In developing countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan the trend of privatization of  the Higher education is very high because in these countries the government cannot support according to the demand. The trend is that a large number of students are going abroad for study who never return their countries.

Hello, 

The following articles are related to MOOC's applications:

I am actually developing a concept on a similar idea. But I am not able to find studies that directly address the two: Financing education in among the poor communities. However, the approach I have decided to take is that  multidisciplinary in nature.  When I come across something I will share some sources.

I can recommend a few references that I hope can enhance your search on information on the future of education in developing countries, the Kenyan perspective. Google Daniel N. Sifuna, Fatuma Chege, Fredrick M. Nafukho among a few.

Best of Luck

Petar,

I am looking into conducting research in Africa.  So, basically we are researching something similar.  Poor education is firstly because of (as some-one already stated) lack of government funding.  Corruption is a dark shadow part of the fiber of most all of the developing countries.  The little money there is, is not allocated where it is suppose to go.  Add to the mixture a high population growth, poor healthcare, food shortage, and the lack of something so basic as clean water.  I have a dream for an educated Africa, and for them to have access to information.  The sad part is, if you are hungry, as so many kids in Africa are, information and education does not matter, because none of the two can fill a belly and help you to sleep warm.

For information on education funding, go to the webpage of the World Bank and search for info. In addition also look for information on the UNESCO website and search for the Millennium Development Goals.

Good luck.

Riana

Ziauddin Zardar's Introducing Philosophy of Science, a graphic guide might give you the background reading as to how one would approach this issue. This book provides some background information regarding the nature of knowledge from different theoretical perspectives. He correlates the imbalance in scientific development to lack of public participation. In the countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh the system of democracy is in infancy, let alone active public participation in science. Interestingly he mentions about Science shop which was first instituted in the Netherlands that helped the country to popularize science and harness science for the sake of betterment of society. 

This book is not expensive,  very small and contains numerous illustrations.

Africa’s universities are selling the future to pay for today

The future of African innovation, democracy and development hinges on our willingness to reclaim the university’s purpose before it is irrevocably lost to the market. Public institutions should be reinvested in to be engines of knowledge, pillars of democracy, and beacons of hope for a more equitable future...
