Alemu, Sintayehu Kassaye; Qu, Mei; Sakhiyya, Zulfa – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2022
From the perspective of peripheralised countries, internationalisation is imbalanced and hegemonic, as it is predominantly constructed by universities in the Global North. We explore the imbalanced internationalisation from the cases of sub-Saharan Africa through the dominance of Western knowledge systems and brain drain; China through isolation…

Andre Crenshaw – ProQuest LLC, 2024
African higher education institutions are experiencing a faculty shortage influenced by globalization, internationalization, and brain drain.

Odhiambo, George – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2012
The flight of human capital is a phenomenon that has been of concern to academics and development practitioners for decades but unfortunately, there is no systematic record of the number of skilled professionals that many African countries have continued to lose to the developed world. Termed the "brain drain", it represents the loss of…

Obamba, Milton
O. – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2013
Since the 1990s, the partnership paradigm has become the predominant framework for organising transnational academic ventures and international development.

Shawa, Lester Brian – European Education, 2008
The Bologna process is a fundamental restructuring of higher education in Europe, of which the introduction of three cycles: bachelor's, master's and doctorate, in lieu of the traditional long program is the single most important feature. Its objectives are to increase the employability of European citizens and the competitiveness and…

Barnighausen, Till; Bloom, David E. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2007
Without large increases in the number of health workers to treat HIV/AIDS (HAHW), most developing countries will be unable to achieve universal coverage with antiretroviral treatment (ART), leading to large numbers of potentially avoidable deaths among people living with HIV/AIDS. We use Markov Monte Carlo microsimulation to estimate the expected…

The number of highly skilled Africans leaving their country of origin, many with PhDs, has reached disturbing proportions. Meanwhile, Africa spends billions per year to fill the capacity gaps that are created by the exodus of the highly skilled. In Africa, Ethiopia ranked first in terms of rate of loss of human capital. Many African governments…

Essential components of an effective health service are medicines and skilled human resources. This paper…

African higher education, at the beginning of the new millennium, faces unprecedented challenges.
