HE: Pathways to personal & public good: understanding access to, student experiences of, & outcomes from South African undergraduate higher education

该国际中心伙伴关系位于高等教育专题领域。这是ESRC/HEFCE资助的全球高等教育中心与南非开普敦、罗兹和自由州大学的NRF项目集群之间的合作。国际中心伙伴关系将通过三个相互关联的主题审查南非从本科教育到个人和公共产品的途径：接受高等教育的机会;学生在学习期间的经历;以及大学毕业生对经济和社会的贡献。它汇集了来自英国，南非和更远地方的国际领先的高等教育研究人员，以探索这些主题之间的关系。通过将这三个问题结合在一起，它将进一步了解本科教育如何有助于个人和社会转型。该伙伴关系还将通过发展南非博士后研究人员的国际网络骨干，他们将有机会与高等教育领域的国际领先研究人员长期合作。这些机会将通过纳入全球高等教育中心更广泛的能力建设和职业发展活动而得到进一步加强。高等教育已被证明在个人和社会的经济和社会发展中发挥着关键作用;2.这种合作将增加对本科教育做出这种形式贡献的方式的理解;3.它将利用这一认识为政策制定者、管理者和从业人员开发资源，以进一步发展南非高等教育;4.它借鉴了英国在高等教育研究方面的优势，汇集了一批国际上优秀的高等教育研究人员;它建立了南非博士后研究人员的能力，并将他们纳入一个更大的国际网络早期职业高等教育研究人员群体。

This International Centre Partnership is located within the Higher Education Thematic area. It is a collaboration between the ESRC/HEFCE funded Centre for Global Higher Education and a cluster of NRF projects in South Africa located at the Universities of Cape Town, Rhodes, and the Free State. The International Centre Partnership will examine the pathways from an undergraduate education to personal and public goods in South Africa through three interlinked themes: access to higher education; students' experiences whilst studying; and the economic and social contributions made by university graduates. It brings together internationally leading higher education researchers from the UK, South Africa and further afield in order to explore the relations between these themes. In bringing together these three issues, it will further understanding of the ways in which an undergraduate education contributes to both personal and social transformation The partnership will also make a significant contribution to capacity building through the development of an internationally networked cadre of South African post-doctoral researchers, who will have the opportunity to work with internationally leading researchers in the field of higher education over a sustained period of time. These opportunities will be further enhanced by their inclusion within the wider capacity building and career development activities of the Centre for Global Higher Education.The collaboration is ODA compliant because:1. Higher Education has been shown to play a key role in the economic and social development of individuals and societies;2. The collaboration will increase understanding of the way in which an undergraduate education makes this form of contribution;3. It will use this understanding to develop resources for policy makers, managers and practitioners to further develop South African Higher Education;4. It draws on the UK strengths in higher education research and brings together an internationally excellent group of higher education researchers;5. It builds the capacity of South African post-doctoral researchers and includes them in a larger group of internationally networked early-career higher education researchers.
