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. 517 $aUnderstanding Higher Education 606 $aEducation, Higher 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 676 $a378 700 $aBoughey$b Chrissie$01353844 702 $aMcKenna$b Sioux 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910504298403321 996 $aUnderstanding Higher Education$93278996 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03032nam 2200601 450 001 9910789672703321 005 20230421053751.0 010 $a1-283-20168-2 010 $a9786613201683 010 $a0-8264-3046-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000106683 035 $a(EBL)742692 035 $a(OCoLC)741691775 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000525908 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12231293 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000525908 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10507717 035 $a(PQKB)10819238 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC742692 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL742692 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10866876 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL320168 035 $a(OCoLC)893335672 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000106683 100 $a20140515d1996 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aStrategy and intelligence $eBritish policy during the First World War /$fedited by Michael Dockrill and David French 210 1$aLondon :$cHambledon Press,$d1996. 215 $a1 online resource (232 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-85285-099-X 327 $aContents; Preface; Acknowledgement; List of Contributors; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1 Irish Recruiting and the Home Rule Crisis of August-September 1914; 2 'Airbandit': C[sup(3)]I and Strategic Air Defence during the First Battle of Britain, 1915-18; 3 Failures of Intelligence: The Retreat to the Hindenburg Line and the March 1918 Offensive; 4 Managing the War: Britain, Russia and Ad Hoc Government; 5 Wheat and the State during the First World War; 6 The Impact of the First World War on the Labour Movement; 7 The Foreign Office Political Intelligence Department and Germany in 1918 327 $a8 Major-General J.F.C.
