Description
The then-Minister of Education explores the role of universities in a "developmental state." She argues that universities cannot exist in a vacuum or seek "insulation" from social forces like poverty and underdevelopment. Pandor emphasizes that higher education must produce skilled graduates and responsive research to support the political and economic integration of Africa.
