Although impressive expansion and reform of higher education in Africa have occurred since 1990, the higher education sector across Africa has been particularly challenged to keep pace with the development of higher education worldwide. This is reflected in comparatively limited research output by African university scholars and researchers and the limited representation of African universities on world institutional rankings. Given both the perceived and real gap in research productivity and scholarly reputation between African higher education and higher education systems in other parts of the world, the question persists whether or not the African higher education sector can produce "world-class" universities. 410 0$aInternational perspectives on education and society ;$vv. 21. 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy & Social Aspects$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation$xHigher$2bisacsh 606 $aHigher & further education, tertiary education$2bicssc 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 606 $aEducation, Higher$zAfrica 615 7$aEducation$xPhilosophy & Social Aspects. 615 7$aEducation$xHigher. 615 7$aHigher & further education, tertiary education. 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy. 615 0$aEducation, Higher 676 $a378.0 701 $aWiseman$b Alexander W.$f1968-$0851927 701 $aWolhuter$b C.
