This book provides an overview of the current state of universities
in the Arab world, and how they have the potential to transform
society to raise the quality of life and stimulate wealth. The main
themes progress from general to the specific. Each chapter
providing an overview followed by factual analysis and options for
the way forward. All of the major challenges facing universities in
general are addressed with reference to issues of particular
importance in the Arab Region. The challenges faced include: the
need to accommodate a social model of life-long learning; the
desire for institutional autonomy while interacting with
governments; the availability of open-access online courses and
distance learning. Arab universities are diverse, ranging from
those entirely state-controlled and funded, to wholly independent
private universities. The quality of governmental oversight is also
variable, and some institutions are clearly unworthy of the
appellation 'university'. The book comprises of 20 chapters
authored by senior academics with a wide international experience
and a commitment to assisting the improvement of Arab higher
educational and research communities.
