Looking back at the last few months and speaking to university leaders around the world, one certainly gets the impression that a crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity. From one day to the next, universities were forced to rethink and adapt their teaching concepts. Some would say – myself included – this was the time when institutions and education systems were finally catching up on a previously oft-neglected aspect in higher education: the teaching experience. So far so good. But I also believe we have now reached the tipping point.
Even if I do not want to defend this to the last detail, coming from a country with a primarily public university system, I propose to look at the system of tertiary education for a moment as a market – both nationally and internationally.
