I just want to know how can one verify that all Universities were assessed or at least were subjected to the assessemnt. In particular I would like to find out about the Univeristy of the Free State in South Africa which cannot at least on the set criteria be beyond number 100 and the National University of Lesotho which of course could benefit from this kind of assessment if properly used.
Dear Shale,
You are addressing a very interesting problem. Almost all international ratings are subject of critics. We think that only contradictory analysis could help proving that the current classification is wrong.
With best regards

c’est vraiment deguelas qu’aucune université camerounaise ne fait pas partie des 100 meilleures universités en Afrique. cela montre combien de fois les choses ne sont pas prises au serieux au cameroun.ainsi on peut en deduire les fléaux sociaux tels que:le chomage,la corruption,etc.
esperons que les grandes réalisations vont aussi toucher le secteur universitaire.
