<h3>Background</h3> <p>The last five to ten years have seen many big developments impacting Scotland’s tertiary education system. Some positive changes have included:</p> <ul> <li>National initiatives around enterprise and skills.</li> <li>Widening access and the learner journey.</li> <li>New modes of delivery including graduate apprenticeships and online learning.</li> <li>Greater cross-over between college and university pathways.</li> </ul> <p>It is certain that tertiary education will continue to evolve and transform over the next few decades, with implications for learners, the economy and society alike.</p> <p>Disruptions such as Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as more long-term trends like the ongoing digital revolution, mean this change will not always be steady nor predictable. Tertiary education will need to become resourceful and agile in the face of these forces, continuing to provide a key service while also contributing to the solutions that society needs to thrive.</p> <p>The RSE’s independence and convening power are uniquely placed to facilitate frank, cross-disciplinary dialogue to inform public policy and address complex societal problems.</p> <p>This project, therefore, aims to:</p> <ul> <li>Stimulate wide-reaching and informed debate about tertiary education futures by bringing in a wide range of views and perspectives.</li> <li>Provide opportunities for practitioners, students and the wider public to join the conversation and share their experiences, ideas and ambitions for the future of tertiary education in Scotland.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="column column-30 column-offset-2 "> <p>However, the tertiary sector also finds itself facing increasingly complex and unprecedented challenges ranging from:</p> <ul> <li>Increasing marketisation and competition between education providers.</li> <li>The changing demographic of the student body.</li> <li>Brexit and its impact on funding, free movement, and other factors.</li> <li>Internationalisation.</li> <li>Debates about the allocation of public funding to different areas of tertiary education, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.</li> </ul> <p>These factors have yet to prove positive or negative but they are undeniably occurring at a time of growing pressure on staff time and shrinking resources within institutions.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="" id="h-report"> <div class="container "> <div class="row"> <div class="column"> <div class="card-featured"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="card-body-content"> <h3>Student-centredness will become a defining feature in the future of tertiary education.</h3> <p>The project’s final report builds on the investigative roundtables informed by sectoral views. It aims to stimulate continued creative thinking about how post-school education might evolve over the next few decades and what this means for learners and society. The project captured lived experiences as well as reflections on more general concepts such as collaboration in the sector or shared values in the tertiary system. The findings are intended to serve as a starter for further dialogue. By initiating a forward-looking conversation, cotland can ensure it is well-placed to nurture a system that delivers for all learners, in all instances, whilst also empowering staff and society at large.</p> <p><a href="https://rse.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Tertiary-Educations-Futures-online-report-2023.pdf">Download Tertiary Educations Futures report 2023 (1.54MB, PDF)</a></p> </div>
