That the House -
(1) notes the signing of a multilateral memorandum of agreement between six African universities on African University Day, 12 November 2010;
(2) further notes that this agreement hopes to ensure the development of the next generation of African academics and professionals and the reinvigoration of African scholarship;
(3) acknowledges the importance of this partnership for the next generation of African academics to stemming the brain drain in Africa and in creating new opportunities for collaborative research and exchange among institutions;
(4) recognises the importance of higher education in the fight against poverty and the need for continental collaboration; and
(5) congratulates the University of Stellenbosch for the success of its Hope Project, and its contribution to this continental agreement. Agreed to.
