National policy & a regional response in South African higher education

"This study looks at measures taken in the Eastern Cape to provide the higher educational institutions in a region of high poverty and high unemployment with strategic co-operation scenarios for post-school education (Fort Hare College & Rhodes University, two of South Africa's historic institutions of higher education, are both in the Eastern Cape.)" "The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa, commissioned case studies of higher education provision in Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, as part of its effort to stimulate enlightened, equitable, and knowledge-based national development, and to provide guides to understanding. The studies address the environment for higher education in each country; the institutional framework (governance, finance, curricula, staffing equity, students, etc); and ongoing efforts to turn challenges into transformation."--BOOK JACKET.
