This episode covers a published report from the Council on Higher Education (CHE) in South Africa that presents four future scenarios (Continue; Decline; Disciplined Improvement; and Transformation) for higher education learning and teaching in 2036. Developed through a futures thinking approach involving stakeholder workshops and analysis of key factors, the scenarios explore possibilities ranging from a continued, uneven status quo to a transformative shift towards hyper-personalised learning. The scenarios highlight the interplay of various factors, such as funding, technology, and policy, and their potential impact on equity, quality, and the overall success of the sector. The report aims to inform strategic planning and decision-making within South African higher education, encouraging proactive responses to both challenges and opportunities.
