International
Higher Education Forum
ONLINE EVENT
Higher Education worldwide is changing, and institutions are encountering challenges when adapting to the new
reality and preparing for an unclear and potentially unfamiliar post COVID environment. 2020 has accelerated
some of these changes, introduced new obstacles and exposed needs that were not specifically considered
before.
Education Institutions are now tackling a number of issues around student migration and recruitment, the
learning environment and virtual education, internationalization and employability. The question is, how
do Higher Education Institutions continue to stay relevant, adapt to an ever-evolving world, address the
requirements of modern students as future professionals and international citizens against a backdrop of an
ever increasingly competitive ecosystem.
We at Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, are happy to invite you to take part in International
Higher Education Forum 2021. During the Forum we will address the issues head on and explore potential
solutions. Plenary sessions and presentations will be imparted by noted thought leaders and experts in their
fields, who will draw from academic research papers, case studies and success stories.
The conference will take place online 9th-11th March 2021 and will be divided into 5 main topic blocks.
