Isi artikel

Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the lowest higher education enrollment—barely 8 percent. Conscious of the importance of higher education for socioeconomic development and in response to the ever-increasing demand for higher education, African countries have made huge efforts—in spite of many constraints and challenges—in increasing access to higher education. Enrollment in most countries has increased by several folds. The outcome was as expected—the greater output of graduates. Perhaps not expected was the increasing unemployment of these graduates, and this is true for almost every African country. In some countries, the unemployment ?gure is alarming. The social and political consequences of large unemployment, especially among the educated youth, can be serious, as evidenced by the 2011 “Arab spring” in North Africa.
