Universities and Economic Development in Africa
edited by Nico Cloete, Tracy Bailey, Pundy Pillay
A previous edition of Universities and Economic Development in Africa studied eight African countries and their flagship universities. In addition to minor updates, this edition includes a new section on the key findings in each of the eight countries and universities. In each case, this new section provides more detailed data and analysis which will prove invaluable for researchers and policy-makers on higher education in Africa. The eight countries included in the study are Uganda, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania.
