    November 22, 2011

    Propelled in part by the Occupy Wall Street movement and in part by economic and budget woes, the Occupy protest movement on California college campuses is transforming itself into a student-led crusade against increases in tuition. A video that showed University of California, Davis, police officers using pepper spray on peacefully seated protesters has gone viral, galvanizing protesters on other campuses across California. After years of watching the state’s budget for higher education…

    November 17, 2011

    Opposition MP Mohamed Habib Mnyaa has blamed Tanzania’s government for not taking higher-education improvements seriously. Said Mnyaa, “About 25,000 students in Kenya and 17,000 in Uganda are graduating from higher-learning institutions annually, compared to 9,150 students in Tanzania.” He then challenged the government to put emphasis on higher education if it wanted to compete with its East African neighbors.

Thousands have taken part in the boycott against legislation that student leaders say is meant to privatize public education. Top officials of President…

    November 16, 2011

    More than six months after they launched nationwide protests to reform education in Chile, student activists have won widespread public support and inspired similar actions in other parts of South America–but they have not brought about any of the major changes they say are needed to save their schools, including greater public funding to make education fairer and affordable.   College tuition in Chile still ranks among the highest in the…

    The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico’s largest university, will make virtually all of its publications, databases, and course materials freely available on the Internet over the next few years—a move that some academics speculated could push other universities in the region to follow suit. Campus officials said the All of UNAM Online program could double or triple the institution’s 3.5 million publicly available Web pages, making it the largest…

    November 10, 2011

    A report released today by a British parliamentary committee that oversees higher education is highly critical of the government’s reform plans, which introduces steep tuition increases, changes in the student-loan and student-support systems, a new university financing model, and a new regulatory framework for higher education. The committee warns that the plans risk channeling some students into “a low-cost model of higher education.” The report comes out a day after students once…

    A strike by lecturers in Kenya’s public universities has entered its second day as the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) ignored a directive by the government to resume duties. A former trustee of the University Non Teaching Staff Union (UNTESU) said that it was only the union’s Secretary General Charles Mukhwaya who is mandated to call off the strike, and he had not done so yet. UASU Secretary General Muga K’olale said…
