Abstract

Universities Exist to Progress the Well Being of Society through Values-Based Education University education plays a vital role in the welfare and well-being of global society. Good education obtained through Higher Education systems underpins prosperity and stability. The primary functions of universities are to educate students, perform innovative and horizont- broadening research and transfer new knowledge for the benefit of society. Higher education furthers research and thinking that make a positive vision of the future of humanity possible through identifying untapped resources, developing critical leadership qualities of the young students and generating strategies, which make knowledge a productive activity. To achieve this in a globally changing and challenging environment, universities need to be flexible enough in their structures, management and culture to establish new interdisciplinary, interdepartmental centers for working on the scientific fields of tomorrow. The current challenges are to provide trans-disciplinary education that is recognized and transferable around the world. This is the crux of the matter for many higher education institutions in Africa and elsewhere on the globe
