| Description |
This is the second research project in which the Centre for Higher Education Transformationâs Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (HERANA) project collected data on eight African 'flagship' universities. The findings of the study are published in the report An Empirical Overview of Eight Flagship Universities in Africa 2001â2011. The report describes the collecting and analysis of cross-national higher education data for the group of eight âflagshipâ universities in Africa. It concludes with an analysis of performance which focuses on the links between high-level academic staffing resources and high-level knowledge outputs. These eight universities are described as flagship universities because each is the most prominent public university in its country, and because all of the universities have broad flagship goals built into their vision and mission statements. The dataset from this study consists primarily of data on student enrolments, graduate outputs, academic staff and knowledge outputs at th e eight universities. |
