Grow Your Vision
The HERA CARE Rankings signal a transformative moment in global higher education. By placing Campus Assistance, Resilience, and Engagement at the heart of institutional assessment, they challenge universities to look beyond conventional metrics of prestige. These rankings assert that the true measure of an institution lies not only in the knowledge it generates, but in the care it provides to its students.
Introduced as more than a benchmarking tool, the CARE Rankings aim to catalyze a global shift toward compassionate, resilient, and engaged education. Their purpose is not merely to classify institutions, but to inspire reform, elevate priorities, and foster meaningful change. In an era defined by complexity and uncertainty, the institutions most likely to thrive will be those that embrace a fundamental principle: to educate is to care. The HERA CARE Rankings offer both a mirror and a map - reflecting what matters and illuminating the path forward.
