DESCRIPTION

Since 1998 the Centre for Higher Education (CHET) has published a range of publications that can be broadly classified into four categories or themes: (1) governance, (2) curriculum, (3) performance assessment and (4) globalisation. In the African context, this is a unique collection of 15 publications on higher education and the CHET Board felt that it should be more widely accessible to the higher education community in Africa.

Ford Foundation made a significant contribution to many of the CHET publications and the Carnegie Corporation provided a special grant that made it possible to reprint and distribute this valuable resource to libraries at universities and NGOs throughout Africa.
