Universities forced to rethink internationalisation strategies<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tAmid geopolitical tensions and political pressure, universities are adapting by diversifying partnerships, regionalising collaborations, strengthening risk governance and pursuing more strategically selective forms of engagement to sustain meaningful global engagement. Politics is now embedded within the structures, priorities and everyday operations of universities themselves.

\n\t\t\t\tThe student is not a unit of bare educational life to be administered, but a person whose intellectual aptitude matters. That is what the AI debate in universities is missing \u2013 not a detection algorithm or a disclosure policy but a different question about what the student is.

\n\t\t\t\tUniversities produce scientific evidence every day, yet much of it never shapes policy. While researchers may be skilled at reporting methods and results, they can lack the ability to translate those results into policy-relevant recommendations. A solution is to bring science and policy closer.

The proposed \u2018National Platform for Knowledge Security\u2019 on its own is not sufficient. What is needed is a broad culture of awareness and shared responsibility.

\n\t\t\tThe structure of higher education was once built on a clear sequence: study first, work later. However, with most students now working alongside their studies, universities need to rethink how they operate to integrate work better, but carefully, so as not to create a two-tier system.<\/p>\n
