[global hr forum 2014] new paradigms for future universities (1)
DESCRIPTION
The importance of higher education that cultivates creative future talents, who can actively prepare for the future society, is growing more and more. In Korea, 70 percent of high school graduates enter universities, thus universities have grown without any difficulties in attracting students and were able to innovate their system for many years. However, Korean universities now face new challenges, such as the decrease in the number of high school graduates, globalization of higher education and transformation from an industrial society of mass production to a knowledge-based society of highvalue products. Hence, universities are obliged to make efforts to transform their education and research system in order to keep up with the new transition into the future society. The Korean government has also pursued various policy measures in order to enhance the competitiveness of universities at a global level as top global universities have achieved global competency through innovating their education and research system. These top global universities also contribute to changes at the national level and in companies. In this session, presidents of prestigious universities will introduce their experiences of innovation in higher education, and discuss strategies to enhance the competitiveness of universities.TRANSCRIPT
