The future of higher education is in
spurring development, an event at the Italian Pavilion at Expo
2020 Dubai heard Monday.
Higher education's future lies in mobilizing a community of
knowledge and learning, represented by the UNESCO university
chairs, and putting them at the service of governments and
institutions to cope with the challenges currently facing the
world, said UNESCO Deputy Director General for the education
sector Stefania Giannini at the event dubbed "International
UNESCO Chairs Forum on the Futures of Higher Education", marking
International Education Day.
"We must really seize the opportunity given by the pandemic
crisis and move on from a competitive model to a cooperative
model of development", she said at the event organized by the
Italian Pavilion and UNESCO.
The forum involved over 80 UNESCO Chairs.
