Nkhani ili apayi ndiya bodza. Chanco was not closed in March 1992 and opened after six month. Apatu anama. Chanco did not open in September 1992 because of water crisis due to poor rains in 1991/1992 growing season. Polytechnic had some demos and MYP shot some buildings but students were back in class in a jiffy. Nkhani iyinso yanyasa kwambiri pamene olemba nkhaniyi akutiuza kuti mwana wake ali final year pa Poly. So what? Pali chani pamenepa? If the author claims to be renowned newspaper editor -ashiiii Malawi ali pa mavuto. Tiyeni nkhani ya Chanco, I can agree with the… Read more »

Gracian Tukula ndi wa fake! he has suggested no solution whatsoever and why isn’t anyone blaming chancol lecturers when they are the only ones on strike out of the 3 unima colleges? why are chancol lecturers the only group that has gone on strike? the problem in this country is that timatsekerera u chitsiru koma expect others kuthetsa uchitsiru tikusekelera ifewo!!! call a spade a spade! chancol lecturers have an axe to grind with mutharika but hey look who is suffering? innocent young people!

Chancellor college students are to blame (including their lecturers) for their inflated egos. The other problem is that these institutions (particularly Chanco and Polytechnic) are politicised – it is the reason we do not often hear about chaos and closure of College of Medicine, Kamuzu College of Nursing etc. Why is Chanco always facing closure? Can Tukula do a thorough critical analysis and merit the reasons for closure since the 1990s. Some of the reasons for the closure of Chancellor College, for example, have been internally induced. Some of us (as alumni of UNIMA) who by the way, studied at… Read more »

This DPP government is fake, it leaves us with more questions than answers on this issue, imagine the minister of education and the chancellor himself refusing to sort out this circus, they say University council should end the dispute. What sort of leadership do we have in Malawi and you expect the country to develop? Abwampini amenewa, how will things be if they are re-elected in 2019?

This is a wonderful piece Gracian. No wonder you work for the Nation because the logic you use in this write up is unparalled. Further, the matter at hand raises an implicit DPP aim. Keep more Malawians illiterate so that they can be hood winked. By so doing, you have less debate and opposition to the folly taking place within government. The President should take this matter seriously because I don’t know of any country that has developed without a good education system. The situation is made worse when the current Minister of Education taught at the University and so… Read more »

Just quoting “at least Bingu wa Mutharika did something and the lecturers strike ended” and
“The situation is different now because it seems no one cares, except the students and their parents or guardians, of course.”

The consequences of solving conflicts in not the most suitable way. Threatening. And from a public service perspective we are yet to reap more sour grapes. Just go to a public hospital and you will understand the consequences of a demotivated labour force. Our leadership has created this.
