| Summary: | This study explores what can be done to
overcome the current crisis of quality, relevance and
finance in African universities. It catalogues the
accomplishments of African universities, identifies current
problems, and signals likely solutions. It analyzes
pertinent experience in seven key areas where changes are
needed: university - state relations, financial
diversification, management, governance, relevance, quality
preservation, and managing the social demand for higher
education. The report also suggests how a process of higher
education reform can be initiated, and outlines
complementary roles for government, universities and donors
in the process. |
