This edited book examines the private higher education (PHE) sector in African countries. Reports suggest that private institutions across the continent outnumber their public counterparts, yet there has been little scholarly investigation into this emerging phenomenon. The book therefore seeks to document, map and analyse key trends and contemporary themes in the PHE sector, as well as chart historical developments, policy and regulatory frameworks. As a whole, it provides the reader with in-depth knowledge, rich perspectives and robust analyses from leading authorities in the field. Contributions from all sub-regions combine thematic issues with shaping discourse on the topic, and the discussions are undertaken in the context of global perspectives. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers, analysts and development partners interested in African higher education and PHE in particular. Wondwosen Tamrat is Associate Professor of Higher Education and Founding President of St. Mary's University, Ethiopia. Damtew Teferra is Professor of Higher Education and Founding Director of the International Network for Higher Education in Africa at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa.
