He said,  “They’re scared of making the wrong choice for their children, and that fear leads to default decisions like ‘you’re good at biology, so become a doctor.’ We bring parents into the conversation, encouraging dinner-table discussions that start with the query: ‘What excites you?’”]]></image:caption>

Under the Med Educare brand today, Dr Bhushan's legacy continues in Dubai, even as the organisation operates three accredited MD programmes in Georgia and a medical university in Barbados, offering pathways to the US. It also launched a unique nursing programme in Georgia, partnering with the German government and designed to address Europe’s healthcare labour shortage. “Students train in Georgia while learning German, and finish their degree in Germany, where they’re eligible to work and live,” Karpe explained. “It’s a sustainable model that benefits both students and the countries in need of qualified professionals.”]]></image:caption>

<image:caption><![CDATA[ Highlighting how - and how often - universities update curricula to meet changing industry requirements, Minhas of Kaplan Middle East and North Africa, said, “Historically, education has lagged behind industry, but that’s finally changing. Many institutions are now revising programmes quarterly instead of annually, especially in tech-driven fields.” However, he also cautioned that keeping up with industry specs wasn't enough and that collaboration is a must. "Universities, employers, and students need to co-create what education looks like,” he added]]></image:caption>

<image:caption><![CDATA[ Professor Kaka of Curtin University Dubai had a succinct response to what it is that employers look for today in candidates. “Employers want job-ready graduates. That means critical thinking, communication skills, leadership, and the ability to work in teams. GPA alone no longer makes the cut.” Stating how Curtin University Dubai was up to speed in equipping its students in these areas by embedding these competencies directly into the curriculum, Professor Kaka added, “Through industry collaboration, real-world projects and research from our Future of Work Institute, we’re preparing students for what lies ahead, not what’s already passed.”]]></image:caption>
