sfb Symposium on the Future of Continuing Professional Development
On the topic circle: "Future scenario of education in the field of tension of economic or economic perspectives" the sfb Höhere Fachschule für Technologie und Management will hold a symposium on September 15, 2021.
Higher technical colleges (HE) have an important key position in Switzerland due to our education system. The higher professional examination enjoys great popularity, and the numbers have increased significantly. Comparing Switzerland with Europe, our country is clearly in the lead here. By 2045, the current proportion of about 35 percent could rise to 60 percent. But: the participation costs for a higher technical college are relatively high - for example in comparison to the Bachelor, the internationality of the degrees is not recognized, the federal title and the visa or the logo from the federal government are missing on the diplomas. The individual courses are recognized, but not the HF as an institution. The brand "HF" is therefore unprotected - this must change.
What will the teaching of the future look like?
Added to this tension of economic or "economic perspectives" and the question of the future of continuing vocational training in general are new developments triggered by the Corona pandemic. It has become clear that "Internet teaching" in education is trend-setting. It is particularly noticeable in the tertiary sector and increasingly demands new competencies for teaching. Learners are becoming increasingly flexible and independent. They increasingly decide where, when and how often they devote themselves to the learning material. The sfb symposium on September 15, 2021 is intended to highlight current, economic and educational policy requirements for the teaching of the future, in the competitive environment of the CH education landscape.
