Overview
Despite a spectacular expansion of the higher education sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, the supply of tertiary education has generally failed to keep pace with demand and the region continues to lag all other regions in terms of access to tertiary education. This is in part a consequence of deeply entrenched patterns of inequitable access to higher education, and the perpetuation of what researchers refer to as “elite systems”. To date, access to tertiary education in Sub-Saharan Africa has unduly benefitted students drawn from the region’s wealthiest households, and overall enrollment remains disproportionately male, and metropolitan. These factors stifle the catalytic potential of higher education, corroding its potential for driving economic growth and sustaining poverty reduction. Instead, patterns of access to tertiary education have generally reinforced and reproduced social inequality, instead of eroding its pernicious social and economic effects. This report aims to inform an improved understanding of equity in tertiary enrollment in Sub-Saharan African countries, and to examine the extent to which inequity functions as a bottleneck inhibiting the ability of African universities to effectively drive improvements in overall quality of life and economic competitiveness. In our survey of the evidence, we also aim to identify which policies most effectively address the challenge of promoting equity of access in SSA tertiary education systems. In order to achieve these objectives, the report collects, generates and analyzes empirical evidence on patterns of equity, examines the underlying causes of inequity, and evaluates government policies for addressing inequity. Malgré une spectaculaire expansion du secteur de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique subsaharienne, l’offre d’éducation tertiaire n’a pas réussi à suivre le rythme de la demande, et la région continue à être à la traine par rapport à toutes les autres régions en termes d’accès à l’enseignement supérieur. Cette situation est due en partie à des tendances profondément enracinées d’inéquité dans l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur et la perpétuation de ce que les chercheurs appellent un « système d’élites ». À ce jour, l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique subsaharienne a indûment profité aux étudiants issus des ménages les plus aisés, et les effectifs dans leur ensemble restent disproportionnellement masculins et métropolitains. Ces facteurs étouffent le potentiel catalytique de l’enseignement supérieur, érodant le potentiel qu’il a de stimuler la croissance économique et de soutenir la réduction de la pauvreté. Les tendances en matière d’accès à l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique subsaharienne ont généralement renforcé et reproduit l’inégalité sociale plutôt que d’en atténuer les effets sociaux et économiques pernicieux. L’ouvrage « Enseignement supérieur et équité en Afrique subsaharienne : Élargir l’opportunité au-delà de l’élite » cherche à donner une meilleure compréhension de la question de l’équité dans les inscriptions au niveau tertiaire dans les pays d’Afrique subsaharienne et examine dans quelle mesure l’inéquité constitue un goulot d’étranglement, empêchant les universités africaines de stimuler des améliorations dans la qualité de vie générale et dans la compétitivité économique. Dans notre étude des données factuelles, nous cherchons également à cerner les politiques les plus efficaces pour la promotion de l’équité dans l’accès aux systèmes d’enseignement supérieur en Afrique subsaharienne. Pour ce faire, nous avons, à travers cet ouvrage, recueilli, généré et analysé des données empiriques sur les tendances en matière d’inéquité ; nous avons examiné les causes sous-jacentes ; et nous avons évalué les politiques publiques en réponse à l’inéquité.
