The University of the South Pacific recently featured in the globally acclaimed entrepreneurship and leadership magazine, Forbes.
The Forbes article “Why Equitable Access to Quality Higher Education Matters More Than Ever” highlighted the University’s ability to easily “adapt to new ways of teaching, learning and researching,” during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic had caused great interference to higher academic institutions and USP has had to adapt to new ways, shifting to online and blended mode of learning in order to efficiently meet its core functions.
The article is based on a survey by the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) which tried to assess and provide a snapshot of digital engagement across the higher education sector within the Commonwealth, by looking at the degree of broadband access during the pandemic for high and low income countries.
As a member of this global network of Universities, USP was able to provide accurate assessment of not only the challenges institutions all over the world have been facing, particularly in recent months, but also what they have been doing to overcome those barriers.
