Higher education is recognized as a vital driver of development and innovation, creating an informed knowledge base equipped to address local and global challenges. For too long, external forces have shaped education in the continent, but now African countries are revitalizing higher education, designing doctoral training to meet distinctly African needs and contexts. This book explores the history, present, and future potential of doctoral training on international, regional, national, and institutional levels. It brings together expertise from both research and practice, analyzing the frameworks and structures of the doctoral phase and how institutions, supervisors, mentors, and young scholars meet the challenges of training in real life. The book covers issues such as access to education, proactive recruitment, funding issues, practitioner expertise, enrolment and drop-out, across a range of countries including South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, and Morocco. This book will be a valuable resource for higher education administrators and policy makers, as well as researchers and academics with an interest in higher education in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 396g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 156 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032025704\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46167825907962,"sku":"9781032025704","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717189345205_book.jpg?v=1717330451","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/doctoral-training-and-higher-education-in-africa-9781032025704","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
