How many spaces are in the Universities in Malawi? 10 spaces on average per district the remaining spaces on merit! Is this really discriminatory or inclusive? What’s the qualification for University selection in Malawi? Can a district fail to produce qualified candidates? I hear when a district do not have qualified individuals the spaces are offered on merit! Something is not adding up. Enafe ndife mbuli. Educate us properly please.
The issue of quota system is not unique and particular to Malawi. Even here in Uganda, bigger institutions like the Makerere University applies the quota system when admitting students into the University. U can not level the playing field when assessing the academic performance index of students from different schools and regions. There are a lot of factors responsible for differences in performance which need to be controlled for. But because of savage politics of Malawi stupid politicians think they can lure electorates behind such policies
This is why Africa will remain poor. Why should we have quota when Malawi is one? Why should someone become worried if many students from Zomba are admitted to public universities in a particular year? Don’t think that quota can be justified because Uganda is using it. Have you visited developed countries in the west or east? Our friends do not discriminate each other based on one’s district of origin. Unless we become one people quota will yield nothing.
We don’t want to know where you are,even some of us we are so abroad but we don’t want to disclose the where about of us.All we are contributing here is the way how things are being run in our Country.Someone who is at Malawi University with merit can not support this evil quota system but people like you who are at university because of money not on merit will support this.If i may ask you,do we have different syllabuses in these three regions or do they teach different subjects?
Malawians claim to be one, but what we practice does not support that claim. I believe this is the reason the North is advocating for federalism. If we have a bright student whether from Chitipa or Nsanje, is he not Malawian? Will he not contribute to the development of Malawi? Do we not have doctors, engineers, accountants, lawyers etc from different districts in Malawi serving people not from their home districts? Make a study of all district hospitals and see if they are served by people from that district. That bright student denied the opportunity to go to the university… Read more »
To be honest, any interested organisation which wants to abolish the quota system can carry out a desk study to come up with the required figures for any given academic year. All the necessary information is already in the public domain – the aggregate points entitling a candidate for selection to a public university, the performance of students by school (and hence district), and the selection lists to the public universities . It should therefore be possible to have figures showing how many deserving students for each district were left out. A dedicated officer should be able, within one week,… Read more »
Such data will only tell you why students from the North have low cut off points compared to other regions. The research should look into why these other regions fail to perform as good as the North and address those problems. For how long are these regions going to rely on quota? Will there be not a time when we will have to revert to merit selection of sudents into public universities? What will happen to the regions relying quota if the problems are not addressed?
God has blessed a man and his wife with twins. Twin A according to the school report, his performance in school is very good, whereas the performance of twin B is below average. What should the parents of these two twins do to ensure their children excel in life?
So why don’t you give us the cut off points per district? This is not in the public domain. If the cut off points for Rumphi were 10 and those for Chikwawa were 25, we need to know. This information should assist to show how many students with how many points from each district were left out. We need data that shows everything. It is wrong to assume that any research done will be skewed in favour of the South and Center. In fact, my suggestion was that NORTHERN based organisations which will be hosting the conference should be the… Read more »
Call it Quota or equitable system, the bottom line is the concept is evil, satanic, regionalistic, and retrogressive. How can a government embrace a system that allow less capable or dull students to pursue higher education and leave intellegent and deserving ones on the basis of the district where one comes from? I find this policy upside down.
Atumbuka mumauzilana mayeso sikuti ndinu anzeru .Ifeso tiyamba zimenenzi .you are not intelligent at all .we are working with ignorant Tumbukas here .they are many here in the centre .what you should know is this that we will share the Universities ,you will take Mzuni as your university and Mombera which will be built soon.The rest will be ours so that you should be going Mzuni without problem because money for running these are tax payers money not Tumbukas money of which every one contributes
if you have evidence kuti atumbuka amauzilana osakanena ku police bwanji? nde mayesowo amauzilana maka ku university mpaka ku school? anthu ngati inu ndi amene mumayambitsa sankho mudziko. Tumbuka or no Tumbuka we are all malawian and decisions must not be made depending on tribe no
It is not a secret that Tumbukas cheat. I have a friend who went to study in the North. Very dull but he got selected to study at Balaka Secondary School. He told me the truth kuti mayeso analemba usiku. The same applies to Secondary School. Osamapusitsana apa. Palibe mtundu wamzelu kuposa wina.
Ndale za makanda ndi zimenezi. You think by advocating for abolishment of quota system would make you win elections hooodo mwauponda that is cheap politics. Check that south and central are quiet on this issue yet its where large voters are and you by going with what few voters in the north i.e. 1.7 million would put u in office; awa ndiye maloto a chumba ndithu. Tiye nazoni za makandanu. kkkkkkkkkkkkk
