Abstract

This chapter focuses on the quality assurance (QA) trends and responses in the wake of the internationalisation of higher education (HE) and within the call of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Enunciated is that internationalisation is inherent in the triple mission of HE through a combination of activities, policies and procedures. Hence, it reaches to the heart and meaning of “university” and into every facet of its operation – from teaching and education to research and scholarship, to enterprise and innovation and to the culture and ethos of the institution; and, accordingly, it ushers the students and staff in the realm of international competition. Basing on the phenomenon that universities in Africa have the desire to internationalise to strengthen and consolidate their potential and mission, the chapter interrogates the extent to which internationalisation of HE has triggered QA trends and responses in Africa. Recommended is that HE in the continent should endeavour to match the internationalisation drive while retaining her ethical standards.
