Privates in Tanzania

Article Abstract:

The government in Tanzania is considering the introduction of private universities to meet growing demand for university places. Public universities are frequently criticised for having lengthy degree courses and for providing low-quality education. There are just three public universities in Tanzania, but new ones cannot be set up due to cash shortages. The higher education council will consider applications for private university registrations, although approval is not automatic. Christian churches are keen to set up private universities in the country.

Turn on the green light

Article Abstract:

While the Higher Education Funding Council for England has taken an important step with the publication, in January 2005, of its strategy for a sustainable future, it must do more to increase sustainability in university and college business planning. Universities, as leaders on world-class research and knowledge transfer, have much to offer the development of sustainable technologies but they will need help to turn their environmental research into practical solutions.
