Change & transformation in Ghana's publicly funded universities

the long version

"This study is set in the context of Ghana's socio-economic realities. Ghana's economy is dominated by structural adjustment programming, fiscal restraint and the nation's recent status as a Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC)." "Ghana's public universities have faced competition from offshore universities as well as from non-university centres of knowledge production and research. This new competition is taking place within the context of neo-liberal economic policies characterized by market-led reforms and private sector initiatives." "This volume analyses the different strategies and measures that the universities have taken to expand enrolment, generate additional funding and review curricula and modes of operation in an attempt to respond to these challenges."--Jacket.
