Today our guest is Shai Reshef President of the University of the People.

• University of the People is the first non-profit, tuition-free, American-accredited online university and has announced its plans to increase its reach amongst South African students.
• University of the People is a tuition-free international tertiary institution and the fastest-growing online university in the world.
• The institution offers Bachelor’s degrees in the high job demand academic programmes of Business Administration, Computer Science, and Health Science as well as a Master’s in Education and an MBA.
• These programmes were specifically chosen for their real-world relevancy and students can study from anywhere, on any device – even a mobile phone.
• The Covid-19 pandemic and other events over the past 18 months have accelerated existing trends at speeds few could’ve anticipated.
• Higher education institutions that have been too slow to transform are now being forced to rethink their approach and develop business models and ethos for a new world in which students are ready for a more flexible and transformative learning environment.
