This publication reviews staff development in higher education as a key to reversing the deterioration of universities in developing nations and to fostering self-reliance and attaining institutional ideals. Part 1 describes the crisis in higher education in developing nations and considers expansion, supply of academic faculty, localization of staff, staff retention, new universities and disciplines, postgraduate studies, and women in higher education. Part 2 looks at staff development including challenges in academic development, professional and career development, instructional development, management skills, changing technology, and organizational environment and support. Key issues are faculty shortages and poor instruction for students. Part 3 describes policy directions for staff development. Part 4 reviews the structure and organization of staff development activities which include national and regional arrangements, networks, funding, and monitoring. Part 5 describes what staff development providers who responded to a survey have done to meet challenges in their field. Part 6 reviews international aid in staff development and covers north south relations, international assistance programs, and the impact of donor assistance. Part 7 draws together principal findings and outlines directions in staff development taking into consideration the needs specific to developing nations. In particular the chapter discusses key factors, the nature and scope of staff development, policy focuses, policy development and institutionalization of staff development, program structure and organization, funding, delivery mechanisms, and donor assistance.
