UNIVERSITY DEV.II

closed

As the first phase of a ten-year program (l985-94) to build up high-level technical and managerial manpower for national development, the Secoond University Development Project aims to promote policy and institutional changes related to the engineering and economics/finance education subsector. Objectives include: (a) relatively faster growth of enrollment in economics/finance and postgraduate education; (b) broadening of present over-specialized curricula; (c) accelerated in-service training and promotion of younger faculty; (d) strengthening of experimental work and academic support services such as computer and audio-visual centers and libraries; (e) improvement in longer-term manpower planning, facilities planning and university resource utilization; and (f) introduction of project monitoring and evaluation. In support of the program, the project would help finance: (a) equipment and materials including books and journals related to engineering and economics/finance for about 35 subproject universities; and (b) technical assistance and equipment for five national programs comprising specialist services, fellowships, staff exchange, studies, and training centers.
