Part 2/11:
For over a thousand years, universities have been centers of learning and knowledge accumulation. Rooted in a medieval model where physical presence and localized repositories of knowledge were the norm, these institutions have served as vital gateways to higher education. However, as the world becomes increasingly digital, the question arises: can this centuries-old model remain viable?
The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity to test the remote education model. With many educational institutions transitioning to online platforms, a significant shift was evident. The viability of remote learning demonstrated that education doesn't necessarily require physical attendance or location-centric models, fundamentally challenging the traditional university structure.
