Abstract

Higher education institutions continue to play a fundamental, unique and core role in seeking and pursuing a vision for education and training that celebrates cultural difference. We are proud to present this issue with contributions from Jordan, Malaysia, Sudan, Ukraine, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Indonesia, and China. The pandemic continues to challenge all educators, particularly those in tertiary settings where learning and teaching remotely presents its own set of challenges. This issue has a strong focus on strategic capabilities and the academic performance of students in higher education. Research on assessment, leadership, the sociocultural environment of inclusion, and the professional development of educators, will provide interesting and informative reading, on how global educators continue with their core business of delivering relevant and meaningful education.
