Corruption – One of the challenges facing higher education harmonisation

By Sharon Dell – Acting Africa Editor. In Africa Features, Francis Kokutse interviews Association of African Universities (AAU) Secretary General Professor Etienne Ehile about the challenges facing the move towards harmonised quality systems in higher education, one of these being corruption.
   Staying with the AAU, in Features, Munyaradzi Makoni reports on a recent webinar, jointly hosted by the AAU, TrustAfrica and the Association for the Development of Education in Africa, on progress towards harmonisation of African higher education systems.
   We continue our focus on quality in the sector with a feature by Ramadhan Rajab about concerns over the uncontrolled expansion of Somalia’s higher education sector, particularly private institutions. In contrast, Laeed Zaghlami writes about the slow and more measured entry of private providers into Algeria.
   In Africa Analysis, Wondwosen Tamrat debates the merits of the Ethiopian government’s new plan to improve graduate employability which places considerable pressure on individual institutions, while Craig Blewett outlines his research on the role Facebook has played in shaping how the new generation consumes and shares content.
   In Africa News, Wachira Kigotho reports on a new plan by the African Union to stem brain drain, and Wagdy Sawahel covers the student protests in Mauritania over changes to the age of students eligible for scholarships.

More evidence needed that international scholarships foster social change

By Brendan O’Malley – Managing Editor. In Commentary, Robin Marsh says the case for international scholarships as an effective investment for economic development and social change requires some rethinking and improved evidence. Roger Chao Jr commends the Philippines on their education reforms that aim to advance quality higher education for all and points this out as a promising case study that could be replicated in other countries. Ann M Brewer suggests that instead of ‘keeping their eyes on the ranking speedometer’, universities should take a wider view and consider how they can benefit their own regions. And Gerard A Postiglione predicts that the future of higher education in Hong Kong will hinge upon whether it can sustain the values – such as university autonomy – that have made Hong Kong a centre of global higher education.
   In World Blog this week, Nita Temmerman gives valuable advice to academics on making sure that research happens among the myriad of other responsibilities they carry, which is vital considering the importance of research output to career advancement.
   In Features, Brendan O’Malley unpacks a new British Council research report that warns of a sharp drop in global student mobility growth. Stuart Miller writes that US universities need to address racial issues on campuses to attract more blacks and Hispanics to STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – professions. And Craig Blewett outlines his research on the role Facebook has played in shaping how the new generation consumes and shares content, with the aim of using technology to teach in the digital age.
   In our Q&A section, Munyaradzi Makoni interviews Professor Thandwa Mthembu, who moves into the position of chair of Universities South Africa at a time when South African universities are under pressure to implement a new fee-free higher education dispensation. More...

SC Seeks Input on Pick-a-Prof

SC Seeks Input on Pick-a-Prof
Students at the University of Texas at Arlington are debating whether to sign a $3000 contract with a web service called Pick-a-Prof. What is interesting about this item is not merely that a commercial professor rating service has set up shop (though that is interesting) but rather that it is marketing itself as a service to student groups (rather than to individual students or to universities).
