This book addresses the gender divide in access to higher education
and the Ugandan situation. It examines theories of girls'
education, human capital, gender inequality and gender-development,
bringing views from Africa and its institutions to debates often
constructed and conducted in the West. Whilst commending the work
of women's movements and NGO's in furthering the educational cause,
it criticises fashionable neo-liberal economic/educational policies
which are diverting researchers not institutions, thus diminishing
local universities and women. The volume also presents the results
of a survey of female undergraduates at the University of Makerere,
which give rise to discussions about family, societal, and
institutional influences on women's access to higher education.
This is a welcome book on women in higher education written by an
African female academic, insider, and popular and outstanding
contributor to the progress of women in higher education in East
Africa.
