LONG-TERM RECOMMENDATIONS Haiti must create a new university founded on the international university model for the

production of advanced scientific and professional degrees. The objective is to place Haitian advanced education on the same footing as that of its

neighbors in Latin America so that Haiti can begin to become economically involved in the knowledge based industries that accelerate economic growth.

Progress toward intermediate and long term goals require a strategic reworking of educational priorities, increasing ties to global research initiatives, institutes, and recruiting a greater number of full-time instructors and professors with more advanced academic training (i.e. Ph.D. and M.A. degrees).

Rebuilding efforts for higher education should correct for the over-concentration of institutions of higher education in the Department of the Ouest, especially in Port-au-Prince. This centralization is problematic in at least two respects: 1) it favors the development of

the Ouest to the detriment of other departments, thus encouraging internal migration to the capital; and 2) it also increases the vulnerability of the system to natural calamities. Higher education needs to be decentralized along with other social services and economic development.
