Abstract

Prior to COVID-19, a digital divide and inequality already existed within higher education (HE) in developing countries; however, the global pandemic has exacerbated this further. Although universities in developing countries are doing their best to remain relevant and meet the demands of their students, there is no doubt that they are struggling and looking to take a different approach in dealing with the impact of the pandemic. This book provides a theoretical insight to assist HE managers and other stakeholders in overcoming these challenges and helping them to understand the impact of COVID-19 on HE delivery and how they can cope with the ʼnew normal’ post the pandemic. The introductory chapter highlights what we set out to do, including our aims and objectives. This is followed by our actions regarding coverage and content. The final section highlights what is outstanding in the form of research for reimagining educational futures in developing countries.
