Abstract: | This study examined the role of Private Higher Education Institutions
(PHEIs) in students’ readiness for Higher Education (HE) in Addis Ababa. It
attempted to identify the practices in and collaboration between Preparatory
Schools (PSs) and PHEIs in producing HE-ready students. To this effect,
data were collected from randomly selected 15 PHEIs, five PSs and a board
member of the Private Higher Education (PHE) and Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institutions’ Association through
questionnaire and interview. The results show that apart from the
fragmented and minor efforts made by PHEIs after students joined the
Higher Education (HE), the sector has a long way to go in assisting PSs to
produce HE-ready students. The link between PSs and PHEIs appears
missing. However, PHEI leaders believe that student readiness should be
part of their institutional responsibilities and they need to collaborate with
PSs to ensure that students join HE well-prepared. |
