Coastal institutes ramp up online program offerings

On the coast of a major Asian nation, higher‑education providers have significantly expanded their online and blended‑learning offerings. Over 10,000 students from more than 50 countries are currently enrolled in existing postgraduate and certificate programs—while new free‑scholarship initiatives are enabling hundreds of learners from Africa to graduate. Ambitious plans are in place to scale up and enrol tens of thousands more over the next five years. Additional institutions are gearing up to launch specialized online MBA and computer‑science programs pending approval. These developments underscore a commitment to digital transformation and global inclusion.
