EDUCATION

Many education systems are operating under significant financial constraints, with declining

enrollment in some regions and rising operational costs limiting their ability to invest in innovation or long-term improvements. At the same time, organizations such as UNESCO highlight the lack of reliable data and evidence-based decision-making as a major barrier to effective steering. Without real-time visibility into outcomes and performance, leaders often rely on reactive planning rather than strategic, data-informed governance.

The challenges of education in managing its operations

Funding pressure and data-driven governance challenges

Much of the existing infrastructure — power grids, pipelines, substations, and water networks — was built decades ago and now requires significant modernization. Utilities must decide which assets to upgrade first while ensuring uninterrupted service. At the same time, climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, storms, and floods, placing additional stress on assets and increasing the risk of outages. Utilities therefore need to plan for a future that is increasingly uncertain and different from the past.

Digital transformation gaps and workforce pressure

Although educational technology has expanded rapidly, many institutions still rely on outdated tools, traditional teaching models, and fragmented digital ecosystems. This slows the adoption of hybrid or online learning and makes large-scale modernization difficult. In parallel, teacher shortages, burnout, and skill gaps — particularly in digital pedagogy — reduce organizational capacity to implement new initiatives and maintain consistent quality across programs.

Rising student needs and equity challenges

Educational institutions are also facing growing pressure to support student well-being, including mental health needs, while addressing increasingly diverse learning profiles. Ensuring equitable access and consistent quality across different populations remains a significant challenge, requiring targeted resource allocation and stronger inclusion strategies. These demands place additional strain on already limited support services and complicate prioritization decisions.

Changing skills demands and governance complexity

The rapid evolution of the labor market, driven by artificial intelligence and digital transformation, requires curricula to adapt more quickly than many institutions can manage. At the same time, fragmented governance structures and multiple stakeholders often slow decision-making and reform implementation. To steer effectively, education leaders must develop more agile governance models capable of coordinating change across departments, campuses, and policy environments.
