Article Abstract:

Black universities and technikons in South Africa will receive 20.9% and 31% respectively of the extra funding for higher education in 1996, which amounts to approximately 14.8 million pounds sterling.

Article Abstract:

Higher education in Africa has expanded greatly since countries gained their independence. In Zimbabwe there are 9,000 black students instead of the 1,500 white students at independence, and standards have been maintained.
