    Quality Assurance Challenges and Opportunities Faced by Private Universities in Zimbabwe

    Journal of Case Studies in Education Quality assurance challenges and opportunities faced by private Universities in Zimbabwe Evelyn Chiyevo Garwe Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education ABSTRACT The study sought to provide an understanding of the quality assurance challenges and opportunities faced by private universities in Zimbabwe. The study analyzed the factors determining provision of quality higher education in private universities and the resultant effects of failing to achieve the minimum acceptable standards. The author employed the case study method which falls within the qualitative research paradigm. The major techniques used were documentary analysis, direct observation and participant observation by the author. The results showed that financial constraints and poor corporate governance were the major factors leading to failure by private universities to uphold high quality standards. The study also highlighted the need for an effective national quality assurance agency in making sure that only institutions with the necessary financial, material and human resources should be allowed to operate as private universities. Key words: Quality, quality assurance, private university, corporate governance Quality assurance challenges, Page 1 Journal of Case Studies in Education INTRODUCTION Private universities in Africa should be considered a potential growth industry, which may generate revenue, employment and other spillovers to the rest of the economy (Nyarko, 2001). In Zimbabwe, private universities started in 1992 in response to the need to fill in gaps in access to higher education. The legislative measures initiated to establish private institutions of higher education also opened doors for the entry of cross-border higher education which is offered through private providers. Kariwo (2007) reported that the private higher education sector in Zimbabwe contributed a small share of enrolments and programme offerings in higher education .

    Caleb KANGAI Richard BUKALIYA Zimbabwe Open University, Mashonaland East Region, Marondera, ZIMBABWE ABSTRACT

    International Journal on New Trends in Education and Their Implications October, November, December 2010 Volume: 1 Issue: 3 Article: 8 ISSN 1309-6249 THE POTENTIAL AND CHALLENGES OF INTRODUCING NEW TECHNOLOGY IN DISTANCE TEACHING AND LEARNING Caleb KANGAI Richard BUKALIYA Zimbabwe Open University, Mashonaland East Region, Marondera, ZIMBABWE ABSTRACT One of the most significant recent technological developments at the Zimbabwe Open University has been the introduction of the CD-ROM digital text as the central medium of instruction. The ZOU has always used tutorials and the module as the main delivery mode. However, the advent of the global village, advancement in new technology and the socio-economic and political challenges Zimbabwe experienced in the past two years from 2008 to 2009 forced ZOU to adopt an alternative medium of instruction (CD-ROM digital text) in order to survive. However, the introduction of the CD-ROM text has become a topical issue that has raised heated debate in ZOU’s departmental, faculty and senate meetings. Those supporting the use of CDs have argued that ZOU must adopt new technology in order to survive in today’s computer age and in the global village. On the other hand, critics have seen the use of CD-ROM as one way of abandoning the distant and the socio- economically disadvantaged student! This article reports the findings of a university-wide study the two authors conducted at the ZOU during the 2 nd Semester (July-December 2009) in order to contribute meaningfully to the current debate on challenges ZOU and other ODL institutions are facing the introduction of new technology in their delivery mode.

To maintain a record of applicants selected to join undergraduate degrees TCU has prepared this publication which contains statistics of all students who joined HLIs from 2012/13 to 2017/18 academic year. It should be noted that from 2010/2011 to 2016/17 Admission Cycles admission into Bachelors’ degrees was done through Central Admission System (CAS) except for 2017/18 where the University Information Management System (UIMS) was used to receive and process admission data also provide feedback to HLIs. Hence the data used to prepare this publication was obtained from the two databases. Prof. Charles D.

Mpolomoka* School of Education, Department of Adult Education Zambian Open University, Lusaka, Zambia Musonda Luchembe School of Education, Department of Adult Education and Extension Studies, University of Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia Selina Banda School of Education, Department of Adult Education Zambian Open University, Lusaka, Zambia Peter Sampa School of Education, Department of Adult Education and Extension Studies, University of Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia Abstract Zambian communities are rich with voices of the value of adult education, albeit unsystematically documented. It is these insightful voices that this article unveils. Phenomenological research design was employed. Three research sites were targeted comprising two chiefdoms and covering four villages, two villages from each chief dom. Data was collected using interviews and focus group discussions. After coding the data, narrative and thematic methods of data analysis were used. Findings reveal that the value of adult education is measured informally by the number of the adult population able to access social amenities equitably and equally on one hand, and on the other, by their ability to read the „word and the world‟ as purported by Freire and Macedo (1987).

Introduction The development of adult education is very vital because every society which is committed to achieve community and economic development and social transformation should have educated citizen who can participate willingly, intelligently and efficiently in all developmental programmes of the country.
