The African Experience with Higher Education
Autor J.F. Ade Ajayi Contribuţii de Lameck K.H. Goma, G. Ampah Johnson Autor J. F. Ade Ajayi, Lameck K. H. Gomaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2023
There have been institutions of higher learning for centuries in Africa, but the phenomenal growth has taken place in the last fifty years, first in the later days of colonialism and then in the heady days of independence and commodity boom. Without them, there would have been no development.
The three highly distinguished authors have written the first comprehensive assessment of universities and higher education in Africa south of the Sahara. As can be seen from their biographies, they draw on experience from both francophone and anglophone Africa and from teaching in both the sciences and the arts.

Recenzii
“This is a serious, solid book which covers the issues, problems and weaknesses of the African University with honesty, frankness and a certain toughmindedness … it is obviously intended as a plea to African universities and their staff and students, and to governments and politicians to set aside power struggles that are destroying the African universities from both the inside and the outside."—Clive Wake, former Secretary to the Committee of Vice-Chancellors, London
