In a recent reflection<\/a>, the Spaniard \u00c1ngel Cabrera<\/a>, president of the Georgia Institute of Technology<\/a>, one of the 10 best public research universities in the United States, put on the table the impact of the pandemic on student exchanges.<\/strong> “COVID-19 sank the exchange of students. After the storm, there are signs of improvement, but a lot is at stake for the parties involved: students, universities, countries that send students and receive them,” he said. <\/p>\n\n

Her profile<\/a>, in addition to being a reference space to go to if you are looking to stay up to date on education<\/a>, is a window to other interesting profiles<\/strong> to keep track of on both sides of the Atlantic. It also has a Twitter<\/a> account. <\/p>\n\n

Education trends that are born in the elite… and they will be global <\/h2>\n\n

In the same line of references, the author Jeff Selingo<\/a> specializes in higher education and signed the bestseller entitled Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n

From his profiles on LinkedIn<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>, he analyzes the American university system in detail<\/strong>, which gives us clues about the trends that, once they penetrate the Ivy League, will expand to the rest of the globe. A regular in the article format of this social network, he recently wondered<\/a> about the insurmountable? bias of the ACT\/SAT type exams (the equivalent of the Spanish PAU), supporting his reflections in the specific case of the admissions system of the University of California. <\/p>\n\n

Along the same lines, Jason Wingard<\/a>, rector of Temple University<\/a>, raises debates linked to the high educational spheres, addressing issues that end up being transversal at all levels and mark the global impulses of the sector<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

A few weeks ago, for example, he addressed a highly topical issue such as the <\/strong>cancel culture<\/a> and its fit into the educational system.<\/strong> “Is the divisive trend of cancel culture infecting campuses and dismantling their raison d’\u00eatre of critical thinking, value and evidence-based thinking, as well as their open and healthy debates?” he asked. His reflections and retweets on the bird’s social network<\/a> are also a must.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n

And to close at home, the president of IE University<\/a> (Segovia), Santiago \u00cd\u00f1iguez<\/a>, shares interesting reflections and analyses of current issues, such as the arrival of the metaverse<\/a>, its applications and implications in the educational environment<\/a>.

Although signs of recovery are emerging, he emphasized that students, universities, and countries involved in these exchanges still face considerable challenges. This situation reflects broader trends in global higher education, where international enrollment is beginning to rise again after the pandemic-induced drop.\n\nSeveral influential figures in education provide insights into ongoing and future trends. Jeff Selingo, an expert on American higher education, critiques standardized testing biases and their implications for university admissions, using California\u2019s system as a case study. Jason Wingard, president of Temple University, engages in debates about cultural issues like cancel culture and its effects on academic freedom and critical thinking on campuses. Meanwhile, Santiago \u00cd\u00f1iguez, president of IE University in Spain, explores technological innovations such as the metaverse and their potential impact on education. Together, these voices illuminate evolving challenges and innovations shaping the global educational landscape
