Necessity of a Hybrid Model in Higher Education

Over the past couple of years, there has been speculation about what the future of work force might look like in a post-pandemic world. Discussion has also revolved less often on what education might look like. The global pandemic has forced everyone to adapt, but education institutions have been at the receiving end mostly. The Institutions being steeped in tradition have often thrived around a campus-based culture. Up to a year ago, remote learning on such a grand scale was never thought possible, nor was it necessarily the ambition. So much has shifted in the last one year or so that though there has been a stupendous effort on the part of the Institutions to acclimatize themselves to the new needs and to a new way of learning, many challenges remain. There is a need for universities/ Institutes to offer a consistent learning environment between the campus and those accessing lessons remotely to ensure future success and resilience. It would be our combined effort of all those involved in Higher education system to offer a workplace evolution so that we are able to nurture the upcoming generation of workplace talent.
