This book explores the prospects for higher education development
in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. Adopting a
South-South perspective (from the viewpoint of a developing
country), it seeks to promote a deeper understanding of this
colourful and highly diverse, yet volatile region. As such, it
examines six selected MENA countries that serve as case studies for
identifying the gaps and challenges as well as their potentials in
terms of higher education development. Based on expert interviews
and focus-group discussions with more than 85 individuals across
the six countries and complemented by related facts and figures
from both international and national documents, it presents an
in-depth discussion and analysis of the countries' respective
political, security, and economic situations. These serve as
preconditions for the cultivation of an environment conducive to
facilitating the advancement of higher education. It also provides
a critical overview of higher education in these countries, notably
in terms of the current national system, legislative framework,
accreditation, quality assurance, recognition concerns, and other
critical issues that enable and/or constrain the development of
their respective higher education sectors, and that of the region,
as a whole.
