With deep sadness and sorrow, we inform that Arlene Gilpin, Tuning Expert and our beloved colleague, peacefully passed away on 08 September 2017.

The deadline for sending the final version of your contribution to participate in the STUDENT VOICE in African Harmonization Process in Higher Education in Africa has been extended until July 10, 2017

Among African universities, many of which are rooted in struggling national economies, the issue of graduate employability and entrepreneurship has taken centre stage over the past few years. An Africa-led European Union programme known as ‘Tuning’ is helping to improve graduate employability by facilitating the redesign of university programmes with an eye on student learning outcomes.

Students must become full partners in higher education development to keep it tuned to current and changing demands, according to the two students who presented their cases at the 14th Association of African Universities or AAU General Conference and Golden Jubilee Celebrations held in Accra, Ghana, on 6 June.

We invite you to be one of these students and bring your fellow students’ voices into the higher education harmonization discussions in Africa. Your contribution can be in any form(at) you like: essay, report, power point, video. You will need to send the contribution (in English, French or Portuguese). The deadline for sending the final version of your contribution is 15 January 2017
