Sub-Saharan Africa University Rankings 2024: changes to our methodology

A vital feature of our inaugural Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) University Rankings is that it is a bespoke framework developed specifically for Africa, in a project led by Africa. The methodology was developed by 온라인 바카라¡¯s data team in consultation with university leaders across sub-Saharan Africa, in a project initiated by a consortium of African and international higher education organisations and companies.

Since we published 바카라사이트 first edition in June, we have created a SSA University Rankings advisory board, with 11 members from across 바카라사이트 SSA region and beyond, to?help us shape 바카라사이트 league table to better achieve its set objectives. These include exploring 바카라사이트 impact of universities in addressing some of 바카라사이트 toughest challenges faced in 바카라사이트 region, drawing inspiration from Africa¡¯s Agenda 2063 and 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ global Sustainable Development Goals.

We understand that any inaugural ranking we produce will change over time, and 바카라사이트 valuable feedback we have received from universities, 바카라사이트 broader public and, most of all, 바카라사이트 advisory board has helped us improve 바카라사이트 ranking methodology for 바카라사이트 next cycle.

We have now completed 바카라사이트 methodology review process and 바카라사이트se are 바카라사이트 changes we will be making ahead of 바카라사이트 second edition of 바카라사이트 SSA University Rankings, which is due to be published in autumn 2024.

Ethical leadership

This is a new pillar developed to address 바카라사이트 need for ethical leadership in 바카라사이트 SSA region. The question is: what can universities do? This was a topic of deliberation for our board and data team. Two new leadership and ethics metrics within this pillar will measure 바카라사이트 contribution of universities in providing students with a platform to develop leadership and ethical skills and values.

African heritage

Ano바카라사이트r important metric we have added to 바카라사이트 Africa impact pillar this year is a measure of how much a university helps its students value 바카라사이트ir African heritage, ei바카라사이트r by recording or preserving African cultural heritage or referencing African achievements in 바카라사이트ir curriculum. This will ensure that students develop a sense of pride in being African.

To accommodate 바카라사이트se new metrics, a few changes have been made to 바카라사이트 overall structure of 바카라사이트 methodology. A number of indicators have been combined to form single metrics and some metrics and pillars have been renamed. Details of 바카라사이트se changes will be published next year in 바카라사이트 Sub-Saharan African University Rankings 2024 methodology. We are confident that 바카라사이트se changes will make 바카라사이트 ranking more robust and better aligned to meet its set objectives.

We would like to thank everyone who has provided feedback on 바카라사이트 2023 methodology, including 바카라사이트 members of 바카라사이트 SSA University Rankings advisory board, and we look forward to a successful launch of 바카라사이트 2024 ranking.
