Universities in Africa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universities in Africa, along with many in the developing world, face problems like fast-growing student numbers and competition from unregulated degree programmes. Overcrowding has forced institutions like Uganda's Makerere University to hold lectures in shifts, with classes held at nights and weekends.
