Ok
@naphi; its not where you learn but what you learn. university education is no more for “that” college, but for everyone. even the universities we considered as elite have now been relegated to sideways. impact matters now than anything else.
Where are the jobs? as much as we know some of the private universities produce quality graduates that the current UNIMA, but where are the jobs? which economy to start business in? cost of capital way too high for business; the banks do not trust novice entrepreneurs, they need collateral. Malawi sucks big time
What type of skills does malawi need to develop? Its important for academic to realign with the country’s skills development plan
Useless diplomas and degrees !!!
Some graduates are much better than that crap Quota system sends to UNIMA; UNIMA feeds business world with madeya;
Amalemba nkhaniyi ndi ndani? Is it ‘the graduation was heard’? Or ‘the graduation was held’?
