In South Africa, calls for transformation have been heard in the university since the last days of apartheid. Similar claims for quality higher education to be made available to all have been made across the African continent. In spite of this, inequalities remain and many would argue that these have been exacerbated during the Covid pandemic. Understanding Higher Education responds to these calls by arguing for a social account of teaching and learning by contesting dominant understandings of students as 'decontextualised learners' premised on the idea that the university is a meritocracy. This book tackles the issue of teaching and learning by looking both within and beyond the classroom. It looks at how higher education policies emerged from the notion of the knowledge economy in the newly democratic South Africa, and how national qualification frameworks and other processes brought the country more closely into conversation with the global order. The effects of this on staffing and curriculum structures are considered alongside a proposition for alternative ways of understanding the role of higher education in society.Understanding Higher EducationEducation, HigherEducation, Higher.378Boughey Chrissie1353844McKenna SiouxNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910504298403321Understanding Higher Education3278996UNINA02307nam 22004573 450 991088879410332120241125084506.0(CKB)5670000001009009(MiAaPQ)EBC31789551(Au-PeEL)EBL31789551(Exl-AI)31789551(OCoLC)1475018006(EXLCZ)99567000000100900920241125d2024 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFollow-Up and Community Care of the Child with a Chronic Disease1st ed.Istanbul, Turkiye :Istanbul University Press,2024.©2024.1 online resource (770 pages)9786050715958 6050715955 This book, edited by Emine Gülbin Gökçay and Gonca Keskindemirci, provides a comprehensive guide on the follow-up and community care of children with chronic diseases.
