Life by itself is a University. Where people learn everything. Present higher education requires commitment of time from the person, but for some higher education seekers, time was already allocated to work to fulfill basic needs.
What if we bring higher education to work places? So that peoples looking for higher education work to fulfill their basic needs and as the same time attend their higher education in work places. Higher education providing institution will closely work with different work providing institutions, they may work with such center/ they may consider it as practical campus.
E.g. engineering university uses selected garages/factories other related work places as their practical education campus. Business universities use audit firms/service providers as their practical education compass.
In such partnerships the university and the work environment will agree to provide higher education for employees working there. One option could be every day employees attending 30 minutes- 1 hour tutorial (either by qualified worker from the company, or by mobile lecture to be assigned by university). Suitable/cost effective/efficient ways may be arranged.
Benefits of such approach are -1. For employees higher education is more accessible with minimum cost (as they will pay some amount). – 2. The company can benefit from continuous practice of theoretically thought sciences. 3. The higher education institution can achieve its mission with some profit, or at least without loss. 4. The linkage between working company and higher education will add value to the countries higher education.
