UNESCO Laureate Prof. Sir Bashiru Aremu has been invited by the International Association of Universities in collaboration with WAHEN – World Access to Higher Education Network to discuss the topic “The Future of Higher Education is back,”  with Sub title: Equitable Access and Success in Higher Education:

The International Association of Universities (IAU) and the WAHEN – World Access to Higher Education Network have joined forces to produce a series of talks on The Future of Higher Education is back!  with Subtitle: Equitable Access and Success in Higher Education: Mapping the Future Agenda  They will focus on the changes currently taking place in higher education.

According to the Letter that was written by the Team to UNESCO Laureate Prof Sir Bashiru Aremu, read: “Dear UNESCO Laureate Prof Sir Bashiru Aremu, As we emerge from the height of the pandemic, new and old challenges risk forcing equity down the list of institutional and government priorities. How much can we expect inequalities in access and success to change if how we deliver higher education, admit students and make policy remains the same? Is more radical change needed?

“This event will gather policymakers, researchers and university leaders from across the world to examine the challenges to tackle to advance equity in access and success in higher education.

“Speakers will expand on new research, examples of institutional innovation and international collaboration to identify good global practices to push the equity boundaries forward.”
