Some General Conclusions relating to Higher Education
Educational organizations should be facilitated in creating links with local
stakeholders and businesses to ease the learners/students’ progress in the labour
market.
There should be a more structured way to share experiences between former
students/learners to those willing to enrol in courses. This will allow the constant
attraction of new learners and improvement in motivation.
Web lessons and cloud teaching is considered the future of education. This should be
considered more important in Higher education.
Higher education is considered to be more oriented to research and cloud based in
the future. These are important aspects which should be taken into consideration by
those who design and structure programmes of study and the system in general.
