Private Higher Education and Public Policy in Africa (eBook, PDF)

A Contrasting Case of Nigeria and Botswana

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Private higher education and public policy are recurring themes in international higher education discourse. In Africa, the field of private higher education is still in its infancy in relation to development in other regions of the world. This in turn, calls for an understanding of its evolution and dynamics both for the benefit of African research community and international stakeholders. Many country-case studies in Africa are still required. This book is a response to this need by focusing on two African countries namely Nigeria (in West Africa) and Botswana (in Southern Africa). The book contributes to the growing stock of knowledge on private higher education in Africa, and thereby, provides a useful basis for validating global generalizations on private higher education. Among the issues discussed are the nature, growth and types of private higher education institutions; state of private higher education in the five sub-regions of Africa; the emergence of private higher education in Nigeria and Botswana; the debate over the desirability of private higher education institutions amidst widespread poverty; ownership profile of private higher education institutions in Nigeria and Botswana; their enrollment capacity and potentials; sustainability questions; effectiveness of quality assurance agencies; and lastly the issue of public policy and the future of private higher education in Africa.
