Today, Wednesday 23.03.2022, the first day of the International Education Leaders Forum was opened in Dubai, with the participation of Cihan University - Duhok.
The first workshop was titled “Steering tertiary education out of the crisis: Lessons from the COVID-19” presented by Dr. Roberta Malee Bassett, Global Lead for Tertiary Education, Education Global Practice, World Bank Group, USA. 

For decades, tertiary education systems have been managed with the assumption that stability and continuity are sufficient for their purpose. Several recent shocks, including the financial crisis of the early 2000s, the transformative impacts of technology, and most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic (which combined the former two crisis issues with the disruptions of the global health crisis), have required rethinking in how to be more strategic and purposeful in leading tertiary education. This talk will present these issues within the new World Bank policy advisory framework for tertiary education, STEERing Tertiary Education: Toward Resilient Systems that Deliver for All., to offer one methodology for assessing system-level fitness for high quality and relevant tertiary education today and in years to come.
