Blog focus:

"This blog was kindly contributed by Ron Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, University College London Institute of Education and Honorary Fellow of St Mary’s University. His latest sole-authored book is The Ecological University: A Feasible Utopia. This blog is based on the thoughts offered by Ron at a recent webinar hosted by St Mary’s University. The webinar will be made available in due course on St Mary’s website.  

 

My argument takes the form of two questions:  

* Will the future (for higher education) ever come? 

* Or, if it comes, will it be a better or a worse future?"

From the article:

While South Africa awaits guidance from the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Blade Nzimande, on plans for a return to campus as Covid-19 lockdown eases, one of the country’s top academics has warned that the days of seeing 300 to 400 students in a packed lecture hall are over.
