	<title>Student safety should be part of the learning experience</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/student-safety-should-be-part-of-the-learning-experience-297847a</link>
	<description>For many young adults, starting tertiary education marks their first experience of living and travelling independently. As students settle into unfamiliar environments – both on their campus and in the areas that surround it – personal safety becomes fundamental to their ability to focus on their studies, build relationships, and participate fully in their learning experience.</description>

They compel leaders to look beyond accreditation requirements, curriculum structures, and labour market trends and ask what kind of society is being shaped through education.</description>
