Education Industry Statistics

In recent years, the education sector has experienced dramatic changes, largely due to the development of technology and the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, education is more tech-oriented, with virtual learning taking precedence over in-person instruction. Despite these shifts, education remains essential, particularly in higher education.

Thus, we are examining key global education statistics to help students and institutions alike adjust to a more digital and flexible learning landscape.

Top Education Trends

The world is changing rapidly, and so must our approach to education. We have been accustomed to spending a lot of our early years in a classroom, but the quick rate of evolution requires us to adopt life-long learning and various technologies. Over the next year and beyond, these are the most significant trends which will shape the transformation of education.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can have a significant impact on the classroom, providing students and teachers with virtual assistants to help manage their time, personalized learning experiences, and the ability to power remote and online learning systems. It can also facilitate language translation in educational settings where students speak different languages. UNESCO believes that AI has the potential to address global educational inequalities and improve access to knowledge around the world. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges that must be addressed to ensure the technology is deployed fairly and doesn't worsen existing inequalities.

Remote, Online, & Hybrid Learning

Learning that takes place remotely, online, and through hybrid formats is becoming increasingly common in educational institutions, allowing students to access educational materials and experiences regardless of their physical location. This makes education more accessible to those living in isolated or rural areas, while also providing an opportunity for those with busy lives to keep their skills up-to-date. The rapid pace of technological advancement has made it necessary for people to frequently update their skills, leading to the emergence of new forms of learning such as micro-learning or nano-learning.

Soft Skills & STEM

In the near future, STEM education will increasingly incorporate soft skills such as communication, teamwork, creative thinking, interpersonal problem-solving, relationship management, and conflict resolution. These human skills are invaluable to employers and industry, and are unlikely to be replaced by machines any time soon. As such, organizations will need to measure and assess these skills to ensure their success. As a result, STEM education will place greater emphasis on soft skills and will make efforts to measure and assess their organizational capabilities in this area.

Vocational & Technical Education

High schools are expected to allocate more of their resources to prepare students for alternative paths than the usual college courses. Vocational and technical courses that provide a wide range of skills are set to become more prevalent as schools collaborate with employers to create new solutions to address the current skills gap. Today still, schools prioritize the minority group of high school graduates that go on to study at college at the expense of those who are opting for apprenticeships, on-the-job training and other non-traditional methods of furthering their education. As the labor market continues to move away from only requiring college-educated individuals and towards seeking people with the required skills, schools must adapt accordingly.

Virtual & Augmented Reality

VR and AR are two forms of extended reality (XR) that are becoming increasingly important within educational systems. With VR, users can enter a virtual world and experience a variety of "experiences" such as stepping back in time and experiencing history or training for dangerous tasks. It can also be used for virtual classrooms and healthcare training. AR requires a device but is different as it superimposes computer-generated images onto what the user is actually seeing, which can provide real-time information. AR textbooks are becoming available that contain images and models that "come alive" when viewed through a smartphone camera, and museums and sites of interest are adding AR to create more immersive education opportunities.

Our Insights

In the Media

Dr Markus Venzin, CEO, EHL Group, says hospitality’s next generation will be looking to lead the sector in a new way with a fresh set of values.

What role do you see EHL playing for the hospitality sector across the world and India in particular?  

As the world’s best hospitality management school with 125 nationalities among its student body, we aim to walk the talk and continue shaping the hospitality industry globally. For this, we provide top-quality Swiss education to our students on our campuses in Switzerland and Singapore, whilst also partnering with industry bodies, institutions and governments to raise the standards of service excellence worldwide via training and certification schemes. 

Staying true to our Swiss dual education heritage, we have established partnerships with industry bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), ITC Hotels, and IHCL (Taj Hotels) to create a robust talent development pipeline for the Indian hospitality industry. Our approach includes delivering vocational education and training programmes (VET by EHL programmes) through an apprenticeship framework to both new and existing workforce, with the training being provided both within and by the industry. 

CII Institute of Hospitality currently offers VET by EHL programmes across seven licensed partner hotels or training centres. It is projected that by the end of 2023, 750 students will be enrolled in the VET by EHL Professional Diploma Programme. Raising the standards of service excellence in India represents a real chance to attract more tourists, enhance the country’s reputation as a hospitality destination, and contribute to its economic growth. This is even more relevant in the post-Covid environment and with India currently hosting the G20 Leaders’ Summit in 2023 when domestic travel and hospitality will strengthen further.  

On a personal note, I’m looking forward to this event since I’ve been invited to be part of the G20 task force to discuss ideas on the future of work, upskilling and mobility.

2022年，酒店业进入疫情后的第三年，经历了漫长的等待，世界各地的主要旅游市场及酒店集团正慢慢恢复生机。随着行业的发展和进步，如今的泛酒店管理早已不再局限于酒店领域，它以“满足顾客未表达的需求”“为客户提供美好记忆”的服务理念延伸至旅游、咨询、航空、奢侈品管理等其他领域，形成了“泛服务业”。

作为泛服务业专业教育的先驱者和开拓者，创建于1893年的EHL酒店管理商学院（其前身为：洛桑酒店管理学院）旨在以多元化视野，着力培养在酒店、旅游、会展、奢侈品、金融、零售，以及其他相关领域的国际化泛酒店管理人才。其先进的人才培养模式和不断革新的教育理念——EHL模式，也已经成为国际公认的培养酒店及泛服务行业人才的成功标杆。根据QS世界大学排名，该学院被公认为全球领先的泛酒店管理大学。作为终身学习的有力支持者，EHL在瑞士和新加坡的三个校区提供了一系列领先的教育项目，从学徒制教育到硕士学位项目，以及专业教育和高管教育。  

从2014年至今，“EHL”走进中国，不仅顺利推广了“泛服务业”的概念，而且逐步打开了中国的教育开发、企业培训、咨询顾问等市场。近期，洛桑酒店管理学院集团咨询公司大中华区首席董事鲍琛，围绕泛服务业中的变与不变之道与福布斯中国进行了交流对话。

Marriott brand Ritz-Carlton and Patina Hotels & Resorts claim they are together pioneering a new employee training program with the EHL Hospitality Business School in the Maldives.

The historic Swiss education specialist is making its debut in the Indian Ocean island paradise, working alongside Singapore-based property developer Pontiac Land Group, which has established a new three-year program to help the two hotels train, as well as retain, employees.

EHL’s apprenticeship traditionally lasts 18 months, but this bespoke program has a longer duration in a bid to keep students for longer.

The approval by the Union Cabinet in July 2020 of India’s new National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) has filled me with hope for India’s youth. The NEP 2020 aims to create an education system that is more student-centric, giving flexibility to students to pursue their passion while at the same time enhancing their skills. If implemented properly, this policy will ultimately enable our youth to become more employable.

Since its launch, the new policy has been met with some criticism, despite it being hard to argue that the approach to education in India, which had been stagnant since 1986 (over 34 years!), needed a serious overhaul. However, I believe that this policy will open new doors for our youth. Not simply because it introduces an approach that is new, but because it introduces an approach that has already proven to be quite successful in other countries. I experienced it first-hand at  Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL)  in Switzerland, the world leading hospitality management university, where their dual education approach (combining practical and theoretical learning) results in very high youth employment rates. A quick note to those who might hold the opinion that what works in other countries does/may not work in India – agreed, however we are not talking about verbatim application of a potential solution here; we must learn from others and contextualize for local application as long as the contextualization does not lead us to create nothing beyond a repackaging of what we have been applying for the last several decades and which clearly is not producing the desired outcomes.

Deux écoles renommées s’implanteront ces prochaines années sur la Côte d’Azur. La destination tient sa force des évènements internationaux qu’elle accueille et de sa forte activité touristique, en saison estivale, mais également le reste de l'année.

La Côte d’Azur est donc naturellement un gros pourvoyeur d’emplois dans l’hôtellerie restauration. Les écoles hôtelières y sont déjà très actives, mais les projets semblent se multiplier pour créer un nouveau vivier de candidats locaux.

L’EHCA à Saint-Raphaël

Fruit d’un partenariat entre la prestigieuse École Hôtelière de Lausanne et Le Boutique Hôtels Collection, la future École Hôtelière de la Côte d’Azur (EHCA), devrait voir le jour à Saint-Raphaël dans le Var à la rentrée 2025.
C’est l’annonce enthousiasmante de Bastien Deschamps et Christophe San José, co-fondateurs du groupe hôtelier.
