The quest for gender equity through internationalisation strategies at higher education institutions in the Western Cape, South Africa

Abstract

Most African countries have embraced the internationalisation of higher education. Sehoole (2006) reports that internationalisation has taken centre stage in the development of higher education, and South Africa is no exception to this trend. In fact, South Africa has been ranked as the leader in pursuing the internationalisation of higher education in Africa (Baty, 2010; Kwaramba, 2009).
