UCYP University

Adaptive is the key concept to the implementation of strategies in UCYP particularly in Academic Excellence, Teaching & Learning, Research & Innovation, Students Experience, Community Engagement, Alumni Network, Branding & Marketing, Industry Engagement, Internationalization, Human Capital Development, Physical & Intellectual Infrastructure as well as Financial Sustainability. Unlike the institutional change which only focuses on the relationship between schools and their cultural environments, an adaptive institution is able to drive the institution to a direction that maintains and improves the institute to its desired state (Hughes, 2018). An adaptive institute includes participatory, inclusiveness, integrity, risk tolerance, flexibility, legitimacy, accountability, diversity, creativity, iterative, learning, autonomous, resourcefulness, self-assessing, collaborative, transparency and reflexive that should be integrated with the broader process of exposure (Koontz et. al, 2015). According to Pahl and Wostl (2009), being able to cope with multiple objectives inherent in a social-ecological system is also among the traits of an adaptive institution. The features demonstrated by an Adaptive University are relevant to the present demands of educational transformation.
