Albeit one of the largest systems in the continent, the sector has received little research attention in the past. The book bridges this gap by marshalling a variety of current themes and issues with their wider implications for continental and global higher education. The chapters are structured in such a way that general readers, professionals and students of higher education can have a good grasp of the Ethiopian higher education sector as a microcosm of the African higher education ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Series Editors’ Preface  Acknowledgements  List of Acronyms  About the Authors    Introduction    PART 1: Access and Equity  1 Linking Female Students’ Access to Success    2 Gender Parity and the Leaking Pipeline    3 Disability in Higher Education: From Policy to Practice    4 Responding to the Needs of Eritrean Refugees in Ethiopia    5 A New Refugee Law: Implications for Higher Education    6 Closing the Gender Gap in Higher Education Leadership    7 Perpetuating Inequity Despite Higher Education Expansion    PART 2: HE Governance and Management  8 Government-University Relations: A Troubled Marriage    9 The Shifting Sands of University Management in Ethiopia    10 Do Students Have a Say in University Governance?    11 University Boards: Visibility, Efficiency and Accountability    12 Towards More Achievable University Vision Statements    13 What Next for a Partially Differentiated Higher Education System?
