Higher Education and Funding Strategies for Knowledge Generation of Releance: A Comparative Study between Mozambique and Brazil
Downloads
Abstract
Research has shown a strong correlation between the longevity of the African continent and the geneses of higher education. However, most of the African countries including Mozambique still lag behind with regards to higher education placement in the international ranking and competition. Funding strategies for both knowledge generation and research incentives are considerably seen as key factors that enhance university performance and success. For most of African countries the insufficiency of both political and economic independence has led to a sharp marginalization of higher education and reliance on external donors. Drawing from the above captioned evidence, this paper aims at investigating the development process of Mozambican higher education. It argues that experiences from Brazil concerning maximization of research funding agencies for strengthening higher education can be contextualized as a means of revitalizing universities after decades of depreciation.
Key words: Higher Education. Funding. Brazil. Mozambique
