\n\t\t\t\tThe latest restrictions on international student visas by the US government are upending the plans of thousands of prospective Chinese students, while students currently in the US are being warned that leaving the country, even briefly, could jeopardise their chances of returning. \n\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n

\n\t\t\t\tThe United States government\u2019s ban on Harvard University enrolling foreign students exemplifies the growing control states are asserting over global academic mobility. Amid global tensions and rising nationalism, rather than defending international higher education, we must reimagine it as a commitment to shared futures. \n\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n

\n\t\t\t\tWithout change, many higher education institutions risk becoming less relevant in an evolving landscape. Two powerful strategies hold the potential to help: modular learning and AI-driven personalisation. Together, they can open up access, improve learner outcomes, enhance efficiencies and create future-ready education systems. \n\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n
