Sustainable internationalisation of African higher education: African strategies, global lessons and epistemic justice
Frontiers in EducationInternationalModerate confidence1 min
What changed
A review published in Frontiers in Education examines the sustainable internationalisation of African higher education amid rapid globalisation, digital transformation, and sustainability demands. The research positions internationalisation as a strategic governance process designed to advance access, research capacity, and quality assurance while mitigating risks of epistemic dependency, cultural homogenisation, and structural inequality.
Why it matters
This development matters because tertiary education systems must balance global integration with domestic relevance and institutional sovereignty. Without governance structures focused on epistemic justice, international partnerships risk extracting knowledge and reinforcing institutional disparities rather than building sustainable local capacity.
What to watch
African higher education is undergoing significant transformation driven by globalisation, digitalisation, and sustainability requirements.
Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
