determine which programs exist in the long run. Negative ROI programs will be replaced by outcome-focused, high-ROI counterparts. If a college education is not a worthy investment, students and parents will choose an alternate path. So many times, graduates find the qualification no longer relevant in the industry by the time they graduate because institutions fail to benchmark with what is done in the industry.
In conclusion, Tutoring practice made to realize that industry, politics, funding and leadership play can make or break educational spaces. Co-operation from the communities and industry would yield remarkable results in the re-imagined future educational landscape. Educational higher institutions are to re-think its purpose and position themselves correctly to ensure relevancy and quality education in the 21st century, Education 4.0 and beyond.
