Abstract

African higher education (HE) faces unique financial opportunities and challenges. Government corruption, high unemployment, and limited infrastructure all limit the potential HE has in many areas throughout the continent. But there are areas of progress, especially as technology expands access to rural and remote regions that were once unthinkable for HE providers to reach. In this article, we examine seven financial trends currently shaping the HE landscape throughout Africa.
