Abstract

Higher education in developing countries faces tremendous challenges. Universities are expected to contribute to social and economic development by delivering quality higher education to a fast growing number of students. This requires both quantitative and qualitative capacity development of the higher education sector in developing countries to increase enrollment rates and improve quality of educational programs and graduates. Different roadmaps exist in different countries. This paper focuses on the Ethiopian situation and aims at describing how the Ethiopian higher education system was able to realize growth and what its future ambitions are. Also, characteristics and challenges of the higher education system are included. At the university level, specific attention will be given to the 13 new public universities: illustrative case studies from three new public universities are included describing history, current situation, results achieved, ambitions and challenges.
