Access to Education: A Global Perspective

As more individuals around the world pursue college degrees and the costs of state-supported education escalates, policy makers are left with the dilemma of determining how to cut costs without sacrificing access to education.An international conference in Africa on higher-education financing, made possible by a $130,000 grant to UB's Graduate School of Education from the Ford Foundation, will attempt to shed light on this growing predicament.The conference, which will be held March 24-28 in Dar es Salaam, is a collaborative effort between UB and the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania."In most African nations a huge demand for higher education is greatly outpacing the capacity of the tax systems to continue providing this higher education free of charge.
