In a recent interview, he outlined five key changes accelerated by the Covid-19 crisis that will reshape education: engaging students and teachers through new training methods, leveraging advanced technologies for better interaction, transforming educational materials into more interactive formats, promoting globalization by connecting students worldwide, and requiring institutions to adapt their management to a competitive, globalized market where students can choose any university.\n\nThese shifts, although expedited by the pandemic, reflect ongoing trends in education and represent an irreversible transformation. Utku stresses that universities must evolve to cultivate \u201cuniversal citizens\u201d\u2014individuals who are not only experts in their fields but also equipped with collaborative and leadership skills to drive global progress. Post-pandemic education should focus on quality training that fosters open-minded, adaptable individuals capable of leading societal change. Ultimately, education must prepare students with the skills and vision needed to thrive in a connected, rapidly evolving world and contribute meaningfully to global development.","_oaas_audio_url":"https:\/\/www.fundacionbankinter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/summary-29754-1766059539.mp3"},"categories":[193],"class_list":["post-29754","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-transformation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
