Key drivers fueling the demand for global higher education include increased enrollment rates and expanded access to digital, hybrid, and distance learning models. There are approximately 220 million students enrolled worldwide in post-secondary education, driven by growing populations and heightened awareness of higher education's value, especially in emerging economies. The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality is transforming the sector, offering engaging learning experiences.
