This will be achieved through intensive participant interaction over carefully selected case studies and other material, in a process facilitated by eminent Resource Persons. In the finalisation of the curriculum of SUMA VIII it would be helpful if you could indicate on your application form what topics you would like emphasised. In addition to simulations and group discussions, the programme of the workshop will focus on analysis of case material based on experiences in higher education policy and management in Africa and internationally. Each participant is required to prepare and send in advance a case study on a policy or management issue related to one of the themes of the workshop.
Studies based on personal knowledge and experience are particularly welcome.
One or two of participant cases may be adapted for use at the workshop. The programme has emphasized to me some important issues which have been overlooked in university management. The exchange of experiences between university functionaries from different backgrounds was very rewarding. The lecturers were fantastic as they warmly presented cases and shared experiences. I will surely recommend SUMA Series for my colleagues.
