| Abstract: | This paper provides an outline of the development of university education in Africa, focusing on the earliest roles of the Christian missionaries. It highlights the process of transformation of the training colleges in Sierra Leone, Cape of Good Hope and Stellenbosch to full-fledged universities – Fourah Bay College, UNISA and Fort Hare. Thereafter, the paper outlines the major issues in the growth and development of the African university system, with considerable emphasis on the emergence of private higher educational institutions and the opportunities, constraints and challenges for future development. An integral part of the paper was the analysis and presentation of ideas provided by staff of the University of Botswana, on the opportunities, constraints and challenges for future development of the University of Botswana. |
