Fr. Basilio Monteiro, Head of Division of Mass Communications and Director of Post-Graduate Studies in International Communications and Senior Fellow of Vincentian Centre for Church and Society at St. John’s University, New York, delivered a lecture to the faculties of St. Xavier’s College, Mapusa, on “Higher Education in a Globalized Economy”, a topic of great relevance in the context of education in the present times.
Elaborating on the topic, he stated that educational systems are built for a time and not for all time, thereby the need to adapt wisely and well to changing conditions.
