Résumé




Ce papier utilise l’analyse sur le genre pour montrer l’urgence du développement de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique. Les statistiques existantes montrent que malgré l’absence d’exclusions formelles, l’insertion de la femme dans les institu- tions de l’enseignement supérieur—comme étudiants ou comme employés—est encore lente et inégale, d’où l’a nécessité de voir au-delà des chiffres. Toute forme d’exclusion et de marginalisation existe dans l’administration et dans le cursus universitaire mais c’est pire à un niveau supérieur universitaires et en position de chercheurs. Cette persistance d’une extrême inégalité du genre est pour la plupart du temps facilement et souvent attribuée aux facteurs socio familiaux externes. Il est cependant démontré ici, qu’il y a suffisamment de preuve pour dire que malgré les demandes institutionnelles et directoriales pour la neutralité dans l’administration, la culture institutionnelle et intellectuelle des institutions africaines est en fait, filtrer à travers une dynamique sexuelle et du genre.
