Lessons from the development of higher education across Asia where many institutions displayed commendable agility in their response to the pandemic
Asian universities have been steadily working their way up the rankings to gain prominence as some of the best places to study in the world. The economic growth in much of Asia since the 1990s has spurred the development of its higher education sector, resulting in many institutions which showed remarkable adaptability when faced with the pandemic. These universities are challenging the traditional flow of students from East to West while creating new collaborations, partnerships and ways of teaching. This collection of resources explores how best to navigate these changes and meet the needs of Asian students for a top quality education.
