6 - Credentials and Mobility: An Analysis of the Profile of Students Studying at Registered Private Higher Education Institutions in South Africa
Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique,
Vol. 5 No 2-3 (2007): Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique
Résumé
Analyser l’enseignement supérieur privé par rapport au secteur public n’est pas très utile, pas plus que le fait de regrouper les données des étudiants pour expliquer les tendances de la privatisation dans un système national. Cette affirmation s’illustre en analysant le groupe cible d’étudiants identifiés par les institutions, le profil des inscrits et la perception de leur motivation à étudier dans des établissements privés en Afrique du Sud. En Afrique du Sud, il y’a deux sous secteurs privés distincts, qui ciblent et attirent un type d’étudiant spécifique. Les établissements qui prétendent satisfaire une demande de «mobilité» répondent essentiellement aux besoins d’une composante historiquement et nouvellement privilégiée, alors que celles qui pré- tendent satisfaire une demande de «qualifications» spécialisées répondant princi- palement aux besoins d’étudiants non traditionnels. Une lecture superficielle des questions de race et de genre, de l’avantage et du désavantage historiques, peut assombrir plus qu’elle n’éclaire, parce que l’âge, le statut socio-économique, le niveau d’éducation et la nationalité interagissent de façon complexe. Le fait de comprendre les modes d’inscription aux différents types d’institutions permet de mieux connaître ce que les institutions privées promettent d’offrir, et pourquoi les étudiants sont attirés par celles-ci.
