More about the book

Focusing on market-based reforms at Uganda's Makerere University, this case study examines the implications of neoliberal policies for higher education across Africa. It highlights how Makerere has become a model for transformation, reflecting the challenges faced by public universities in a capital-driven environment. The analysis provides insights into the broader impact of these reforms on educational institutions continent-wide and underscores the tension between public service and market demands in academia.
