Although students have been vocal in recent years about their desire for digital advancements in higher education – lobbying in the past two decades for online lectures and interactive teaching tools – progress in Higher Education has been slow and almost non-existent.
The much-needed paradigm shift was eventually delivered by the global pandemic in 2020, prompting universities and academics to embrace themselves in a new era of online teaching and learning as courses shifted online overnight.

Hence, with their superior access to resources, notably capital, knowledge and labour, BGs can supp ..read more

Sri Lankan Protestors
