The significance of the recommendations of the working party for this study is in terms of the pace they set in legalising the development of private higher education in the country (Republic of Kenya 1981) Besides recommending the establishment of a second public university in a rural setting, three other recommendations supported higher education expansion through private resources. [...] The 1990s: The 'take off ' stage of private higher education in Kenya The conditions for the development of private higher education in Kenya evolved in the late-1970s and in the 1980s. [...] The internal trends towards the evolution of private universities were bolstered 2.kenya-edu.pmd 08/08/2008, 16:0126 27The Evolution and Development of Private Higher Education by the growing internationalisation of higher education, and the recognition in inter- national policy environments of the private sector in the provision of elite higher education institutions. [...] The admission of private students to public universities, the commercialisation of academic pro- grammes and the corporate manner in which the programmes are managed constitute the privatisation of public universities in Kenya. [...] The success of the university in terms of enrolments and the projection of its image lies in a balanced articulation of the university's commer- cial objectives and the academic aspirations of its students.

5.kenya-edu.pmd 5 Conclusion: Challenges and Prospects for Private Higher Education in Kenya as regards Equity, Research and Knowledge Production Introduction The privatisation of public universities and the entry of private higher education institutions in Kenya constitute critical period in a strategy for the development of higher education in the country. [...] Rather the intention is to identify existing challenges and seek to marry the goals of private higher education providers with the aspirations of the society in which they operate. [...] The relationship between the curricula in private universities and the national context in which the missions of the universities need to be ingrained poses another challenge to private higher education in Kenya. [...] The lack of established postgraduate courses, the quality of students, the orientation of lecturers and the lack of funds from the government and the private sector combine to diminish research at private and privatising public universities. [...] In the overall perspective, the operation of private universities and programmes has not integrated equity policies that are increasingly contributing to the determination of the quality of institutions and programmes.

Governments around the world, and particularly those in developing countries, face significant educational challenges. Despite progress in raising education enrollments at the basic education level, much remains to be done. Today, about 77 million children in developing countries are not in school, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Higher education participation rates remain low in many developing countries, and public higher education institutions (HEIs) struggle to absorb growing numbers of secondary school graduates. Public universities face ongoing challenges, including a lack of teaching and research resources, and the loss of qualified staff to developed countries. The inability of public sector educational institutions, particularly in developing countries, to absorb growing numbers of students at all levels of education has seen the emergence of private schools and HEIs. This paper briefly examines the international experience concerning the regulation of private education at the school and higher education level. It begins with an overview of the private school and higher education sectors and a short discussion of the potential benefits of increased private participation in education. The remainder of the paper focuses on the following questions and sets out propositions for governments to consider.

This nine-country study of higher education financing in Africa includes three East African states (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), five countries in southern Africa (Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa), and an Indian Ocean island state (Mauritius). Higher Education Financing in East and Southern Africa explores trends in financing policies, paying particular attention to the nature and extent of public sector funding of higher education, the growth of private financing (including both household financing and the growth of private higher education institutions) and the changing mix of financing instruments that these countries are developing in response to public sector financial constraints. 'This unique collection of African-country case studies draws attention to the remaining challenges around the financing of higher education in Africa, but also identifies good practices, lessons and common themes.

This book analyses the role of the university in working towards the Sustainable Development Goals. In contrast to the previous Millennium Development Goals, higher education is seen to have a crucial role in this new agenda. Yet how can the university fulfil these weighty expectations, and are the dominant trends in higher education supporting or undermining this vision? This book draws on the idea of the ‘developmental university’, a model characterised by its porous boundaries with society and commitment to teaching, research and community engagement in the public interest. The author examines case studies from Latin America, Africa and other regions to analyse how this model can be revived, countering recent trends of marketisation, status competition and unbundling. The book also considers alternatives to the developmental model drawing on indigenous knowledge systems, looking beyond the SDG framework to the creation of a new form of society. This timely volume will be of interest and value to those working in the field of sustainable development, and to students and scholars of comparative education, international development and higher education studies.
