EP #54: The New Classroom; Adapting To The Changing Landscape Of Education w/ Prof. Tawana Kupe- Vice Chancellor, University Of Pretoria

In a rapidly modernized world, the pressure on educators to keep up with workforce demands and the increasingly liberal access to learning materials grows daily. In this episode, we sit down with Professor Tawana Kupe, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Pretoria, to discuss how a blended approach to education can bridge the digital divide and better prepare students for the 21st-century workforce. Professor Kupe unpacks the history of how digitalization and internet connections have revolutionized education in Africa and emphasizes the need for universities to update their curriculum continuously to keep up with emerging trends in technology such as Artificial Intelligence and free open-source courses. He also highlights steps he has pioneered to enable closer collaboration between the University of Pretoria and employers, and how they are ultimately preparing students for a future that is increasingly digital and collaborative.
