RE: The University sector is going to get wrecked by the coronavirus

in LeoFinance • 4 years ago

Technological shifts are going to destroy the industry.

Look for most education to start to take place online. The idea of going away for 4 years to get a degree so that you can just get a job makes no sense.

But for a few disciplines, most can be done online. This will really explode as video conferencing improves greatly.

    I agree. The thing is, people won't pay the same for online learning as they do for face-to-face tuition. So unless they lower the standards for who gets into the university, in order to get the number of students up, these universities are going to be making a fraction of the money they used to make.

    There will be a lot of them that go out of business.

    In the United States, I am guessing more than 30% of the for profit universities go under. I would surmise it is the same all over the world.
