About this book

As Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) celebrates having grown to witness and mark the achievements of 25 years of existence, the School of Postgraduate Studies and Research found it crucial to invite scholars to reflect on how institutions of higher learning, especially in Africa, can make a better contribution going forward. The focus of the book was mainly inspired by the vast challenges facing higher education today: commercialisation, cutthroat competition, funding, quality of teaching, staffing, relevance, leadership, employability, sustainability, and ethics. These inform the trajectory and spirit of this book in view of generating ideas for improvement. The book is sectioned into three parts. The first section addresses focus and pedagogy in institutions of higher learning. It weaves together the educational vision of Archbishop Joseph Kiwanuka with pedagogical initiatives and possibilities at UMU and beyond. The second section focuses on curricular innovations both at UMU and in suggestion. The third section discusses management and administration strategies for higher education in areas of alumni management, university marketing, and talent management.
