Competition among universities was previously limited within the national boundaries but this notion has changed.

The book advocates for East African Universities to quickly adapt to the environmental changes, match global trends so as to become more competitive and enhance effectiveness in cross border education. The book highlights historical trend of cross border education in East Africa, arguments for and against cross border education, strategies and approaches together recommendations for the most effective means of organizing cross border University Education by East African Universities.
