This volume focuses on the recent lessons of experience with reform
and innovation in higher education that are most relevant to the
challenges of developing countries. These lessons are explored in a
series of twelve papers which analyze experience and issues in four
priority areas. The first examines the relationship between higher
education and development in a global environment in which economic
growth is expected to be driven increasingly by scientific and
technological innovation. To meet this development challenge
effectively, systems of higher education will need to have a solid
financial basis, and the second priority area is the examination of
the options for reform in higher education financing. Yet, as
essential as financial reforms, are reforms in management and
government. This implies changes in the relationship between the
Government and institutions of higher education. The third part
examines these evolving relationships and implies that the
mechanisms and indicators will need to be developed to more
effectively monitor the performance of institutions of higher
education. The final section reviews recent trends in this area and
the book concludes with a case study of the effects of the
implementation of a comprehensive reform in Chile including many of
the reform policies advocated, and a proposal of the central
options for policy reform and innovation in higher education.
