Advancing Transnational Higher Education in Ethiopia
Ethiopia boasts more than a million students in its burgeoning higher education sector which has witnessed phenomenal growth over the last two decades. In this context, transnational higher education (TNHE) has been widely touted as a viable means of addressing human resource capacity building needs and quality educational provisions. Using documentary analysis, survey questionnaire and structured interviews as principal data sources, this study …
The treacherous adventure of ranking African universities
Africa has witnessed a phenomenal growth of its higher education system in the last decade. In a number of countries, the sector has quadrupled while in a few countries a growth of more than 10 and 20 times have been recorded in a span of a decade. The march from elite to mass system has started with vengeance. This, however, has wrought about a multitude of challenges with considerable impact on the quality of the sector. As it happens, this gro…
Private higher education in Ethiopia
Private higher education institutions operate amidst a litany of risks that can affect their operations and threaten their existence. This study was conducted to identify and analyze the nature and types of risks faced by Ethiopian private higher education institutions through the perspectives of their own academics. The findings revealed that the major types of risks faced by private higher education institutions relate to the broader areas of p…
A balancing act
This article examines the University Education Induction Programme (UEIP), an academic development programme, delivered at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The authors, who developed and now facilitate the UEIP, deliver the programme to early career academics and senior academics as per a senate-mandated requirement. Drawing on Kolb’s experiential model of learning and Knowles’ ideas of andragogy, the article interrogates how indivi…
Conclusion
African higher education has witnessed phenomenal enrollment growth in the last decade – and this trend is expected to continue well into the future owing to the continent’s youth bulge. In this ‘massifying’ system, the academic profession faces a paradox: as the academic profession at the senior level is aging it is also concurrently growing younger at the lower level. The situation is serious in the newer institutions – which are dominated by a…

Early career academics in Africa - induction into the teaching praxis
For all the debates and dialogues on ‘massification’ and revitalizing of higher education in Africa, little to no attention has been afforded to the state of the teaching praxis of academics in the

Chapitre 6. Unleashing the Forces of the Diaspora Capitalizing on Brain Drain in the Era of Information and Communication Technologies
Introduction The movement of scholars from one country to another is known by numerous synonyms – Brain drain, brain hemorrhage, and also as brain circulation (Teferra, 2000). The controversy over the concept has been such that some refute concerns over the issue as emotional nationalistic nonsense (Das, 1974) while others urge for a serious commitment by some developing countries, particularly Africa, to staunch the serious outflow of their trai…
Diasporas scientifiques
Depuis quelques décennies, les pays du Sud assistent à la fuite de leurs « cerveaux » vers les pays du Nord, un phénomène préjudiciable à la formation de leurs cadres et de leurs élites scientifiques nationales, inquiétant pour leur développement. Cependant, on observe depuis quelques années un processus qui pourrait compenser pour partie cette fuite de matière grise. En effet, par des apports informels, les communautés expatriées aident, conseil…
