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

这一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设在开普敦大学、罗兹大学和自由州大学的南非国家基金会项目群之间的合作。国际中心伙伴关系将通过三个相互关联的主题来考察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、南非和更远地区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促进个人和社会变革。伙伴关系还将通过发展一支与国际联网的南非博士后研究人员队伍，为能力建设作出重大贡献，他们将有机会在持续的一段时间内与高等教育领域的国际领先研究人员合作。将这些机会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，将进一步加强这些机会。合作是符合官方发展援助的，因为：1.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关键作用；2.合作将增加对本科生教育如何做出这种形式贡献的理解；3.它将利用这种理解为政策制定者、管理人员和实践者开发资源，以进一步发展南非高等教育；4.它借鉴英国在高等教育研究方面的优势，并汇聚一批国际优秀的高等教育研究人员；5.它培养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联网的早期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.
