Résumé
Cet article traite de divers régimes de taxes internationales au sein des universités africaines. Il vise à susciter des débats autour de ce sujet peu considéré. Mon objectif n’est pas seulement de contester une telle politique, mais aussi de produire un cadre sociologique qui permet aux africains de participer au développement du système éducatif là où ils ont choisi d’étudier. Ce travail s’adresse au programme des décideurs et intervenants africains. En se concentrant sur les régimes de frais différentiels, il est possible de montrer comment une telle politique empiète de manière très complexe et subtile sur les débats actuels de l’africanisation de l’enseignement supérieur. Sans mésestimer les efforts déployés récemment, je voudrais suggérer que la promotion d’un environnement « tout inclus » de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique, sans une politique de scolarité unifiée, nie tous les efforts effectués en faveur d’un programme africain. L’exemple est tiré du Processus de Bologne et des défis qu’un tel développement présente au continent africain.
