Résumé

Cet article analyse les politiques d’enseignement supérieur conçues pour l’Afrique
subsaharienne et édictées par la Banque mondiale. Il décrie l’attitude hostile de la
Banque face au développement de l’enseignement supérieur à travers cette partie
du continent. Bien qu’une organisation comme l’Unesco s’évertue à maintenir son
soutien à la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme qui statue que
« l’enseignement supérieur doit être accessible à tous, sur la base du mérite », la
Banque elle, insiste sur ce qu’elle désigne par diversification des sources de
financement et partage des charges. Le texte analyse les ramifications de ces
politiques aux niveaux individuel et institutionnel à la fois. De récentes publications de la Banque reconnaissent l’importance du secteur en Afrique. Cependant,
ces documents ne présentent aucune excuse concernant l’attitude défavorable de la
Banque tout au long de ces dernières décennies d’incitation à la négligence. Malgré
ce regain d’intérêt pour le secteur, les doctrines de base relatives au partage accru
des charges et à une privatisation plus soutenue, ces options de la banque persistent
encore. Plus loin dans le texte, l’article pose la problématique des langues locales
dans les universités africaines et en appelle à la valorisation des connaissances au
niveau continental. L’article met en évidence l’énorme besoin de promouvoir un
enseignement par l’Afrique et pour l’Afrique.
