Using technology to inspire student retention and career-based learning

The transition from high school to college can be difficult for some students. In the dynamic and diverse educational landscape of South-East Asia, leveraging technology to enhance student retention and career-based learning is both an urgent necessity and a promising opportunity.

This panel discussion will explore practical solutions to pressing challenges, such as equity issues, high dropout rates, the need for career-relevant skills, and student motivation. Attendees will learn how universities and vocational colleges are using technology to make courses more globalised and career-oriented to better equip students for the jobs of tomorrow.
