As with the inaugural edition, this year's survey canvasses the views of senior university leaders to gain a broad understanding of their internal priorities and strategies, as well as their perspectives on the wider operating environment. In addition, there is a deeper focus on the policy and regulatory environment and transnational education.    Jonathan Chew #highereducation #highered #internationaleducation #intled #universityleaders

A massive congratulations to our joint winners in the Performance Improvement INSPIRE Award: Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP) - Sydney campus, and Edith Cowan University - Sri Lanka! The INSPIRE Awards are based on our values and designed to recognise and reward the remarkable talent within our organisation. The Performance Improvement Award recognises the success of a particular college or campus. To help us select a winner for this award, shortlisted colleges were invited to 'pitch' their story to a judging panel. In 15 minutes they had to articulate how they achieved their outstanding results. We really couldn’t pick between these two campuses. ACAP Sydney's clever marketing campaigns, their school's engagement, their intense student support and their industry, and alumni engagement is what impressed our judging panel. ECU Sri Lanka is only a young campus, but what the team has managed to achieve has been nothing short of amazing. They established ECU as a brand in a market where no other Australian universities have a presence, and they created incredible opportunities for students to grow academically, personally and professionally - all while building a reputation among government and industry stakeholders that our established campuses would envy. Congratulations again to our two deserving Performance Improvement Award winners for 2024!
