Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Higher education (HE) in Africa
□Higher education is crucial for economic growth of countries. There are many evidences that associate economic growth with education in general and HE in particular.
□Higher education system is a hub of knowledge generation, reproduction, and dissemination in a given society (technological catch-up).
□World bank and other development partners downplayed this fact and neglected higher education in 1980s and 1990s
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Higher education (HE) in Africa (2)
□As in many areas of development, Africa has lagged behind in higher education; it has the lowest enrolment.
□Without a strong higher education system (universities, colleges, TVETs, etc) Africa will miss out on the emerging global knowledge based economy and cannot build a competitive economy.
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Benefits of higher education
□Economic benefits (productivity, GDP, R&D,…)□Social and political benefits□Human capital and professional development□Knowledge generation and adaptation through
research and innovation□Equitable opportunity and access provision□Support other levels of education□Promote linkage to world of work□Promote international cooperation
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
State of science and research in Africa (1)
□Universities are centers of teaching, research and community engagement; they boost productivity, competitiveness and economic growth.
□In Africa the state of science and research is worrisome . The region has one of the lowest research expenditure, research staff and scientific outputs.
□Few key countries produce majority of research publications of the continent (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Algeria, Uganda and Tunisia)
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
State of science and research in Africa (2)
□African research collaboration and network is also dominated by those few countries that also dominate the publication
□HEIs of many countries are not part of this established network of research collaboration
□Few HEIs of the west (from US and Europe) have dominated the network of research collaboration.
□Few researches from very few countries awarded patent from USPTO
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt
University, March 5, 2013
State of science and research in Africa (3)
□Compared with other countries the continent has long way to go in scientific outputs.
□Many countries conduct research in biological science but few researches are conducted in science which has implication for Sustainable development research
□The mono-disciplinary nature of most of the researches had compromised their utility for SD problems.
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
□Ethiopia is one of African countries that produce low scientific output in terms of publication.
□It poorly show up in the list of countries receiving patent from USPTO (compare this with Korea)
□It is not integrated into major research collaboration network in Africa
□Although its overall scientific output is low, its productivity is average when output per GDP is considered.
State of science and research in Ethiopia
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Challenges and constraints facing science and research (1)
• Shortage of qualified human power• underfunding, and principles guiding
north-south partnerships• Lack of research infrastructure and
excessive teaching load • Uncompetitive salary and benefit packages • Unattractive work environment and
increasing brain drain• the high cost of bandwidth and the lack of
capacity to ensure the effective use of online technologies for teaching and research;
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Challenges and constraints facing science and research (2)
• Lack of research experience and poor mentoring of young researchers
• Limited south-south collaboration; poor collaboration with non-academic actors (e.g. Civil society groups)
• Gender inequity in science and research• Limited capacity for management of
research projects
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
North-south collaboration
North-south collaboration (NSC)
□NSC: has geographic and developmental
connotations Refers to various forms of interaction
between north and south; involves two or more countries North-south North-south-south
South-south collaboration is also a growing trend.
Definitions (Rosseel et el)
□North-south collaboration: is “a geographical division whereby the North represents the richer countries of North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and the South represents the poorer majority of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America”
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Typology of N-S research collaboration
□NSC is a generic term that can take many forms
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Typology of Southern Partnership in research cooperation (Waardenburg, 1997)
Definitions
□ North-south-south collaboration: is “ new route of development cooperation where aid is channeled through institutions in third-world countries in order to support development projects in poor countries.
□South-south collaboration: is “a broad concept that covers a wide range of collaborations among developing countries……more specifically to cooperative activities between newly industrialized Southern countries and other, less developed nations of the South”
SSC can be exchange of experience and good practices, networking, capacity building and forging partnership
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north south collaboration
□There is a longstanding tradition of academic (teaching and research) collaboration between north and south institutions
□Academic collaboration evolved from predominantly ‘capacity building to equal partnerships, from social commitment to matching interests, and from specific needs to global strategies’ (Ad Boeren, 2013)
□Many countries in south faced shortage humanpower after independence; the tnorth provided training and research capacity building
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north-south collaboration
□Collaborations were funded from development cooperation funds
□However, the relationship between north and south tended to be unequal due to difference in capacity and experience
□The north assumed the role of preceptors; little expectation that they also learn something from the collaboration.
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north south collaboration
□Changing trends in the north: Expanding access to higher education with
stagnation in funding Change in funding formula in the North
(from input-based to output-based financing).
Internationalization and ranking Selective in areas of their expertise and
avoiding low-prestige universities in the south
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north-south collaboration
Tendency to ‘marry upwards’ in search for quick and certain returns: Universities in BRIC countries Well-established South African universities
Restriction of use of development cooperation funds for academic collaboration
Lack of coherent policy that coordinate efforts of relevant ministries in the north.
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north-south collaboration
□consequences: Decline of social commitment as a driving force for
collaboration Focus on short term academic and financial benefits Financial constraints led Northern institutions to
‘marry upwards’ to prestigious institutions and the upcoming BRICs universities.
Results from collaboration with low-prestige universities in the south are usually uncertain or and long-term.
□Development cooperation funds are not available for academic collaboration
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Potential benefits of NSC
□Well-thought NSC has a mutual benefits:□For North:
Internationalization (staff and student exchange)
Joint research and publication Exposure to issues and challenges of
developing world Play their role as global citizens (social
responsibility) Networking Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Potential benefits of NSC
□South Transfer of knowledge, skill and technology Improvement in infrastructure and facilities Provides additional funding Human capacity building Enhanced quality of educational programs and
research Academic networking Engagement with community and enhanced role in
socio-economic development of their country Brain circulation
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
NSC: challenges
□North: Problem of coordination
Among countries and institutions Between academic collaboration and
development cooperation Concentration around few well established HEIs
in the south Going for low hanging fruits and immediate
results There is no strong policy that encourage faculty
involvement in NSC (‘Publish or perish’ academic environment)
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
NSC: challenges
□South: Capacity problem to establish ‘partnership’ Inadequate coordination among collaborative
projects Lack of facilities and infrastructure Sustainability issues Brain drain (retention of qualified staff) Project management capacity Not all needs of the south can be met
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
NSC: opportunities
Global shift of attitude towards higher education especially from the WB
Burgeoning economic growth in some of the developing countries
BRICS countries are joining the arena Technological advancement particularly in the
areas of ICT EU-Africa partnership program NSC and SS collaboration are high on the global
agenda.
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Evolution of north-south collaboration
□Way forward: Broadening the perspective of the north universities
(from short term, profit oriented and egocentric perspective to a long-term and global)
Investing in the future (developing countries are economic powers of tomorrow)
Treating south institutions as equal partners Engaging in mutually rewarding partnership Coordination of policies in the areas of development
cooperation, economic assistance , and foreign affairs Flexibility in use of development cooperation funds for
policy funding collaboration

Background
□Ethiopian higher education system Remained very small for decades up to late
1990s Repaid expansion after 1997 jumping from just
two universities to 32 university within 14 years There is a huge increase in enrolment stretching
the limited faculty and infrastructure; yet the participation rate is around 2%
Currently the system has prioritized issues of access, equity, quality, and efficiency
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Higher education in Ethiopia (1)
□Higher education is growing at an unprecedented rate The number of universities and colleges has
increased dramatically in space of the last 15 years
Gross enrolment has also jumped from thousands to hundred thousands relatively short time span.
The private sector contribution to the higher education expansion is not negligible.
□With the rapid expansion quality has become an issue; measures are being taken
Kora Tushune. North-South Presentation, Hasselt University, March 5, 2013
Higher education in Ethiopia (2)
□Engineering and science have been prioritized in overall intake (the 70/30 proportion), university and industry link has moved to the center of the strategy.
□The system is also aimed at achieving strategic goals of HE including equitable distribution of institutions, gender equality, operational efficiency, institutional autonomy, educational quality and relevance, capacity building, and other related issues
□Growth of graduate programs is far behind undergraduate programs; they are still in short supply.
