Download or read book Higher Education in Development written by Kate Ashcroft and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will interest readers learning about or developing strategies for improving higher education systems and institutions in developing countries. It provides an insight into sub-Saharan African higher education systems and sets out the ways that they are developing and changing. It explores the dilemmas inherent in a context of scarce resources with increasing and urgent demands for a more professionalized workforce and expert services. It examines the factors inhibiting development such as HIV/AIDS, gender issues, historical conflicts, cultural attitudes inimical to innovation, the challenges created by poor infrastructure, and the history of colonialism and authoritarianism and their legacy of centralized control and lack of autonomy and democracy. The book explores lessons from research into sub-Saharan African higher education that may be applied to other contexts. The authors have lived and worked in sub-Saharan Africa and the book draws on the authors’ personal experience of higher education in Zambia, Ethiopia, The Yemen and their links in Mozambique and South Africa as well as extensive senior management experience and at the highest level within sub-Saharan higher education systems. It uses actual examples and a reflective ‘case study’ approach to describe reforms, and from these, develops ideas as to how to improve the effectiveness of higher education as a means to fight poverty.

Download or read book The Development of Higher Education and Social Change written by Teshome G. Wagaw and published by MSU Press African. This book was released on 1990 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Begun more than a decade ago while their author taught at the Ethiopian National University, this study examines the development of the institutions of higher education and the roles they played in transforming traditional Ethiopian society. Wagaw sets out to prove that, although other modernizing institutions of learning may contribute significantly to social and economic change, institutions of higher education and their students already have effected profound revolution and proven indispensable to the established order. His study argues that Ethiopian institutions of higher education were germane to the emerging society. They led Ethiopia down an often unpeaceful path from its oppressively traditional past toward progress and enlightenment.

Download or read book The Role of Governance in Quality of Education in Private Higher Education Institutions written by Arega Yirdaw and published by . 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
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 209 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.

Download or read book Linking Higher Education and Economic Development written by Pundy Pillay and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2010 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finland, South Korea and the state of North Carolina in the United States are three systems that successfully have harnessed higher education in their economic development initiatives. Common to the success of all these systems is, amongst others, the link between economic and education planning, quality public schooling, high tertiary participation rates with institutional differentiation, labour market demand, cooperation and networks, and consensus about the importance of higher education for development. Linking higher education and economic development: Implications for Africa from three successful systems draws together evidence on the three systems, synthesises the key findings, and distils the implications for African countries. The project on which the book is based forms part of a larger study on Universities and Economic Development in Africa, undertaken by the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (HERANA). HERANA is co-ordinated by the Centre for Higher Education Transformation in South Africa.
