Higher education is not doomed – it is actually changing
An article published in University World News by Francesco Cappé CEO and President of GIOYA HEI and Maurits van Rooijen Chair of the Academic Senate and Board Member of GIOYA HEI, reflects on the profound transformation currently reshaping higher education.
Rather than approaching change as evidence of an inevitable decline, the authors invite readers to reconsider how universities are evolving in response to a rapidly changing world.
The article encourages a broader discussion about the future of higher education and the need to move beyond narratives centred exclusively on crisis, disruption or institutional uncertainty.
The piece presents transformation not simply as a challenge, but as an opportunity to rethink the role, purpose and continued relevance of higher education in contemporary society.
