Résumé

Faisant usage d’une combinaison de données générées par le recensement de publicités au Nigéria entre 2001 et 2006 et de données secondaires sur les Nigérians inscrits dans les universités situées hors du pays, cette étude présente quelques preuves sur l’existence et la magnitude des inscriptions à l’extérieur et du type d’échange dans l’éducation supérieure. Nous avons trouvé que les inscriptions pour l’éducation supérieure à l’étranger ont augmenté sans une régulation explicite des organes régulateurs du Nigeria. L’étude montre qu’il y a un développement dans le marché local des agences de recrutement et un besoin de régulation, non seulement pour assurer un contrôle de qualité, mais aussi pour éviter des collusions entre les étudiants locaux, les agences de recrutement, les institutions académiques de l’extérieur et les ambassades. Par conséquent, l’étude propose la mise sur pied d’un comité technique pour donner des conseils sur les questions qui concernent les négociations sur l’éducation supérieure durant les rencontres de l’OMC, mais aussi pour jeter les bases claires du processus et des dynamiques d’échanges au bénéfice des citoyens et du pays.
