Implication for the Future

The pace of technological advancements is anticipated to rapidly change the needs of the labor market and education systems globally. Many countries, especially the PRC, have been preparing for such developments by heavily investing in endeavors that will enable them to become leaders in science, technology, and innovation. Universities, in particular, have been tapped as critical players in this race.

To keep up with dynamic changes in research and curricula, education systems need to ensure that teachers are well equipped to cope. Learning methodologies are expected to adapt quickly to rapid technological progress and ensure responsiveness to the needs of the labor market, and educators need to have adequate competencies to teach these. Emerging fields and disciplines brought by technological advancements will also require higher level skills and create new demand for curricular offerings/programs. This will also require more efforts in adult education, retooling, and/or upskilling, given the expected effects of disruptive technologies on jobs (i.e., automation, demand for new jobs). For countries to fully benefit from internationalization and university-industry endeavors, their education systems also need to be able to timely address these needs.
