UNESCO's Teacher Training Initiative in Sub-Saharan Africa (TTISSA) aims to address the acute shortage of qualified teachers in the region, which has been identified as one of the biggest challenges to achieving Education for All goals by 2015. TTISSA works with countries to improve teacher education policies and quality, increase teacher recruitment and retention, and integrate issues like HIV/AIDS prevention into teacher curricula. The initiative is implemented in partnership with countries and other organizations over 10 years, starting with an initial group of 17 countries from 2006-2009.
The document provides an overview of the University Partnerships in Cooperation and Development (UPCD) Program and presents findings from a basic education study. Some key points:
1) The UPCD Program is funded by CIDA and involves partnerships between Canadian and international universities to support sustainable development through education, training, research, and community outreach.
2) A study of 100 UPCD projects found contributions to basic education goals through both education-specific and cross-sectoral results, including support for national education policies, strengthening the education sector, and developing basic skills.
3) Projects also reported indirect results like building the capacity of groups like health workers that can support developing basic skills in communities.
This document summarizes the concluding remarks from a symposium on institutional autonomy. Some key points include:
- The symposium provided a forum for comparing policies and practices around institutional autonomy, which is an important concept that changes over time.
- Presentations at the symposium reinforced statements by IAU on topics like academic freedom and the responsibilities of universities.
- Autonomy must be continuously defined and balanced with various needs, as complete autonomy is not a "sacred cow." Universities need frameworks for accountability.
- Perspectives on autonomy differ in various contexts based on history, traditions, and impacts of globalization on education systems.

The document summarizes the methodology and key findings of a study examining higher education institutions' involvement in Education for All (EFA).
It collected responses from 13 development agencies and 33 higher education institutions through questionnaires. The responses showed that while most agencies see university involvement in EFA as important, over half said it is currently insufficient. Universities also reported involvement as inadequate due to lack of support, opportunities, and funding.
The workshops discussed ways to increase higher education's contribution to achieving EFA goals through education, research, and community services, such as improving governmental policies and international agency funding of related programs.
The document discusses strategies for greater collaboration in education for all, including:
1) Creating a large community of researchers from higher education institutions, NGOs, and religious organizations to conduct large-scale collaborative research on issues related to education and human rights.
2) Networking researchers through technologies like radio, telephone and internet to share, coordinate and develop collective expertise.
3) Selecting one country per continent to serve as "research laboratories" where researchers, governments, and donors address all interrelated problems together and share successful collaborative experiments with other countries.
The document discusses the role of tertiary education research in achieving Education For All goals in Africa. It outlines work done by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa's Working Group on Higher Education, including a case study of the Center for Improving Quality of Primary Education in Ghana. The document concludes by proposing ways to strengthen tertiary education's research and contributions to education policy development.
The document discusses the role and initiatives of the Association of African Universities (AAU) in supporting education goals in Africa. The AAU is working to strengthen higher education institutions to help countries achieve Millennium Development Goals like universal primary education and promoting gender equity. Key initiatives include a regional capacity program funded by DFID, quality assurance studies looking at increased enrollment impacts, and supporting research on improving access and equity in African higher education.
Nkrumah College of Education in Zambia trains teachers for upper basic grades. It is transitioning to become a high school teacher training college. To help meet Education For All goals, the college is working to strengthen management, financing, administration and its contribution through a partnership with NUFFIC. Key efforts include developing strategic plans, curriculum reviews, distance learning programs, staff training, and improving systems like admissions, accounting and ICT through task teams and capacity building. Challenges remain around funding, resources, infrastructure, staff development and utilizing research.
The document discusses the role of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) in supporting Education for All. VUA has centers focused on international cooperation and education that implement projects in areas like teacher education, curriculum development, and science education research. However, pressures to link this work more closely to the university's faculties and priorities have increased its vulnerability. The document also notes that while higher education institutions have an important role to play in achieving Education for All, including by providing teachers and research, their relationship with ministries of education is often weak due to cultural and priority differences. Strengthening dialogue through advisory groups and supporting educational research are discussed as opportunities.
The document summarizes discussions from workshops at an IAU experts' seminar on higher education and education for all in Mozambique. Key issues raised included the unknown and unclear role of higher education in achieving education for all goals, focus on teacher training, obstacles like poor teacher motivation and communications between higher education institutions and ministries. Recommendations focused on sharing information, research collaboration, advocacy, and student involvement to strengthen contributions of higher education and research to meeting education for all targets.
University autonomy is a necessary but not sufficient condition for excellence. While autonomy allows universities to be proactive and innovative, they must also demonstrate accountability. Universities have public responsibilities to provide opportunities for citizens and serve societal needs. However, over-regulation can limit initiatives. Universities need strategic planning and leadership to adapt quickly to changes like globalization and technology. Academic freedom is important but institutions can prioritize research areas and coordinate teaching. Overall, autonomy requires accountability through good governance, leadership, and management for universities to truly achieve excellence.
The document discusses university autonomy from the state and market. It notes that while autonomy from the state allows for academic freedom, public funding is decreasing, forcing universities to rely more on the market. Too much reliance on the market risks losing autonomy and prioritizing market demands over academic excellence. Universities desire autonomy from both the state and market to maintain academic freedom, but achieving both is difficult without sufficient public funding to ensure financial independence from market forces.
This document discusses institutional autonomy in higher education. It notes that while governments are legally allowed to interfere in areas like staffing, students, curriculum, and funding, autonomy allows for efficiency and effectiveness. The document then provides data on the level of government authority and influence in different countries. It outlines the purposes of Australian higher education and desired characteristics of institutions, including being learner-centered, innovative, and accountable. Assessment of institutions considers organizational sustainability, educational achievements, quality outcomes, and compliance.
This document discusses aspects of and threats to academic autonomy at universities. It outlines three aspects of autonomy: academic, administrative, and financial. It also identifies two main threats to autonomy: the state, including government, legislature, judiciary, and polity; and the market, in terms of teaching, research, administration, admissions, and university milieu. Specific threats from the state include finances, appointments, governance, and regulation from the government and legislature. Threats from the market include a short-term focus on teaching and research, unequal research finances, inappropriate administration criteria, and admissions based on endowments rather than abilities.
UCAD operates with a significant degree of autonomy despite receiving 95% of its funding from the government. It has deliberative assemblies that manage the university and elect leadership positions. The rector is chosen from among full professors and combines an elected and appointed role. UCAD has taken initiatives to diversify funding and reduce reliance on government support. While it reports annually to the government, UCAD controls its own vision, operations, and accountability.
The document discusses universities responding to market demands while maintaining autonomy. It explores how universities can compete for students in traditional and non-traditional ways, meet the needs of the labor market through relevant curriculum and flexible delivery, and generate income through entrepreneurial activities like partnerships without compromising ethics. Effective strategies require a vision, feedback mechanisms, flexibility, institutional capacity, and consideration of ethical dimensions.
