Abstract:
This study examines how tertiary education systems, methods, and processes are coping with an increasingly turbulent global context marked by the pandemic, conflict, climate crises, and rapid technological change. Using a mixed-methods survey of 401 respondents from over 30 countries, it finds that while higher education shows some adaptive capacity in the post-pandemic period, it continues to face serious challenges related to technology access, student engagement, and mental health. The authors argue that institutions must prioritize technical integration, teacher training, and mental health support to achieve more relevant and effective educational outcomes, positioning the study as a starting point for ongoing inquiry rather than a definitive conclusion.
