Many people believe that when it comes to admissions, the more selective a university is the better it is. Higher education must evolve beyond this outdated notion that exclusivity equals excellence.

This mindset restricts opportunities to a privileged few, reinforcing inequality and limiting societal progress.

True excellence lies in promoting social mobilityโ€”creating pathways for all students, regardless of their background, to succeed.

By embracing inclusivity, institutions such as hashtag#UoPeople foster diverse perspectives, drive innovation, and contribute to a more equitable society.

Education should be a catalyst for change, not a gatekeeper of privilege.
Wherever you are in the world, if this is your wakeup or stay awake cup, take a minute to share hashtag#CoffeeWithShai.
