Unis must embrace 'Open-Loop'
Oped, Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, Published on 08/02/2023
» Having fixated on an educational model of classroom-based teaching for almost two centuries, educational work is being disrupted by new technologies, modern methods of teaching and learning, and a new age of practical, real-world learning. Universities need new-age approaches that are in tune with changing realities as well as beneficial to students, who often complain about out-of-date education.

Even now, no one is sure if Japan will be able to welcome more than 11,000 athletes to Tokyo this year.

Environmentalism in the wake of war in Ukraine
Oped, Giulio Boccaletti, Published on 26/03/2022
» Russia's war in Ukraine is tragic, infuriating, and unspeakably sad. It is also an unexpected turning point for environmentalism. Until a few days ago, climate change topped the global agenda, with science-based targets pointing the way to a cleaner, more sustainable future. But now, Russian President Vladimir Putin's reckless decision to invade a sovereign country and threaten nuclear war has revealed weaknesses in the architecture of international rules and multilateral governance. It is hard to believe that global environmental efforts have any chance of succeeding within such a fragile system.

Good intentions holding back uni students
Oped, Mariano Carrera, Published on 11/05/2024
» Good intentions are robbing students of their true potential. While it might seem contradictory, giving our students more opportunities to challenge themselves actually leads to a better understanding of the requirements of a fulfilling life, academic material, and social interactions.
The education policy that can bridge the gap
Oped, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 11/10/2024
