ROYAL LOVE STORY
THE FIRST BLACK U.S. PRESIDENT
Higher Education As A Temple: A place where learning and willing minds are intellectually transformed through knowledge and the acquisition of specific skills to competent global leaders ready to impact the society
Higher Education as a hub: An Institution through which other major organisation intersect
A gateway and the nexus to the expansion of knowledge to the various facets of human endeavor thus,
various other societal institutions seek knowledge from and have activities and offshoots that revolve
around the universities as the fountain
DISCUSSION QUESTION:How do we assess the impact of higher education in relation to global trends, for example, how can an educational leader ‘stay ahead’ of the rapid socio-cultural changes in the school system?
