The successor to the millennial generation, Gen Z, has long carried the tag of being an entitled, online addict generation that lacks social skills to thrive in real-life situations. But there is so much more to the Gen Z cohort than these misconceptions spread by popular media.
Born between the mid-90s to early 2000s, generation Z forms 32 percent of the world population. Apart from being tech-savvy multi-taskers, they also have higher IQ as compared to any of the previous generations. Since Gen Z spends a lot of time on mobile devices, it is not surprising that they prefer interactive forms of communication over passive ones.

To cater to the higher-ed needs of Gen Z, educational institutions need to overhaul rigid systems and outdated teaching techniques.
