| Summary: | For any country to develop, it should be able to conduct research to generate knowledge
necessary to solve problems of humanity by producing necessary goods and services.
Research is essential for any nation’s success. Most goods and services consumed
today are products of research conducted in developed countries by post-graduate
students. Unfortunately, most post-graduate students in developing countries face
a lot of challenges that limit their ability to engage in original research that should
be published in refereed journals and to acquire necessary patents accordingly.
Curriculum gaps inhibit most graduate students in low-resource settings from
engaging in productive research necessary to transform the developing country’s
economy. Hence, the chapter discusses the importance of research engagement and
strategies to fill curriculum gaps in the postgraduate programs to enhance research
engagement among the post-graduate students in low-resource settings. |
