TESAM has a point. The problem with DPP supporters is that they don’t want to listen to other views. Their thinking is that APM is infallible: Whatever he comes up with has to be right. The problem we have is that since 1994, each president wants to be identified with a particular institution or programme. Existing institutions are ignored. Each president wants to be identified with a new university, never mind that existing universities are grossly underfunded.

Certificate or not,the bottom line is that the students will sit with the skills
in their own hands.What is the point of getting your 18 points at high school and then sit idly at home?Better go to a tech. college and learn bricklaying ,carpentry etc and stand a chance of getting employment! Think of Malawi in say 20 years time,skilled labor will be available everywhere;which is good for our country to develop! Bravo DPP government!!

People should know the motive behind these community colleges. The aim is to make sure that the youth have been empowered with skill. The main issue is not a certificate but skill in order to be entrepreneurs. For a country to be developed it needs more entrepreneurs.

Billy Kachedwa (Tesam president) if you think technical colleges do not meet your ambitions go to the Polytechnic, end of story! The fact that conventional sec schools did not have adequate staff etc did not prevent the government from establishing CDSSs. Was this politics? Are people not going to university from CDSSs? Stupid! Kodi ndiwe mtumbuka kapena?

Chokani makape opanda chitukuko , alekeni anzanu aphunzire ntchito , ngati inu sikupundulirani anzanu zizawapindulira , President sangakumane ndi makape ansanje ngati inu. A bad Carpenter always blame his tools.
