It is the second year in a row that Awa Business School has secured high confidence in the government’s quality assurance audit. The school secured high confidence across its quality assurance processes and student support initiatives.

Despite being founded in 2018, it is the second time this leading UK online school, has demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement and delivery of quality programs in compliance with stringent regulatory requirements of higher education provision in the United Kingdom.

Founder and Director of Awa Business School, Dr Dayo Abinusawa has said: “I want to personally thank the Scottish Government for its school improvement mechanism and for taking the time to provide such a positive review of activities as a high-performing school.”

What's going to happen with education in 2023?

Education trends are shifting towards a more digitalised and technologically-driven approach. What can we expect from the sector in 2023? More use of AI and machine learning? Immersive learning experiences at home and in class?

In the last few years, the education sector has seen a rapid shift towards online learning, the world is transitioning toward a more digitalised, globalised, and technologically-driven economy.

As more people gain access to the internet, we expect this trend to accelerate. In fact, with the shift to a digital-led economy coupled with the rise of remote work, employers are increasingly seeking people with specialised knowledge and skills, resulting in a greater demand for online learning and reskilling programmes.

To meet this demand, companies are now creating free online courses to help individuals up-skill, re-skill, and design the career of their dreams. These courses are designed to provide employees with practical education based in real-world experiences, allowing learners to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in their chosen field.

Online learning is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenient and flexible nature. And with the prevalence of skills-based learning opportunities, people are able to learn from the comfort of their own home and at their own pace.

In 2023, we can expect to see greater demand for virtual classrooms, online courses, and digital tools to make teaching and learning more innovative and engaging.

Artificial intelligence and virtual reality

Since OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot became available earlier this week, the internet has been abuzz with commentary about the merits and dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Could education see more artificial intelligence-assisted tutoring and virtual reality (VR) simulations in 2023?

AI technology is already being used in some educational settings to personalise learning and provide students with tailored learning experiences. In addition, AI is being used to assess student performance and provide feedback to teachers. AI can also be used to create virtual tutors and personalised learning experiences.

These technologies are designed to provide students with a more immersive learning experience, allowing them to stay engaged in the material and gain a better understanding of the subject.

Additionally, VR is also being used in education, allowing students to experience simulations of real-world scenarios and environments. This can be particularly useful in subjects like science and history, where students can virtually visit different places and times to gain a deeper understanding of the material.

With the advancements in AI and VR technology, we can expect to see more schools and universities incorporating these tools into their curricula and delivery in 2023.

These technologies have the potential to make learning more interactive, engaging, and personalised, ultimately improving students’ learning experience.

What does the future hold?

The future of education looks to be increasingly digital, with a greater emphasis on online learning and the use of technology in the classroom. As the demand for skilled workers continues to grow, we can expect to see more people turning to online courses to gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their careers.

With the advancements in AI and VR technology, we can also expect to see more schools and universities using these tools to enhance the learning experience and provide students with personalized and engaging educational opportunities.

Overall, the future of education looks bright, with exciting new developments and innovations on the horizon. As the world becomes more globalised and digitalised, education will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of students and the workforce.

Virtual learning has its challenges, but we shouldn’t dismiss the opportunity to create value in emerging markets

Awa Business School is actively working to meet targets 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 of SDG 4 (Quality Education).

Over the past two years, the rapid rise of online learning has been widely discussed and debated. From early years providers in the UK to universities in Europe, Asia, and the United States of America, digital technology is transforming how we learn and teach at all levels.

In 2020, education institutions across the world were forced to shift to online learning or some form of hybrid (blended) learning, posing unique challenges for both students and instructors. From unreliable internet connections with poor signal, affecting how well we could hear each other, to that particular question of students’ attention span.

Does ‘video off, mic muted, and lunch in progress’ sound familiar to anyone? (No judgement here).

While many have argued that this digital disruption will have negative consequences for students and teachers alike, there are also opportunities that come with this change. There are many potential benefits, but there are also valid fears of the risks. As an education provider with a subsidiary literally called ‘Blended’, we understand the challenges of virtual learning but believe that the benefits ultimately outweigh the risks.

The shift to online learning was a new, challenging experience for both students and teachers

For students, it was difficult to adapt to new modes of learning or engage in class without the physical connection we had become accustomed to. For instructors, it was a strange new world where you couldn’t figure out how to check that students were actually learning something!

Imagine countries where lockdown measures eased early enough, allowing students and instructors to get back into the classroom on a hybrid learning arrangement. Both teachers and learners probably expressed sighs of relief because they no longer had to worry about those awful technical issues.

There is definitely something wonderful about being able to engage in intellectual debate face-to-face, observing emphatic gestures as people express their viewpoints. But what about non-traditional learners, learners with disabilities, and those in other parts of the world who simply have no other choice but to study online?

How do we make virtual learning work for them?

In emerging markets, virtual learning has benefits that go well beyond overcoming disruption

Online, blended, and hybrid learning are not new phenomena. They have certainly gained in popularity since 2020, but world-renowned business schools which offer ‘Global’ MBA programmes have had to find a way to make learning work for their internationally-based students. In fact, in the US, there is an institution that offers online degrees up to doctorate level. In England, there is a London university that delivers programmes in the evenings to ensure that students can learn around their work or personal life commitments.

So, why don’t we have more institutions targeting prospective students across Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, who aspire to upskill and improve their employment opportunities at a fair price with minimal disruption to their lives?

One of the biggest challenges facing students in emerging markets is the lack of access to quality learning resources

Virtual learning may not be a perfect solution, but it offers many benefits to students who otherwise could not afford it or access the best teachers and courses from anywhere in the world.

It’s a step in the right direction, but we can do more.

Education should be available to everyone. We’ve got to go beyond just providing access to knowledge and training; we need to give students the opportunity to learn at their own pace, at any time of day or night, and from anywhere in the world — without having to worry about getting up early enough before work starts so that they can make it home on time to do other things.

Online learning opens up new possibilities for how people learn best by allowing them some freedom of choice when deciding where they want their courses delivered — whether it’s a traditional university setting with lectures held on campus or through video recordings made available online.

Of course, many people are sceptical about how effective virtual learning can be compared with traditional classroom learning methods. But there’s no denying that technology is changing how we learn, so why not use it to our advantage?

With virtual learning, there are no geographic barriers to accessing education

Virtual (or hybrid) learning makes it possible for students who live in remote areas, or have other barriers preventing them from accessing high-quality education, to gain access to international-standard resources and instructors from world-renowned universities, regardless of where they live, how much they earn, and what their circumstances may be.

Our mission is directly linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 — which is to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

In a world where many people across all age groups still lack access to traditional education, virtual learning could address access issues by enabling them to pursue their studies in a way that works for them.

Students can organise learning around their work, caring responsibilities, and life ‘admin’. Teachers can reach far more students with arguably less effort than would be required in a traditional classroom setting. As digital tools and platforms become more sophisticated, learning materials and resources can be stored in the cloud and accessed on-demand and in a structured way with reasonable penalties for missed deadlines.

It is not a perfect model, and we acknowledge the difficulty of completing studies without the structure of a traditional class setting which creates discipline. But for those with the right mix of willingness, access to broadband connectivity, and opportunity (which could be based on cost, time, or delivery mode), we should celebrate the benefits of virtual and blended learning while actively working to address the challenges.

The past two years have seen remarkable adaptability from teachers, students, and parents/guardians/carers worldwide. And this is a positive thing.

Virtual learning offers flexibility, accessibility, affordability, and choice that can accelerate professional and personal development for many learners in emerging economies. However, there is still a long way to go before it becomes a viable option for everyone.

At Awa Business School, after obtaining government accreditation in 2020, we began delivering our certificate courses in April 2022, starting with six students in total (with only three students completing the assessments, making them eligible for the verified certificate). It was a small win, but a win nonetheless. We ramped up our student and tutor recruitment activities throughout the summer and are now delivering five courses this autumn.

Our current cohort is made up of a diverse group of students including self-taught entrepreneurs from rural parts of Nigeria and experienced, university-educated professionals in Malawi and South America. Each student has a different background and story, but the one thing they all share is a strong desire to upskill and take small steps to get closer to their vision of who they can be, with the right support and resources in place.

Countries Need Coherent Action Plans to Drive Competitive Educational Systems - Dayo Abinusawa

Nigeria needs a coherent action plan to drive a globally competitive educational system that develops the skills and capabilities of the youth. Dr. Dayo Abinusawa the Founder, Awa Business School said this in a recent discussion on socio-economic developments in Nigeria as it concerns "Human Capital Development".

 

He was of the view that  Nigeria as a country would have to be clear on what its key challenges are in the educational sector, and the opportunities based on the human capital it has.

 

The scholar noted that for Nigeria to reposition its tertiary education, it must have a plan that determines the direction in which it would like to go in the area of skills development and capabilities.

 

He stressed that if Nigeria is to achieve global competitiveness as a nation, it must align its tertiary education curriculum with its national development goals and strategy.

 

Speaking on the key nexus between investment in human capital and national competitiveness and development for nations like Nigeria, he emphasized the fact that countries that have been able to succeed and continue to thrive have invested significantly in developing the skills of their people so that they can be creative and innovative to develop the right products and services that have a positive impact on the economy.

 

Some of the Countries according to him include; the United Kingdom, the United States, and China, which have leveraged education to support industrialization through skills development, research, and innovation.

 

Giving an example of his experience as a Deputy Director Centre for Innovation Management, London, he mentioned that one of the interesting things he observed was how initiatives that helped to translate research outputs into products and services were eventually embarked upon.

 

He advocated for a clear link between research conducted in universities and the value addition it can provide to businesses and the government.

 

According to him "The nexus between the knowledge created and the application of knowledge is very critical for education and economic development".


On the Triple Helix adopted by Nigeria which is designed to bring synergy between University, Industry, and Government, Dr. Abinusawa noted that as a community it was important to have a clear vision, on the direction of the country in terms of skills development.

 

"Initiatives that would help to ensure that the government achieves its aims and objectives should be set up and formulated, also such initiatives should be refined as things progress to ensure corrective actions are implemented", Abinusawa said.  

 

Speaking further, he said the focus of Awa Business School was to make education accessible  removing the impediments of finance through competitive prices

 

Reflecting on the COVID-19  pandemic, Abinusawa highlighted the fact that when most countries went into lockdown; Awa Business School was at the forefront of moving to online degree programmes with systems in place which only had to be refined with existing technologies to facilitate the process.

 

However, he noted that technology can serve as an impediment to education delivery as the absence of high-quality internet can be challenging, but he mentioned that sessions from Awa Business School could be accessed offline with curated physical material.

 

He added, "The program at Awa Business school creates a significant opportunity for individuals who are willing to save money and aspire to build a career in the UK within a short time".

 

From a historical perspective, Abinusawa said the UK has maintained its fundamental guiding principles of tertiary education which is to serve the public interest.

 

Providing insight into the policy approach, he said the UK government plays a key role in regulating higher education institutions, setting a threshold requirement that the institution must meet.

 

He mentioned that the UK government is proactive when it comes to supporting, encouraging, and facilitating institutions that could add value to the economy.

 

He mentioned two things that drive program delivery in Awa Business School as;

  1. Quality in terms of academic standards and

  2. Practicality in terms of knowledge that is being shared within the classroom.

Higher Education Provider Update

Accreditation

Further to the statement below in July 2020, Awa Business School is pleased to announce that it has received Government approval.

Under United Kingdom legislation, Awa Business School received full accreditation and approval in September 2020. Our Advanced Diploma in Business is accredited under the Education (Scotland) Act 1996 as amended by the Scottish Parliament in 2002.

30 December 2020

Statement from Dr Dayo Abinusawa:

“In 2018, the team at Awa Business School welcomed the Government’s challenge to provide higher education students in the UK with choice and value for money, and working tirelessly, developed an undergraduate level education programme over the past 2 years. Sadly, after receiving an unfavourable update from the regulatory body for higher education,  the programme will now not be immediately available.

We do not regret our contribution to the national effort, and I am hopeful that our education programme will help meet the provision deficiencies in other countries. However, this will require further time and investigation, and additional resources.

The project has been self-funded to date. I will continue to finance this effort and have no intention of receiving public funds. The team worked tirelessly and, in certain cases, within short time frames to design and produce a high-quality curriculum for higher education provision. I am grateful for their commitment and expertise, and hope they can feel a sense of pride in playing a role to make education accessible.”

LONDON 30 April 2020: Awa Business School London (ABSL), the online business school, is supporting learners through the Coronavirus Learning Interruption Private Tuition Scheme.

Dr Dayo Abinusawa, Awa Business School London’s Head of Strategy, said: “We are living in unprecedented times. Learners, their parents and guardians who have poured out their hearts, and not to mention, hard-earned money, into quality education are crying out for help. The important thing now is to get lessons to them at home. We’re delighted to have been able to play a part in supporting government response to contain the spread of this pandemic.”
