4 - Social Value of Research and Technical Skills: Does It Justify Investment in Higher Education for Development?
Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique,
Vol. 2 No 1 (2004): Revue de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique
Résumé
Les résultats provenant des études domestiques, collectés de 1985 à 1998 au Ghana, en Côte d’Ivoire, au Kenya, et en Afrique du Sud indiquent que dans ces pays, les salaires élevés servent de compensation aux individus, pour qu’ils puissent s’inscrire à l’école. L’on croit généralement que les retours de salaire pour la scolarité sont plus élevés au primaire et diminuent au niveau secondaire, mais les données sur l’Afrique résumées ici prouvent le contraire, et montrent que les retours privés sur salaire sont plus élevés au niveau du secondaire et du supérieur. Il semble y avoir aujourd’hui suffisamment de mesures incitatives pour motiver les étudiants pour qu’ils intègrent l’enseignement supérieur et toutes les subventions publiques doivent être attribuées uniquement aux étudiants issus de familles pauvres et dont les parents ont reçu un niveau d’éducation relativement faible par rapport à ceux de leur génération. Si les étudiants africains de l’enseignement supérieur de familles aisées payaient des droits de scolarité correspondant à la moitié des subventions publiques, ces revenus ainsi engrangés pourraient alors financer des bourses pour les étudiants défavorisés, mais également fournir des ressources et des mesures incitatives pour développer l’enseignement supérieur dans les domaines où il existe peu de main-d’œuvre qualifiée sur le continent. Ils permettraient ainsi de créer des conditions adéquates pour une meilleure auto-gouvernance de l’enseignement supérieur, tout en assurant une séparation raisonnable d’avec le pouvoir politique.
