The Value of Education

This episode examines the value of today’s higher education system, questioning rising costs and the shift toward treating education as a commodity rather than a path to growth. The conversation explores how financial barriers reinforce social inequality and how advances in technology, especially artificial intelligence, are reshaping expectations, practices, and access. The hosts also challenge who truly benefits from the current model and who is left behind, as they explore whether higher education is adapting quickly enough to meet workforce demands without sacrificing critical thinking and creativity.Website: Social Science and Humanities Department at LCC
