Florencia,
Cultural mobility of students between countries is also drastically impacting the curricular programs of universities as well as the rapid technological changes affecting the global job market that you describe. Universities are being impacted by increasing enrollments and decreasing financial support. This vice grip of rapid change and rapid decrease in funding is putting pressure on how to tool and skill up to meet demands of preparing students for the job market and for preparing them for advanced degrees. Culturally diverse student populations are also creating challenges for social equity and justice through preparing faculty, students, and communities to be multicultural in their perspectives.
