Introduction
Higher education one factor that leads to economic development and growth. Higher
learning institutions are faced with the challenge of adopting the curricula, program structures,
teaching and learning methods to account for a new necessary range of abilities. This reflection
will critically analyze two challenges faced by higher learning institutions and how I can respond
to this challenge.
Coping with reading material is one of the challenges facing higher education learning. It
affects not only postgraduate students but also undergraduate students. Some students find it
difficult to finish all weekly assigned readings (Daniel, 2015). For undergraduate students, they
require at least five articles to read each weak. Some students register up to six courses in a
semester hence making it difficult to handle the readings for the six courses ("Four Challenges
Facing Higher Education - Next", 2020). Personally, I have been doing six courses per semester
and we are offered at least three reading materials each week. This has been draining and tedious
since I also have assignments to do. To ensure that I avoid the burden of reading materials, I will
ensure that I create time to go through threading materials and write a summary of each reading
material. For instance, I can spare two in the evening and in the morning to handle the reading
materials and make a summary. This will assist not to have bulk work and focus on other
academic activities without straining.

learning in higher education settings. In higher learning institutions, there is nobody to push
students to meet their personal deadlines (Avella, et al., 2016). Most students wait until the last
