The Global Future of Education at 5.5 Inches. The future higher education is in South Asia, East Asia, and Africa. And that future is mobile learning and competency based credentialing.

By 2100 the African population could grow to 4 billion, during which time Africa will enjoy a demographic dividend of rapidly lowering mortality, declining fertility, longer life spans, and a growing and productive workforce. Hundreds of millions of people in Africa will follow the same trajectory of rising expectations, urbanization, and educational attainment that we have seen in East Asia. Africa will never be able to build enough postsecondary institutions to keep up with the demand.
The solution will be found in mobile learning. The same story that I just told for Africa will happen (more quickly) in East and South Asia. L’identité biométrique, arme anticorruption des Indiens.
