Abstract

Today public policy around the world is being focused on education in a way that has not previously been prominent. Human services have become an important aspect of trade for many countries and the demand for human capital is now growing globally (Bashir, 2007). As higher education is recognized as an important ingredient in the development of human and social capital (Bassanni and Scarpetta, 2001), policies relating to it are becoming central to the economic and public policy of both developed and developing countries. A direct consequence of this has been expansion of higher education through government policies to increase participation and access. The major challenges for governments from this global trend relate to funding expansion and ensuring maintenance of standards.
