Higher Education In 2020
Stop teaching and transferring knowledge.
Start producing information and creating thoughts.
Traditionally universities
had a major task, it was teaching .The public opinion about colleges and
universities duty is still teaching and presenting degree. People believe
that universities are some places, to transfer knowledge and information.
Transferring knowledge to new generation was the main purpose of the higher
education in the country.
IN the recent decade knowledge
and information are not only in the universities. New technology particularly
WWW and Internet are the main sources of information. WWW and Internet
are presenting new and up to date information in different attractive shapes
and interesting ways. Today without travelling and going out of home is
possible to access to knowledge by applying personnel computers.according
to new technology universities have to change their duties from teaching
to inquiry and researchs, inother word producing new information and new
thoughts. In the next tow decades, all universities would be a place for
bright and elite individuals to research and produce new concepts, rules
and procedures. Internet, World Wide Web and other mass media would be
as a tool to present universities productions. During next twenty years,
colleges would be a place for skill training. High school graduates are
going to learn skills in order to have the best job opportunity, and employees
are going to have in service training to improve their job position. In
this reform universities and colleges should accept the reality and plan
gradually to change in the next coming years.
