The document discusses the challenges of funding and managing private universities in Nigeria following the deregulation of higher education. It provides historical background on university education in Nigeria. Deregulation allowed private institutions and led to increased access but also management, quality, and funding challenges for new private universities. These include poor infrastructure, low faculty standards, high costs, and reliance on student fees. Private universities employ strategies like partnerships and business ventures to address issues around sustainability, staffing, and long-term planning.

The document discusses 5 connections between globalization and education:
1. The "corporate takeover" of education as it has become more business-like to market to a global population. However, this approach may not fit all students' individual needs.
2. The increased governing and standardization of national education policies rather than leaving control to states, changing how education is carried out.
3. The rise in technology use in schools to expose students to more resources and prepare them for a technological world, continuing to shape instruction.
4. Schools focusing more on branding themselves through social media for visibility as they must recruit from a wider area. However, branding is not necessary for all schools.

Globalization refers to the increased integration and interdependence of national economies through cross-border movement of goods, capital, services, technologies and people. It has led to greater international trade, cultural exchange and development of global telecommunications infrastructure. While proponents argue it increases economic growth and efficiency, critics argue it can negatively impact national sovereignty, local cultures and lead to greater inequality. The document outlines both the advantages such as increased employment, education and cheaper goods, as well as disadvantages like health issues, environmental degradation and uneven wealth distribution that have resulted from globalization.
The presentation is divided into two parts. The first part provides with some ground making concepts. The second part discusses the relationships between modern day development, globalization and education.

Globalisation and education (role and skills of 21st century teacher)june21harsh
The document discusses the role of teachers in educating students for globalization. It defines globalization as the integration of economies and societies worldwide through technological, economic, political, and cultural exchanges. Teachers have a responsibility to shape students' futures and develop skills like cooperation, critical thinking, and active participation. The aims of global education are to create global citizens who respect diversity, understand how the world works, and are willing to act for social justice. Teachers should teach with a global perspective using student-centered and experiential learning. They must also model lifelong learning and develop the skills needed for the 21st century like creativity, problem solving, and adaptability.
Globalization is increasing the integration of economies worldwide through greater trade, investment, and technology sharing, which is impacting education through greater internationalization, privatization, and an increased focus on workforce skills. Education systems will need reforms like updated curricula focused on productivity, as globalization constrains national policies while spreading cultural influences and creating economic inequalities across borders. The impacts of globalization on youth experiences through technology, social changes, and economic realities will shape needed roles for education to best prepare students for an interconnected world.

IMPACTS OF EDUCATION IN GLOBALIZATION
The document discusses the impacts of globalization, including economic, social, and environmental impacts. It lists improved standards of living, increased competition among nations, and widening income gaps as economic impacts. Socially, it mentions increased awareness of foreign cultures and loss of local culture. Environmentally, it notes environmental degradation and the need for environmental management. The document provides potential exam questions about these different impacts and their significance.
Globalization refers to the increasing flow of goods, services, capital, people, information and ideas across national borders. It has led to nearly $23 trillion in annual imports and exports and influences many aspects of daily life through products from various countries. However, globalization also raises issues such as the use of sweatshops with poor working conditions and low pay as well as increasing global inequality between rich and poor nations. [END SUMMARY]
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies and societies around the world through trade and information sharing. There are three main types - economic, social, and political. Key drivers of globalization include improved communications like the internet, improved transportation infrastructure, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. The effects of globalization include a changed global food supply, increased outsourcing and less job security in some countries, potential environmental damage from increased trade and transport, homogenization of cultures, and a rise in anti-globalization protests.

This document discusses strategies for boosting revenue flows and improving accountability in Nigerian tertiary institutions. It notes that government funding is inadequate and tertiary institutions rely on it for less than 10% of their budgets. To address this, the document recommends that institutions pursue additional internally generated revenue through means like partnerships, entrepreneurship programs, expanding in-demand fields, strategic collaborations, grants, and transparency. It emphasizes matching academic programs to market needs, training students for careers, and transforming communities through learning to strengthen revenue generation.
TeachersFirst - an Edutech Presentation at TEDx Lagos by Chinenye Mba-UzoukwuChinenye Mba-Uzoukwu
Putting the teachers first is critical to transforming education especially in the Digital Age. The world-over, countries like Nigeria struggling with broken public education systems and a huge deficit in education infrastructure - human and physical. Generations are slipping, falling through the yawning chasms in our countries and we must "act with the urgency of now" to save our Tomorrow. This action must be massive and decisive in scale. I argue that at a minimum this should focus on a country-scale deployment of education technology to close the this gap but must also make a similar massive effort in retooling and re-orienting the teachers for blended learning, classroom and school management in reconfigured, minimalized, entry-level technology enabled learning environments.
The document proposes building ecological villages in Algeria to address high youth unemployment. The villages would utilize agricultural land and renewable energy while focusing on recycling to create jobs. An educational system would provide training opportunities for graduates and undergraduates. The villages are expected to generate hundreds of jobs in fields like agriculture, recycling, and renewable energy maintenance. This would help fight unemployment, promote sustainable development, and improve quality of life.
This document discusses international distance education and its role in education for development. It provides several examples of partnerships between the Open University UK and institutions in China, the Arab world, and Bangladesh. These examples illustrate the benefits of international collaboration, the blending of learning cultures, and the potential of distance education to reach large numbers of students in a sustainable, culturally-sensitive way. However, it also notes challenges around quality assurance and the diversity of private higher education providers, some of which may be fraudulent. Overall it questions which business models for cross-border education will and should prevail as demand grows.

Youth should also explore online courses from international universities.
Possible Solutions to the Crisis in Higher Education in KenyaMuthuri Kinyamu
The Africa Learning barometer shows us that there is a deeper learning crisis that needs to be addressed to raise standards and improve learning outcomes. Teaching is at the heart of the learning crisis and epidemic levels of teacher absenteeism.
None of the public universities meet the internationally recommended teacher-student ration so what’s the solution? No funds to hire more scholars or pay them better!
119,000 pupils to miss Form One slots in 2013 in Kenya. Only 16,125 pupils including 600 with special needs to join national schools.
27000 papers published annually in Africa however Open Access is still a challenge.
Scientists & researchers don’t publish much online, Google Scholar doesn’t have much content on Africa; discovery happens faster when we digitize material and share knowledge.
No much class interaction=Lecturer-student due to increasing teacher to student ratios. There’s need to enhance that for effective learning & offer quality education.
There’s need to democratize education by offering access to high quality content for students and giving experts a platform to build an audience outside the class, allowing them to have 10,000 students instead of 50.

This document discusses international student mobility trends and how national policies can impact mobility. It shows that while the UK remains a top destination, mobility is becoming more regional and countries like Australia are increasing as hosts. National policies around visas, internationalization strategies, and post-study work can influence global flows of students by making a country more attractive or restrictive to international students. Short-term programs and transnational education are also changing the landscape of student mobility.

This document discusses the importance of co-designing spaces through involving end users in the design process. It notes that while co-design can make projects messier, it significantly improves user satisfaction and productivity. The document outlines some of the unexpected challenges ("gorilla problems") that arose during one co-design project, and how limited resources were allocated to address them. It also discusses how to manage the emotional aspects of change by understanding the stages of reaction and tailoring communication approaches. The key message is that co-design, while complex, ultimately leads to higher morale and better outcomes through increased user involvement and control.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1. Deregulation & Higher
Education in a Developing
Country
The Challenge of Funding &
Managing Private Universities in
Nigeria
By

2. Outline
• Historical Background to University
Education in Nigeria
• The Country Nigeria : Profile
• Deregulation: Pathway to the
Emergence of Private Universities in
Nigeria
• The Challenges
• The Future
3. Background to University
Education
The aspirations of Nigerians
for higher education for the
production and development
of human resources is older
than the history of tertiary
education in Nigeria.
4. Its origin is rooted in the
aspirations of Nigerians to be
active players in the
development of commerce,
health services, engineering
and administration, long
before the Nigerian nation
was born.
5. • From the 1860’s “local
merchants, and mainly
Sierra Leonean
immigrants in Lagos sent
their children overseas,
especially England to train
as professionals.
6. The intention was to fulfill the
practical need for qualified
personnel in various fields of
endeavour and to grant the
merchants a competitive edge
in commerce and social
prestige for such families and
the individuals.

8. PROFILE OF NIGERIA
• Located in West Africa, bordering
the Gulf of Guinea, Benin,
Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
• Total Land Area – 923,768sq km
• Oil-Rich, with 37.2billion cu.m
proven reserves
• Population – over 150million
9.
10. •About 95% population is
between 15-64 years of
age.
•33.2 % youths between
15-34
•Literacy rate – 68%
11. •GDP real growth rate :
8.4%
•GDP per capita :
$2,500
•Population below poverty
line : 70%
12. To cater for the new graduates from
the free basic education
programmes of the states and the
corresponding graduates of the
secondary schools, 15 new
Universities, 9 new Polytechnics
and 9 new Colleges of Education
were established in 2006
13. In 2007, 1.37 million
students were enrolled
in the nation’s
Universities,
Polytechnics and
Colleges of Education.
14. It is estimated that about 1.8
million new entrants from the
nation’s educational institutions
enter the labour market each
year, resulting in
unemployment and
underemployment.
15. In spite of the high
unemployment rate now
besieging University graduates
in Nigeria, there is an
unrelenting private or social
demand for University
education.

16. University Growth: 1930-2012
• 1930– Yaba Medical School
established to grant Diplomas and
certificates.
• 1934—Yaba Higher College
established
• 1949---The University College,
Ibadan established

2002/2003 55 584,774 84,744
2003/2004 56 684,747 91,015
19. By 2009, there were 95
Universities in Nigeria,
made up of 27 Federal
Universities, 34 State
Universities and 34
Private Universities.
20. As educational institutions at
all levels increased in
numbers and the enrolments
in quantity, the quality and
quantity of staffing, the
capacity to fund solely by
Government and the quality
of output declined.

• Funding Pattern of Federal
NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY
Series1
22. • The proliferation of Federal
and State owned universities
between 1975 and 1999 to meet
increasing demand from the
teeming youth population led to
great increase in enrolment
figures of students, which in
turn led to diminished resource
allocation.
23. Path to Deregulation
• Irregular University calendar
• Militant unionism
• Decaying infrastructure
• Brain drain
• Declining quality of education in the
universities called for new
initiatives.
24. In 1993, the Federal
Government passed a
legislation (the National
Minimum Standards and
Establishments of Institutions
Amendment Decree) allowing
Private Institutions of higher
learning.
25. Deregulation
• Removal of ‘bridging’ subsidy
from sale and supply
• Allowance of ‘market forces’ to
determine price
• Absence of price fixing, control of
supply and uniform pricing
• Cessation or stoppage of
Government monopoly
26. The ‘deregulation’ of the Higher
education sector in Nigeria in
real terms is a liberalisation of the
market by removing the rules that
constrain private participation but
retaining overall regulation of
standards and quality through the
National Universities
Commission.
27. ADVANTAGES OF DEREGULATION
• Infusion of private capital
and initiative
• Competition among
players.
• Increase in public access to
services
29. As at 2012, there are 118
Universities in Nigeria
comprising:
• 45 owned by entrepreneurs
and faith based organisations
• 36 Federal Government
• 37 State Governments
32. Positive trends
• Increased Access by over 30%
• Stable Academic calendar – No
Unions
• Alternative choice for middle class
families
• Relatively better environment
conducive to learning and teaching
33. • Small population, hence more
focussed on rich learning and
teaching experience
• Higher moral tone in the faith
based Institutions due to emphasis
on spirituality and moral
counselling
• Healthy competition in the higher
education sector
35. MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES
• Infancy Stage, hence no established
tradition of Governance, Management and
Administration
• Micro management by the proprietor (s)
• Lack of respect for Governance structure
• Conflict between Management and
Proprietors
• Lack of Appellate body for conflict
resolution
36. Challenges of quality : Students
• Poor quality applicants
• Challenges of academic performance
• Pressure on maintenance of high
enrolment and low drop out rate for
financial reasons
• Challenge of discipline vis-a-vis
personal freedom
37. Coping strategy
• Strong remedial teaching
• Smaller classes / higher contact rate
through tutorials, make-up classes
for slow students
• Emphasis on proactive measures
against institutional cultures that
alienate students or are detrimental
to student performance
38. Challenge of Quality : Staff
• Low standard of available
faculty
• High rate of adjunct and Part
time Faculty
• Low research capability/
output
• Lack of job security
39. Coping strategy
• Reliance on adjunct, visiting and
part time staff from neighbouring
institutions
• Strong linkage with overseas
partners/ faith institutions
• Development of ‘own’ core staff
through retaining and training fresh
graduates
40. • ‘Poaching’ with incentives
• Strong Quality Assurance
and Peer review
Directorates
• Mentoring and Coaching
by Senior Academics
41. Funding
• Private Universities are currently
considered very expensive due to
high poverty level among the
citizenry
• The congregation of faith based
Universities can hardly afford to
send their children to the schools
established with their contributions
43. Challenges of funding
• High Cost Universities
• Total Reliance of Fees and
Proprietors Grants
• Inability to plan long term
• High basic cost for
Infrastructure and no funding
for research and Development
44. Coping Strategy
• Conscious efforts at maintaining
high retention Rates
• Strong links with overseas
partners and faith Institutions for
gifts, endowments and grants
• Early establishment of
Advancement Offices
45. •Focussed and dedicated
cultivation of potential
donors
•Business strategies
applied to academic
decisions
46. • Long Term Investment in
Ventures
• Business partnering/ Stand alone
to provide continuous flow of
funds. E.g. Printing Press, Feeder
Schools, Petrol
Stations, Agricultural
Ventures, Hotels and Resorts.
47. The Future
• The advent of private incursion has
changed the Higher Education
landscape
• Some Casualties definitely expected
like all business ventures
• Over time, greater collaboration
between Public and private
Institutions envisaged.
