One of the standing conundrums of
educational policy in Africa in the last fifteen years has
been how to provide good quality higher education to large
numbers, equitably but without undue dependence on public
resources. Now, from Makerere University in Uganda, comes an
instructive demonstration of new possibilities for solving
this conundrum. In the past seven years, Makerere has
reversed the plant decay and capacity loss of the 1970s and
1980s, and moved from the brink of collapse to a point where
it can again aspire to become the pre-eminent intellectual
and capacity building resource in Uganda and the wider
region. It has more than doubled student enrolment,
instigated major improvements in the physical and academic
infrastructure and drastically reduced its traditional
financial dependence upon the state. This has been achieved
despite declining financial support from government but in a
national context of economic growth and political stability.
The contribution of the World Bank has been a set of
programs supporting the macro-economic and governmental
reforms which have reinforced the context of institutional change. |
