Beyond the Sankoré university : lessons from pre-colonial higher-education in Sub-Saharan Africa

Beyond the Sankoré University

This work completes a trilogy on Higher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa, where are examined the different phases of its development in the Pre-colonial, colonial, and post- Independence periods. It is an attempt to understand the dynamics that explain the successes or failures in the different periods considered, to draw lessons and provide a basis to rethink the current archetype of higher education systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
