Public-Private Partnership on Implementation of Higher Education in Universities

Amos Otieno Wanjara, Paul Okeyo Ogembo

Abstract


Partnerships or collaborations between Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) and public or private entities are arrangements that have immensely contributed to improved service delivery in teaching and research in the universities.  However, the mode of these partnerships sometimes derails the implementation of higher education in Kenya.  The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) reported on the implementation of university education in Kenya.  The objectives of the study were to: establish the extent to which PPP impacts the implementation of university programs, determine the impact of PPP on research collaboration with the universities, and establish the effects of PPP on universities’ infrastructural development.  This study reviewed relevant empirical literature whose meta-analysis.  The results showed that PPP is important in mitigating the financial gaps towards accomplishing necessary projects in universities.  The study recommends the exploration of avenues to strengthen PPP as a means of improving the implementation of higher education.
