Abstract

<p>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 21 contributions from South Africa, Hong Kong, Jordan, the United States, India, Ecuador, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Sweden and Canada. 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 conflict management, 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.</p>
