This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify factors of leadership and governance in Ethiopian private higher education institutions (HEIs) that result in a poor or decaying quality of education in those institutions. The study was initiated at a time when higher education in the country was under scrutiny and especially private HEIs were being held to account by the public and the government. The study explored how key governance or leadership factors in private HEIs may contribute to a poor or declining quality of education and the extent to which leaders of private HEIs agree that appropriate governance can reverse poor or declining quality in the country's HEIs. The research employed a qualitative case study methodology to obtain data from private HEI leaders whose institutional head offices were in the city of Addis Ababa. It used document review, field notes, and observation to enable triangulation of the findings with other publicly available information. Results indicated that leaders of private HEIs are continuously challenged to balance government requirements and stakeholder demands in an environment where underfunding, a scarcity of qualified instructors, poor infrastructure, marginally or less-qualified students, and a disparate regulatory environment are facts of life. Based on these results, recommendations for leaders, policy makers, and regulators of HEIs include ensuring availability and proper utilization of qualified instructors, adequate infrastructure, an autonomous quality assurance unit in each HEI, and more equable regulation and enforcement of provisions across the higher education sector. Instituting these measures will help to ensure that all Ethiopian HEIs meet the country's needs for a citizenry capable of 21st-century economic development.Keywords: Educational governance, quality education, relevance, private and public educational institutions, quality factors, leadership role, quality assurance, challenges to quality education

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify factors of leadership and governance in Ethiopian private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that result in a poor or decaying quality of education in those institutions. The study explored how key governance or leadership factors in private HEIs may contribute to a poor or declining quality of education and the extent to which leaders of private HEIs agree that appropriate governance can reverse poor or declining quality in the country's HEIs. Results indicate that leaders of private HEIs are continuously challenged to balance government requirements and stakeholder demands in an environment where under-funding, scarcities of qualified instructors, poor infrastructure, less-qualified students, and a challenging regulatory environment are facts of life. Based on these results, recommendations for leaders, policy makers, and regulators of HEIs include ensuring availability and proper utilization of qualified instructors, adequate infrastructure, autonomous quality assurance units, and more equitable regulation and enforcement provisions across the higher education sector. For quality to have sufficient roots, it requires long term plan, adequate time, persistent follow-up and proper evaluation of success or failure. To adhere to this and participate in the delivery of quality education - that produces knowledge as public goods, requires the governance of HEIs with greater access to higher education and modification actions be accomplished without compromising the one and only one key element, i.e. QUALITY.

Download or read book Becoming Middle Class written by Markus Roos Breines and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ethnography of urban-to-urban migration and its role in middle-class formation in Ethiopia. Through an examination of the intersections and tensions between physical movement and social mobility, it considers how young Tigrayan people’s migration between urban centres made them distinct from both international migrants and non-migrants. Based on fieldwork in Adigrat and Addis Ababa, it focuses on these young people’s notions of progress, experiences of higher education and ethnic tensions to demonstrate how their movements enabled them to enhance their economic, social and symbolic capital while their cultural capital remained largely unchanged. The book provides new insights into the opportunities and constraints for upward social mobility and argues that the emergence of shared characteristics among urban-to-urban migrants led to the formation of a group that can be described as a middle class in Ethiopia.
Download or read book Higher Education in Ethiopia written by Tebeje Molla and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on higher education in Ethiopia, analysing persisting inequalities and policy responses against the backdrop of the extensive expansion and reform that the system has experienced in recent years. Drawing on empirical data generated through interviews, policy reviews and focus-group discussions, it explicates factors of structural inequality ranging from neoliberal policy orientations to repressive gender culture and geo-political peripherality. In a departure from conventional studies that consider policy a response to social problems, the book takes a critical perspective to show the constitutive role of policy, and explains how the representation of the problem of social inequality undermines equity policy outcomes in Ethiopian higher education. Not only does the book problematise the framing of the problem of inequality in the system, it also outlines strategies for designing transformative equity instruments. In explaining structural factors of inequality and equity provisions, the book productively combines sociological concepts with historical accounts and political economy insights. Given the increased economic optimism associated with higher education in sub-Saharan Africa and the neoliberal ideals underpinning much of the restructuring of the system in the region, this is a timely and important contribution that sheds light on the social justice implications and consequences of such changes. It offers fresh accounts of largely neglected qualitative cases of inequality, making it a valuable read for students and researchers in the areas of Ethiopian education policy studies, international and comparative education, and international development.
