The US is the sponsor for the building of 200 secondary schools (bricks & mortar) with the whole purpose of miseducating a whole generation so that they’re delinquents in the society they will operate in; at best they will provide manual labour and be of service to those that are owners of factors of production. Honourable Minister, please take the funds and build IT infrastructure and extend free WiFI to all cities, towns and rural trading centres so that students can access education material that is relevant to the world of tomorrow. The Malawi education curriculums so outdated that graduates… Read more »

..And where are the jobs for the rest, that have completed and graduated from different institutions in Malawi? Let’s not make our beautiful country to turn into “Nigeria” where you have so many educated people and most of them have no jobs….and you know what an intelligent person can do…they start thinking clever way on how to survive, legally or illegally Then what happens to our nation when all these youths are just idle for too long! It will be a mess for every citizen, if this has not yet started. Lets think forward… With love from Venice Beach, Los… Read more »

Its the education system that’s antiquated with curriculum that is 50 years old and certainly behind the curve. Malawi education system is producing irrelevant graduates who can’t be employed. In any case, you can’t have an education system that produces slaves/workers; it needs to produce thinkers who would become entrepreneurs or employers. 1000 graduates cannot compete for shrinking pool of 10 jobs in the marketplace. Malawi needs to revise its curriculum and method of delivering lectures to produce employable graduates or entrepreneurs.

Let’s hope the contractors building these schools are more reliable than the one that built the primary school extension that collapsed recently before it could be put to use. Building 200 secondary schools is one thing, furnishing them with desks and teaching materials and providing text books and teachers is another huge expenditure. Let’s not get too carried away before we see the results of this announcement. The expenditure involved is enormous, and one has to wonder where the funds are coming from.

As for contractors, the one who is constructing the new Polytechnic Annex in Blantyre is among SR Nicolas, Roberts Construction and other reputable companies that can put up durable but high quality structures. However, the USA Government should ensure that district councils are not involved in the management of their funds. These local authorities are prone to abuse funds for personal benefit. Just have a look at the properties of the employees in these local authorities amassed since decentralisation was introduced. One would would feel giddy.
