To meet social needs in every sphere of life is a very essential matter nowadays. Besides, today it is nearly impossible to imagine one’s progress or career promotion without a complete education. The humanity has always been demanding the greatest needs from educational institutions. The question most people are asking today is: How can traditional educational institutions meet the needs of today’s society?
Nowadays, innovation cycles are so fast (particularly in technological fields) that suitable studies at universities are more and more behind the trends. It is thus necessary to balance the creative grassroots developments - in particular initiated by small and medium sized companies - and the strategic interests of societies (in the field of renewable energies, for example). In order to succeed, it is crucial that both higher education institutions and corporate or societal partners speak the same language.
Traditional universities long ago set their priorities not on teaching, but on research excellence. This, of course, was a way of retrieving more funding. However, the role of universities needs to be reconsidered, in terms of the extent to which they shall contribute to a learning society.
Modern educational institutions provide a variety of professions to master. Detailed, planned curriculum is essential to teach effectively. Those professionals make the state develop and meet all citizens’ needs.
