Providing new insights into the contribution of the private higher education sector in Africa’s developmental agendas, the book offers an alternative to human capital theory by offering an expansive notion on the value of higher education – emphasising both the economic, and the intrinsic societal and social benefits that come from access to university and raised aspirations. Chapters identify and discuss six specific capabilities valued by students that higher education provides. This includes epistemological access, epistemic contribution, aspiration, recognition, respect and belonging, Ubuntu, and employability and it foregrounds the voices of students and lecturers to explore students’ aspirations, agency, access, and participation.
Ultimately promoting a reconsideration of access to higher education beyond numerical terms by focusing on students’ access to transformative knowledge as means to promote their freedom to achieve well-being, the book will appeal to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in higher education, African education studies, and international and comparative education more broadly.
Edward Mboyonga is Postdoctoral Research Fellow, in the SARCHI Chair in Higher Education and Human Development (HEHD) Research Programme, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Free State, South Africa.
