About Us
Enhancing African and Global Peace, Happiness, and Prosperity
The missions of the African Higher Education and Research Observatory are to:
- enhance African and global peace, happiness and prosperity, through curriculum innovations, skills-based training, and best practices in education and research;
- train new kinds of academics, graduates, and professionals, who are extraordinarily empowered to use multidisciplinary knowledge to resolve challenging societal and organisational problems, with creating, synthesising, responsible, and ethical minds;
- democratise a Corporate-Academic Research and Enterprise Development (CARED) educational philosophy, by which advanced research is spun-off into social and for-profit enterprises, which sustain continual entrepreneurial wealth creation;
- anchor this wealth creation on radical innovations in research, teaching, learning, assessments, consulting, and community services, which lead to profound personal, organisational, enterprise, national, continental, and global socio-economic development and excellence;
- enable African countries to achieve the 2030 United Nations Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the forms of: poverty eradication; critical, innovative and entrepreneurial education; research-driven business and economic development; effective knowledge exchange networks, academic development and research consortia, strategic partnerships with higher educational institutions, world bodies, governments, and industry;
- consequently, make African higher education globally preeminent using all insights in key higher education literature, for example Jonathan R. Cole (2009)’s The Great American University;
- importantly, spread these ideas pervasively in Africa and developing countries of the Global South through an innovative ecosystem of digital, entrepreneurial universities, and platforms;
- promote mutually beneficial Transnational and Translational Higher Education Initiatives among African universities and key regions of the world – UK, Europe, US (The Americas), China, India, Japan, Asia generally, and Middle East.
