If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Should we really compare Malawian economy to that of USA? Serious?
Hello good people! The ongoing fees hike issue is for everyone especially we Malawians whose our children/wards are at different constituent colleges of the university of Malawi(UNIMA). Firstly I really appreciate that tertiary education at university is really expensive globally. However, we need to act as unit , a unit that knows Malawi and its economy, a unit that is not in USA, not in UK, not in Somalia u can name. These students r not fools, they r intellectuals, they have a basis why they are doing that. They depend on their parents /guardians for the fees. You and… Read more »
This protest is a sign that these students are not well acquainted with how expensive education is. In almost all developed countries, people pay huge amounts in fees. In the USA, while students may get some money in form of scholarships, its almost inevitable that they would attain their degree without a loan of some kind. Majority of the people owe loans that take so many years, almost half of their working life while paying back. With the economic situation prevailing world over, it is unrealistic to expect education and indeed many services to be provided free. The only realistic… Read more »

Crazy students, high fees will translate into quality in teaching and learning. High school fees should be no problem, and what these students should demand is to increase budgetary support to loans board so that the difference caused by the hike should be taken as loans and students should continue paying the same economic fees until, their parents get pay rise.

As such even for the Unima Council to give us ndalama ya SACCO (as we used to call it); we had to first protest and the same or next day, we were the richest men in Babylon (for a day or week). . . . Even in the year of the Hyena, when Section-65 stood in the way of the national budget; we took our buses to State House (which also used to house Parliament); and swore at, threatened and bashed cars… Read more »
That’s the way to go. Kodi iwowa ikanakhala kuti fees ili chonchi akanaphunzira? This is being insensitive to the needs of the citizens in this country. They want children of poor people not to be educated so that they flood these universities with their dull children. Think of that amount how many parents even those who are working can afford that. Surely if you had a president who grew up and attended Malawian schools or university would not accept this nosense. The one you have has no idea on the level of incomes in this country he thinks in dollar… Read more »
