This study investigated the Influence of Privatization of Higher Education on Students’
Equitable Access to Higher Education: A case of St. Augustine University of Tanzania
(SAUT), Main Campus Mwanza. The study sought to achieve four specific objectives
which were: to find out how enrollment to SAUT has increased since its establishment in
1998; to examine the strategies that SAUT employs to increase access to higher
education; to explore challenges that SAUT faces in its endeavor to increase equitable
access to higher education; and to identify ways that might be used to enhance equitable
access to higher education Institutions.
The study was conducted at SAUT, Mwanza main campus and mixed research approach
was used. The total number of respondents was 99 including 6 staff and 93 students who
were sampled using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Interview,
questionnaires, documentary review and focus group discussion were used as instruments
in the study for data collection.
Findings from the study show that in general people acquire knowledge through different
opportunities that appear in their lives due to the aspect of poverty in our country. The
emergence of privatization of higher education had brought many far from where they
were before. Findings show that there is a possibility for getting equitable access to
higher education if somebody got informed about sponsorship and were aware of higher
educational policy that had helped many universities and other tertiary institutions to be
opened all over the country. The findings have also revealed that there is an increasing
number of students enrolled every year because of different strategies used by the private
universities to tap the students.
The study recommends that both public and private sectors should work hand in hand to
assure the equitability of access to higher education is provided to both kinds of people.
Although it can be observed that by now many are getting education, but there are lots of
people who are in great need of getting education but they don’t have that access. So the
government should think about it so as to provide big number of educated people who
may work for the benefit of both, the country and individuals. |
