Africa's Position in the Global Private Higher Education Sphere: Progress and Trajectories (Wondwosen Tamrat and Damtew Teferra). 330 $aThis edited book examines the private higher education (PHE) sector in African countries. Reports suggest that private institutions across the continent outnumber their public counterparts, yet there has been little scholarly investigation into this emerging phenomenon. The book therefore seeks to document, map and analyse key trends and contemporary themes in the PHE sector, as well as chart historical developments, policy and regulatory frameworks. As a whole, it provides the reader with in-depth knowledge, rich perspectives and robust analyses from leading authorities in the field. Contributions from all sub-regions combine thematic issues with shaping discourse on the topic, and the discussions are undertaken in the context of global perspectives. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers, analysts and development partners interested in African higher education and PHE in particular. Wondwosen Tamrat is Associate Professor of Higher Education and Founding President of St. Mary's University, Ethiopia. Damtew Teferra is Professor of Higher Education and Founding Director of the International Network for Higher Education in Africa at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aBusiness 606 $aAfrica 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aAfrican Business 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aUniversitats privades$2thub 606 $aEducació superior$2thub 607 $aÀfrica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aAfrica. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aAfrican Business. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 615 7$aUniversitats privades 615 7$aEducació superior 676 $a378.6 700 $aWondwosen Tamrat$01859948 701 $aTeferra$b Damtew$01742490 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910865284303321 996 $aEmerging Dynamics in the Provision of Private Higher Education in Africa$94464330 997 $aUNINA
