Whilst many studies have explored how quality in higher education
is conceptualised in the Global North, less attention has been paid
to quality in higher education in Africa and the Global South. This
book uses the human development and capabilities approach to
demonstrate how quality in teaching and learning contributes to a
range of benefits, such as improved wellbeing, economic outcomes,
political engagement, and human capital formation amongst
graduates. The book interrogates the various dimensions of quality
as well as factors that impact on the realisation of quality in
universities and society at large. Recognising that measures of
quality are context and stakeholder specific, the book uses the
Zimbabwean context as a Global South case study. It evaluates how
quality is conceptualised and operationalised in Zimbabwean
universities, and how that impacts on teaching and learning policy
and practice. The book also demonstrates the need for economic
resources for individuals and universities, and emphasises the
importance of a social and educational environment conducive to
critical learning, and post-university opportunities. This book
will be of interest to researchers across Education, African and
Development Studies, as well as to policymakers and practitioners
with an interest in quality assurance and the promotion of teaching
and learning in universities in the Global South.
