What kinds of disruption, promising ideas and innovative practices in African higher education can help us to critically imagine the African university of the future? How can we ensure quality and relevant higher education for African youth from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds to successfully transition into, through, and out of higher education into livelihoods and contribute meaningfully to meeting the challenges of the continent and the world?

These are the questions we’ll explore in the next episode of the HSRC Connect.
