The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the changing world of work and imperatives of internationalisation in higher education

Abstract

We are seeing major disruptions to higher education, and the education system as a whole, not only at home but globally. One of the major contributors to such disruptions is the paradigmatic shift brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), with massive implications for the world of work, and by extension in higher education through the learner of the future.
