Science and politics all over the world are generating new ideas and models for the functions and structures of the higher education sector and its institutions.

Learning from Arnstein's Ladder

The central factors in this process were the German and South African colonisation and European missionary work on the one hand, and the rise of African nationalism on the other hand. Eventually, this clash between African and European naming practices led to a new and dynamic naming system which includes elements of both African and European origin.
