These aspects are analyzed by focusing in the Ethiopian higher education system, a system characterized by an elite enrollment pattern, since it has traditionally excluded the majority of potential students...

Trends in institutional partnership in higher education have shown tremendous growth in the past three decades. These trends are manifested through the growing initiatives of joint programs that promote collaborative research, academic mobility, joint curriculum development and course delivery, joint bidding for development projects and benchmarking.
