Share As I have extensively discussed in the previous editions, private universities are the flagship of the Nigerian education sector as the premier private universities have consistently outperformed the public universities in terms of quality education, technological advancements, infrastructures, etc. To put this contention in proper perspective, last week, I highlighted some of the accolades attributed to the Afe Babalola University which has been remarked as the ‘model, benchmark and reference point’ for university education in Nigeria. Equally, I commenced an examination of the grants and financial support given to private universities by the governments of other countries, and the rationale for such assistance, which essentially is to permit both the poor and the rich in the society to access the quality education provided by private universities. This week, I will proceed to give illustrations on the extent of government support for educational advancements in private universities over the world.
