This book focuses on higher education in Ethiopia, analysing persisting inequalities
and policy responses against the backdrop of the extensive expansion and reform that
the system has experienced in recent years. Drawing on empirical data generated through
interviews, policy reviews and focus-group discussions, it explicates factors of structural
inequality ranging from neoliberal policy orientations to repressive gender culture
and geo-political peripherality.In a departure from conventional studies that consider
policy a response to social problems, the book takes a critical perspective to show
the constitutive role of policy, and explains how the representation of the problem
of social inequality undermines equity policy outcomes in Ethiopian higher education.
Not only does the book problematise the framing of the problem of inequality in the
system, it also outlines strategies for designing transformative equity instruments.
In explaining structural factors of inequality and equity provisions, the book productively
combines sociological concepts with historical accounts and political economy insights.Given
the increased economic optimism associated with higher education in sub-Saharan Africa
and the neoliberal ideals underpinning much of the restructuring of the system in
the region, this is a timely and important contribution that sheds light on the social
justice implications and consequences of such changes. It offers fresh accounts of
largely neglected qualitative cases of inequality, making it a valuable read for students
and researchers in the areas of Ethiopian education policy studies, international
and comparative education, and international development
