The list includes global rankings and other key figures. The conversation surrounding tertiary education is engraved in the very fabric of the global economy.
While modern trends have debunked the myth that formal education, particularly tertiary learning is the only way to a sustainable future, it is undeniable that education puts you in a better position to succeed.
This is why education is a prime sector of focus for any government in the world. It is not far-fetched to surmise that the state of any country’s higher institutions denotes its economic prominence on the world stage. Students would go as far as migrating to get the best quality education, and in most cases pour back the knowledge they’ve acquired into the said country in which they obtained tuition.
As a result, a reiterated debate among intellectuals and literates is the subject of the best universities in the world. Everyone seeking the very finest curriculum wants to know where they can get it, regardless of whether or not they have to go overseas for it.
Countries like America have even developed a system of categorizing their higher institutions, christening the very best as Ivy League.
With that, the question is, what universities in Africa are Ivy League? Which are the best tertiary institutions in the motherland? This an important question for Africans looking to maximize their pursuit of knowledge without having to leave the continent.
