Strategies for Securing Equity and Success in Higher education

IAU 2011 International Conference, Strategies for securing Equity in Access and Success in Higher Education, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya, 17‐18 November 2011.
The theme of the Conference is in line with the IAU Policy Statement on Equitable Access and Success in Quality Higher Education adopted at the IAU General Conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands in 2008. It has been chosen in order to provide higher education leaders with an opportunity to actively take part in a global reflection on strategies that should be elaborated in order to ensure increased equitable access to higher education and guarantee the best possible success to the students enrolled.
The IAU invites all higher education leaders to come and participate in this important Conference to move from statement to action and discuss the Association’s action plan and new services in this area.
The economic, historical and cultural context that couches higher education policies is of utmost importance in this area. Equally central in designing strategies for equitable access and success are such matters as the demographic make-up of the population in terms of ethnicity, languages, race and age. Furthermore, achieving the goals of equity in access and success requires the full participation of all higher education stakeholders – leadership, faculty members, staff and students. Thus speakers and presenters will be identified carefully to ensure wide representation and broad expertise.
