Our study analyzes the persistence of the proliferation of higher education and university institutions in the Democratic Republic of Congo in rural areas of the territory of Bulungu, Kwilu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo by politicians, teacherpoliticians, teachers and some officials of these educational institutions as well as the local populations of these rural areas. while the balance sheet of the contributions of this phenomenon shows the dominance of disadvantages over advantages. Notwithstanding these enormous challenges and closures of some institutions for reasons of viability and/or reliability, this phenomenon still persists.The two major causes of this persistence are that higher education and university institutions are seenas weapons of struggle for intergroup hegemony and means of financial enrichment.
