Higher education in the Asia-Pacific: what does the next twenty years hold?
Higher education in the Asia-Pacific has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last two decades. Rapid rates of economic growth and favourable demographics have fuelled the demand for higher education, with large numbers of students forced to study overseas by the shortage of university places at home. Universities in the countries like the UK and Australia have become increasingly financially dependent on full fee-paying Asian students. In the last decade, the supply-side in Asia has begun to respond strongly, with an expansion in the number of universities and, as a matter of government policy, focused investment across a number of countries in developing an elite of ‘world-class universities’. Asian universities are beginning to assert themselves, but the demand for higher education continues to outstrip supply across the region. This presentation seeks to extrapolate these trends to explore the landscape of higher education in the Asia-Pacific in 2030.

Blog entry with links here: http://www.reachcap.com/blog/post/2016-edtech-outlook
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since we published our first ReimaginED report. When we first drafted ReimaginED, we set out to expose systemic challenges in our nation’s K-12 education system and to highlight some of the innovative solutions edtech entrepreneurs were developing to address these challenges. In last year’s report, we showcased ways technology could help our school system become an escalator to opportunity for all.
A lot has changed in three years, including our spinout from NewSchools to Reach Capital. Edtech investment has hit an all time high with a variety of new funders entering the space. As the market begins to mature, global edtech brands are emerging with solutions that are improving educational outcomes and serving millions of students, teachers, and families.
Even with these changes, however, a lot remains the same. The escalator to social mobility remains broken with unequal access to quality education. Meeting individual student needs is still a challenge and grows more pressing as children in US public schools are more diverse than ever. Moreover, our education system is not designed to prepare children for the demands of today's knowledge economy. We're still stuck in a system that is largely manufacturing-based, which falls short on important skills such as coding, creativity, and synthesis. All these challenges and more have led to increasing demands on teachers as both their role and their responsibilities evolve, with little to no support in the transition.
This year’s publication, rebranded as “Reach Capital’s 2016 Edtech Outlook”, touches on these persisting challenges, while also highlighting key drivers that make us optimistic about the potential of technology to improve access and opportunity for kids. This year, our publication is not a roundup of everything in K-12 edtech, but rather our perspective on the challenges,opportunities and promising solutions in the space that we find most compelling. If you're looking for a full report on the state of K-12 edtech, our friends at Edsurge in partnership with AT&T Aspire have recently published a state of edtech report and we encourage you to check it out.
Given our unique vantage point, we also provide a peek “around the corner” into emerging solutions that align with our mission. We continue to see a need for more innovations in critical areas like English Language Learner instruction and Social Emotional Learning. We look forward to finding and supporting talented, mission-driven entrepreneurs innovating in these and other areas that will improve access and opportunity for kids.
Thank you to co-authors Chian Gong, Aditya Kaddu, and Jennifer Wu as well as the entire Reach team for their guidance and feedback.

Reach Capital: 2021 ReimaginED Report on U.S. Education TrendsTony Wan
The pandemic forced the world to conduct the biggest experiment with online education ever. And what we've learned will fundamentally shape the future of teaching and learning.
Out of necessity, schools adopted online tools at unprecedented levels. But this will be the new reality, now that more educators, students and parents got a taste of how technology can empower and scale the best of human teaching and learning. It will allow schools to extend their village of support beyond the resources available in their communities.
This is our data-informed overview of the trends shaping U.S. K-12 and higher education beyond the pandemic.
The document proposes developing an open online course metadata standard to help address issues around choosing the right online courses. It suggests creating a standardized database with fields characterizing courses' passports, curriculums, access, technologies used, outcomes, and administration. This would facilitate searching for and integrating online courses across different providers. The proposal aims to benefit learners, customers, employers, and educators by making course information more discoverable and customizable based on individual needs.
This document discusses the digital skills gaps that exist on university campuses between students, faculty, and workforce needs. There are three main skills gaps - a generational gap between digitally native students and less tech-savvy faculty, a technological gap between the skills educators have and need, and an inequality gap between students' varying digital skill levels. Universities are now expected to teach both hard and soft digital skills to prepare students for careers. The document recommends eight core digital skills and provides steps for closing skills gaps through blended learning programs and digital skills training.
The document provides information about e-learning and education trends. It defines e-learning as learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. It notes that e-learning has advantages like flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and access to expert knowledge. However, it also has disadvantages like potential technology issues for learners, feelings of isolation due to lack of social contact, and inadequate teacher interaction compared to in-person learning. The document also shares statistics on the growth of e-learning and discusses trends in education moving towards more online and practical learning models.

Editor's Notes
If online recruitment is reliable, UniversitiesAbroad.com is even MORE reliable because…Most traffic to UniversitiesAbroad.com is organic, meaning students are arriving at the site because of their own personal searches that start at sites like Google or BaiduStudents answer questions that provide them pre-sorted list of programs that fit their needsStudents are able to search/browse outside of search results allowing them to find programs they might not have known aboutStudents must be engaged in this process in order to get results Students are NEVER incentivized to fill out a prospect form. No incentives cuts down on junk leads
