Abstract
In 2020, the African Regional Forum on Sustainable Development
proclaimed Africa would only attain the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) if “universities in Africa collaborate in research, teaching
and community or societal engagement” (Ligami, 2020). In 2022, the
UNESCO World Higher Education conference called on universities to
“reshape ideas and practices in higher education to ensure sustainable
development for the planet and humanity” (UNESCO, 2022). While
there are regular calls for African universities to improve their teaching,
finding ways to do this within the resources and the available time
in already stretched institutions, at the scale required, have proven
elusive. This chapter is a reflexive exercise, discussing the work of an
international partnership, Transforming Employability for Social Change
in East Africa (TESCEA), that aimed to reshape habits of teaching and
learning in institutions of higher education.1
We, as TESCEA partners
and authors of this chapter, hope that our example can make a significant
contribution towards understanding how change can happen in higher
education, and particularly in resource-constrained settings.
