Higher Education in Postcolonial Africa: Paradigms of Development, Decline and Dilemmas

By Michael Oladejo Afolayan

Discusses Africa higher education in terms of both achievement and problem. Far from being content with a superficial description of the current state of affairs, contributors offer insights as to how institutes of higher education should be restructured. Every paper makes it clear that while there are no ready-made solutions the goals remain the same - to make the institutions financially sustainable and to remain once or again available to highly gifted students whatever their income and social status.
