Voters across the US, UK and Australia are worried about immigration broadly, but they do not place international students in the same category. Majorities in all three countries support maintaining or even increasing student numbers. monitor.icef.com/2025/11/the-po…

To our students, colleagues, partners, and friends across GBSB Global and beyond: your curiosity, your trust, and your willingness to challenge old models are what make this work meaningful. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a hopeful start to the new year. ✨

2025 was a great year for GBSB Global. Not due to headlines, but trust built: QS 5-Star reaccreditation, global rankings, Spain’s national recognition, a new Madrid campus, stronger research & founders supported. #Education must evolve, without losing its soul.

The UK’s return to Erasmus+ highlights the value of collaborative frameworks in promoting cultural exchange, employability, and institutional partnerships. I'm excited to see the vast array of opportunities this creates for students across the UK and EU. theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…

Thoughtful AI adoption can transform higher education. By integrating AI strategically, institutions can enhance student learning, boost engagement, and make academic and support services more responsive, strengthening long-term excellence. forbes.com/sites/avivaleg…

In a new report by Pearson, nearly half of UK teachers say students are not prepared for an #AI-driven future. Only 9% feel confident teaching AI concepts. And the training gap is already creating inconsistent digital experiences for learners. edtechinnovationhub.com/news/pearsons-…

There’s an asymmetry of speed in this new wave of government-tech partnerships. Tech is moving faster than pedagogy, policy, and evidence. #AI CAN support learning, but if we don’t define how it should shape thinking, we risk optimising for convenience instead of #education.

Proud moment for our G-Accelerator community. Huge credit to the teams behind this, and to everyone quietly working to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Catalunya. This is how innovation compounds.

#Greece has made a controversial decision to remove over 300,000 inactive students from #university rolls. This is really a question about what #highereducation systems are designed to do. greekcitytimes.com/2026/01/03/gre…

MicrobialSolutions didn’t win on slides. They won because deep science met a real problem: climate resilience in agriculture. That’s why programmes like AgriTech Impulse matter, real research, real impact. linkedin.com/posts/gbsb-glo…

Proud to see GBSB Global Business School recognised with 2 Palmes of Excellence in the 2025 Eduniversal Ranking! A meaningful milestone, and a reminder that higher education competitiveness today is built on execution, not ambition alone. linkedin.com/posts/gbsb-glo…

If learners are introduced to AI as a shortcut before they have developed critical thinking, metacognition, and social interaction skills, the long-term cost is predictable: weaker reasoning, lower tolerance for ambiguity, and reduced human-to-human engagement.

The #AI conversation in English language education is finally shifting in the right direction. We’ve moved past “Will AI replace teachers?” to more important questions: why, when, and how should AI be used at all? thepienews.com/ai-in-english-…

The most interesting part of OpenAI’s #Education for Countries initiative is the system-level approach. The real challenge in AI isn’t invention, but adoption. Education systems are where the gap between AI capability and real-world use is either closed or widened.

AI is great at the basics - reading, writing, images, speech. But humans still lead in thinking, judging, and making ethical choices. Perhaps, education shouldn’t compete with AI, it should teach students to work with it, and focus on what only humans can do.

Great to see two startups from our G-Accelerator Impact Call programme presenting at 4YFN Barcelona last week. NABLA and DIGIPAL took their ideas to one of the world’s leading startup stages. Moments like this remind us why we built the programme. elindependiente.com/economia/empre…

A few days in London with Salesforce and university peers sparked a lot of thinking about the future of the student experience. The message was clear: smarter automation and connected data matter, but the human element still has to stay at the centre.

I’ve recently revisited the OECD Skills Outlook 2025, and it really cemented how quickly the role of education is changing, right in front of us. Education is moving away from delivering qualifications and more towards long-term employability: oecd.org/content/dam/oe…

AI has already entered most classrooms. Around 60% of teachers say they now use AI in their teaching, while 35% say they don’t. That split is interesting: it shows us that AI isn’t experimental anymore, but it’s not universal either: aiprm.com/en-gb/ai-in-ed…
