Summary

"Mozambique has experienced the most dramatic changes of any country in southern Africa over the past thirty years. It suffers from a critical shortage of qualified professionals, as well as from acute regional disparities in wealth, development and trained human resources. The government attaches great importance to higher education. At the same time, the emergence of non-governmental universities has led to a fascinating debate on the nature of higher education in Mozambique. Hihger education is in great flux, providing a scenario for considerable contestation and innovation, but also resulting in a diverse and vital field."--Jacket.
