Aga Khan University (AKU) is organising a two-day conference on Higher
Education in Developing Countries: With a Focus on Muslim Contexts. The
conference will be held at The Congress Centre, 28 Great Russell Street,
London WC1B 3LS.

In recent years, higher education has started to regain its importance
in academic and policy discussions both in developed and developing
countries, including those with substantial Muslim populations. A series
of reports have been written in the last decade on the state of higher
education in developing countries. A study of these reports shows that
there is a broad similarity among the issues faced by higher education
in these countries. With differing intensities the issues revolve around
vision, mission, openness and independence, funding, human resources,
governance, teaching materials and approaches and research.
