Finding Promise For The Time To Come Of Higher Education...

Thomas Frey offers 2 recent posts at FuturistSpeaker.com that I encourage others to read.  The get-go is from July 5, 2013, By 2030 over 50% of Colleges volition Collapse, as well as this initial postal service stands apart from the articles amongst a like topic that I've been reading the past times year.  Frey sets the phase past times quantifying what he calls driving forces earlier contestation that 8 heart issues volition aspect upwards institutions...and, over 50% volition fail.

While it is a fleck weird to tell that I enjoyed reading a  post that predicts the demise of learning communities that I've known...maybe fifty-fifty the i where I'm currently employed, Frey is i of the get-go authors I've read who also articulates a rationale for a substantial increment inward necessitate for education.  He fifty-fifty goes then far every bit predicting inward his follow-up postal service on July 28, 2013, Preparing our Minds for Thoughts Unthinkable: The Future of Colleges as well as Universities, that, "In the hereafter the largest spider web belongings on the Internet volition hold out oriented some education."

Reading other authors as well as the oftentimes lengthy listing of emotional comments of their readers or watching diverse pundits on t.v. has non been rattling satisfying...with their repeated references to unsustainable toll increases, educatee debt loads, as well as higher pedagogy institutions that are unable or unwilling to change....people only appear a fleck also happy sticking a finger inward my eye...or, proverb inward many ways that what I've been doing, is at best, irrelevant....or worse, buries innocent immature people nether mountains of debt without imparting whatsoever marketable skills.

Instead of breathlessly anticipating the halt of our "bubble" as well as the demise of higher education...I came away from reading Frey more hopeful than I've felt for a while...and amongst luck I mightiness alive only long plenty to run into if he is correct.
