The United Nations challenges educational institutions across the globe to engage in addressing the world’s greatest needs as outlined in its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In particular, the UN warns that “entrenched inequities in education have only worsened during the [COVID-19] pandemic”. Their Sustainable Development Goal 4, ‘Quality education’, states the desired goal clearly: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” Through the exponential growth of virtual internships, online degree and training programmes, collaborative classroom learning and virtual curricular units to enhance course syllabi, the world of global learning is available to an expanded domestic audience in ways never realised previously and, by extension, to students around the world.
