These two volumes articulate new values and missions for African
universities, and define effective strategies to meet the
challenges. Written by some of Africa’s leading educators, Volume I
examines the implications of the neo-liberal reforms and the new
information technologies on African higher education, while Volume
II interrogates the changing social dynamics of knowledge
production, university organisation, and public service and
engagement. As the twenty first century unfolds, African
universities are undergoing change and confronting challenges which
are unprecedented. The effects of globalisation, and political and
economic pressures of liberalisation and privatisation, both
internal and external, are reconfiguring all aspects of university
life: teaching, research, and their public service functions; such
that the need to redefine the roles of the African universities,
and to defend their importance have become paramount. At the same
time, the universities must themselves balance demands of autonomy
and accountability, expansion and excellence, diversification and
differentiation, and internationalisation and indigenisation. In a
climate in which scholarship and production are increasingly
dependent on ICTs, and are becoming globalised, the universities
must address the challenges of knowledge production and
dissemination. The need to indigenise global scholarship, to their
own requirements, meanwhile is ever- pressing.
