The 2-hour online complementary seminar on the "Quality of Higher Education in the VUCA World" was hosted by Educational Quality International and led by its principal consultant, Johnson Ong Chee Bin on 10 June 2021.
The seminar began with a prayer of peace for our colleagues, friends and the people of Myanmar. We prayed for their peace, safety, happiness, prosperity and non-violence.
The seminar began with the characteristics and effects of the VUCA world and its impact on higher education and quality assurance system. It highlighted the need to reimagine the design of the quality assurance of higher education as quality of purpose rather than quality for purpose in the higher education ecosystem, and the evolution of the principle of constructive alignment to be relevant in the VUCA world.
The seminar ended with two critical success factors to ride above the VUCA world - alignment and agility which was followed by a group discussion.
The seminar was attended by about 120 participants from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
