| Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to outline challenges and opportunities for quality assurance of cross-border higher education in East Africa. It is established that besides providing nations with a range of benefits and opportunities, cross-border higher education may threaten the provision of quality higher education in a number of ways. For example, cross-border higher education tends to cater to an affluent market and despite the high cost of their offerings their quality is often disputed. This study argues for the necessity of countries to collaborate in provision and regulation of higher education. Advancements in science and technology, among others, accelerate the paradigm shift from restrictive conventional higher education to a borderless educational provision. As such, higher education provided across East African countries ought to be in compliance with other international guidelines and standards in order to prepare globally competitive individuals. |
