Abstract:
As indicated in the title, this paper will be largely speculative in nature. It must be, as the policies discussed are not fully implemented or, in at least one case (the use of performance indicators) not in place at all. It may be quite foolhardy to indulge in a spot of crystal ball gazing about the future direction of tertiary education in this country, but I believe that the attempt must be made, or we shall find ourselves overwhelmed by the change which seems to be inevitable and likely to be both rapid and far-reaching.
