Rev Nyondo faults DPP on quota system
The CCAP Synod of Livingstonia has faulted the DDP led government for failing to adhere to its promise to abolish the controversial education quota system, saying it is denying ‘deserving’ students a place in the country’s public universities.
This development follows the announcement by Ministry of Education on Friday last week that it will maintain the system in the 2014/2015 academic year upon releasing names of 1,909 successful students selected to start various programmes at the University of Malawi (UNIMA) and the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANA).
Speaking in an interview with Nyasa Times Tuesday, General Secretary for the Synod, Reverend Dr Levi Nyondo, said the Synod is eagerly waiting for the day when the system will be completely abolished, because the issue was in the party’s manifesto.
“The current government clearly in the Name of the Father, Son and The Holy Spirit stipulated in its manifesto before the May 20 Tripartite elections that it will abolish the system once elected into power. So the CCAP Synod of Livingstonia is still eagerly waiting for the day to come,” Nyondo said.
In his remarks, Deputy Minister of Education Science and Technology Vincent Ghambi, said the only way to deal with the quota system is by building more universities in the country.
He assured the Synod that government will take the matter into consideration, adding that it will build more universities to provide a conducive environment for each and every student who qualifies to go to university to have access to tertiary education.
“The quota system has been a long standing issue. As government we are doing everything possible to put it to a halt, but the only best way to do it is by constructing more universities of which the DPP government has started doing that already.
“There is quota system because the country does not have enough universities. If we introduce more universities it means the intake of students into the universities will increase, and quota system surely will be the issue of the past,” said Ghambi.
Quota system, which selects students into the country’s public universities based on merit, was first used during the one party era, but was abolished during Bakili Muluzi’s regime before being reinstated by the late former president, Bingu Wa Mutharika.
THE BEST WAY IS TO ABOLISH QUOTA SISTEM IF NOT LET NORTH STAND ALOND, THATS THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH QUOTA SISTEM
Simwati aku north akagwere uko ndipo amvetsa? Wait so that you may feel the smell of guns, amwrne let us feel another Boko Haram
I think all Northeners can go to any nearest hell, we have 4 regions in Malawi why is it that only the north makes stupid noise on Quota System? To hell with northeners!
I do not understand why only people from the north cry over Qs. there should be something more than meets the eye. Eeesh
chamba et?kota shud go to hell
Kodi busayo waleka kusogolera nkhosa? m’Blantyre mulibe anthu a pa central ndi north? Kota ya chan? Mumafuna ma university muzikhala a tumbuka okha…mulira nkuyamba
Mulira simunati
There was Joyce Banda there..she continued the system.now comes APM and DPP..koma nkhani ikhale kota kota kota kota..kukhoza 15 ndye kuti akutenga ku UNIMA??..i come 4m Dowa ndinakhoza 14 in 2009..anandisiya..ndye kuti anandisiya coz of kota??..koma anakakhala wina wa ku mpoto..kota kota kota kota…rubbish
If this quota system was declared illegal By courts, then why are we not suing the govt for abuse of human rights? You people who have been affected should actually now start suing the govt and they will pay you millions again for depriving you the right to education. This will be another wasting of our money by the govt on a system which they know is illegal. pay avoidable quota.
You north lawyers should now start the suing on behalf of one or two quota victims, then all victims will be compensated. These lomwes think they are clever, they will lose in Court and billions will be paid to quota victims, not only for the north but also victims from other regions!!! Again tax payers money will be wasted on paying unnecessary compensations which could have been avoided!!
The whole world will then know how discriminatory Malawi is, even in academic education?
The son of my neibour has been selected to CHANCO with 24 points. He is from Phalombe but his father is refusing to pay for him, says the boy has his uncles (amalume, eni mbumba) who should pay for him. Koma amalume ake ali pa umphawi woopsa. Ndalama yomwe anapedza atalima fodya ku Mpoto inatha pogula chimanga. Mnyamatayu akumvetsa chisoni. Bambo ake akuti ali ndi zidzukulu zawo(ana a achemwali awo)zoti adzilipilire fees. Maganizo ake ndioti mwina asungitse malo adzapite chaka cha mawa akapedza ndalama akakalima fodya ku Mzimba ndi amalume ake. Bambo ake ndi a business ya kaunjika,mpunga ndi nsomba.
You will cry till 2024! DPP woyeeee! quota yomweyo kuti wawawa! No more domination in education by the same region. Equitable education is paramount. Balilani inu mtundu odzikonda. Nthawi yanu yinatha. Ndale ndi bodza. Timafuna M’boma.
How many more universities does govt want to build to discontinue the quota system? 5 o10 or 20? This is not what we’re looking for. Whether there is only one university, selection of students to it must be based on merit, not where one is coming from. That’s what we’re saying. Even if we had only one place at only one university, only the best student should go there. It is the same with presidency – we select who becomes a president on basis of the no. of votes only; the one with the most votes occupy the only one vacancy at state house. May be its time to have rotational presidency so that an element of where one comes from is also taken into consideration so that the presidency is not only dominated by southerners because of their large numbers. Let’s have quota on presidency as well through rotational presidency.
I Agree. Actually some people had already suggested that!!! Federalism or rotational of president. There will be no stealing of votes with rotation system. You will see lomwes rejecting everything!!! Just because it undermines their numbers and selfishness.
Quota system started with MCP . Joyce Banda had an opportunity to reverse it, but avoided to do so. Why ???????
Quota system started with MCP . Joyce Banda had an opportunity to reverse it, but avoided to do so. Why ???????
You don’t need to follow the crowd. Do something different and abolish it. It was also in your DPP manifesto.
This quota system came about because of your selfishness, aphunzitsi amawauzira mayeso ana a chitumbuka ku school so that you should seem bright – pano zakuvutani – ndi nthawi yanu yolira!!!!!!!!!!!
Why didn’t the teachers in south and central do the same? You are revealing all your ignorance!!!
no. 53. You are an idiot. Those names are fake. Come up with a better lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kodi inu s ynod nkhani basi qouta system,malo moti muwathandize anthu adziwe yesu ndikuti tizapite kumwamba,thats rabish
Q-system does not select students on merit point of correction rather, its the other way. idiot!
Synod mukupasika makopala navipani vinandi,magalimoto banthu bakusuzgika namwe munasuzgo.Hodi uko Fedulo yinjileko.
is t fairthat an eagerly student from Muhuju community day secondary school who have toiled tooth to nail scooping admirable MSCE results be left aside only that he is from the north where pipo are very intelligent and taking some body with 36 points frm Thyolo ? Aaaa me cryin nw ma future is doomed completely
The quota system is evil. It is actually in itself introducing segregation and regionalism. Entrance to public institutions must be purely based on merit only. No individual must suffer because he/she comes from a certain district simply because someone else from another district has not done well in his/her examinations. We are all supposed to be Malawians deserving equal opportunities according to our abilities. We are talking about Malawian children’s future here. It is not a sin to come from an area where children do better in large numbers.
With this kind of Government behavior, the only way to go is Federalism, worst case scenario secession, since even the so much talked about Mombera University in the North will be run under the same system, filled with failures at the expense of deserving students.
I suspect that even with federalism, higher education could still be controlled by central govts because those universities are public not belonging to regions.
DPP should just abolish the quota system as per their manifesto. Mabodza mpaka pamenepo?
I urge all people from the North lets us not just watch this happening just under our nose.Let us start the fight.I appeal to all northerneers who are against succession to forget their individual gains they are getting from this tiny, impeverished so called country Malawi and focus on the plight of the general population of the North.How do you feel when you are marginalised like this? Up to the extent whereby even the secondary schools in the North are filled by students from central & southern regions and you can just stay quiet and watch.No! No! Enough is enough and even if it will take to spill blood for the plight of the North let it be.Succession now.Let all the North be garvanized for this cause now.
A Nyondo??? Musatisokosere pano munakana kukhala pambuyo pa mmbusa nzanu Chakwera munasankha kukhala pambuyo pa Joyce Mumayesa Joyce awina??? A chakwera amafuna abweretse school yotengedwa on merit. Zanu izo you reap what you saw.
Two or one from a list if brat students from Kamuzu academy
A tumbuka
There is only one or two names from the north on the list of best students from academy ki ki ki
Atumbuka this means u are dull and speaks too much
What about other yeArs? Then that is good reason to abolish the quota system!! Tumbukas are just the same as any other Malawian.
Namwe a Ghambi how long will it take to build these universities so that these boys and girls get admission there . Shallow thinking thats why you ministers are avoiding question and answer time in parliament. That is a long term solution baba. Antheura mungativwira imwe. Typical of kasambara
List of students deprived the right to high education bcz they are from the North /James Chavula 8points/John Chabinga 9 poins/ Alinuswe kilembe 11points/ Uchindami kayira 12 points/ George Banda 13 points/christopher Nyondo 13 points/ Chifundo Kayira 14 points …………………. These are just few of them bt manzy are there in our village bt the question is why?????????i appeal to all northerners to be united and fight for our future sons and daughters from the North!!!!!! This very bad!!!
Nancy Kondowe 15pts
Sawila? Palamuli a sawilanadi.
If what you have listed here is true, then Malawi has a big problem. 8 to 14 points should be in University.
Put your contact in reply, and I will sponsor one let him/her pay (I will pay) kunipusika cha!
I was reading the comments on this page i realy like your comment. Am a secondary teacher at Masuku community in Mangochi,am deeply concerned with what the government has done.

They call them serves intelligent yet they dnt that education is a battle of brains nt by chance, ths increases the number of being weeded at the university. stupid government
MUWAUZE ANAWO NGATI AKUFUNA KUPHUNZIRA BWINO ASAPITECO KUMENEKO AKAKUMANANAWO ATONGA ASAZALILIRE KU UTSI PLEASEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MR. DEPUTY MINISTER VINCENT GHAMBI YOU WERE NOT READ ON THIS OR SOMEBODY JUST STEERED YOU, DO NOT MAKE DREAMS WHEN TELLING THE PUBLIC REGADING SUCH TYPE OF HOT ISSUES, SORRY OF YOU.
even if the government builds more universities those universities will still be full of southerners and those from the centre. The construction of more universities is just escape goat. QOTA SYSTEM SHOULD BE ABOLISHED WHILE WAITING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW UNIVERSITIES WHAT HAS HAPPENED AT NKHATA_BAY SEC SCH WILL BE HAPPENING TO OTHER SEC SCHOOLS INCLUDING COLLEGES.
What a shame of a man Vincent Ghambi is! Licking the sandals of this Muthalika is all what he does, thinking that being a deputy minister is all about life. Mr Ghambi you are a sellout and you deserve to be beheaded!!! Mxiiiii!!
Deputies. Deputies what shame!!! We want full Ministers not deputies!!! Then you DPP fools claiming the north had 4 ministers, which 4 ministers? You count these stupid deputies!!! Two deputies equal one full Minister. Ha ha ha!! Keep on fooling us!!!’
What an oppression to the northerners! No wonder they need to have a state of their own. A big shame to those in authority in Malawi.
The last paragraph of this article reads.”Quota system,which selects students into the country’s public university based on merit was first used during the one party era, but was abolished during Bakili Muluzi’s regime before being reinstated by the late former president, Bingu wa Mutharika”. This statement says the selection is based on merit, which literary the best or the cream are selected into public universities regardless of where they come from.
The author of this article, Yohane Chideya (YD), has confused me. I don’t think YD has defined quota system properly.
I stand to be corrected.
Secesion bcos there z no equal distribution of funds 4 development in the North? Quarter System 4 equal alocation? They said they wil abolish Quarter System? Did u Vote 4 DPP? Y Always U Pipo?Mesa ndinu anzeru eyetu Vuwa ndi advisor so wat?
The gvt is not doing well.the quota shld end.i am one of the victims of quota.i have been left for three times with 15 points,and now my certificate has expired.am from mzimba.It should end immediately.continue to fight will support you.
Stupit ghambi!
stupid ! what a shame God is watching you time will come the so quarter sytem will die a natu
ral death
THE FACT IS THAT THE COURT RULED WAY BACK IN EARLY 90’S THAT QUOTA SYSTEM BE STOPPED AS IT WAS DISCRIMINATORY BECAUSE ALL STUDENTS IN MALAWI WHETHER FROM THYOLO OR LILONGWE OR INDEED MISUKU HILLS IN CHITIPA LEARN THE SAME SYLLABUS FROM STANDARD ONE UP TO FORM 4 AND WRITE THE SAME EXAMS.HOWEVER DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS AND BELIEFS THE STUDENTS IN THE NORTH MALAWI AND EVEN THOSE FROM NTCHEU IN THE CENTRAL REGION HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AHEAD OF THOSE FROM PLACES LIKE NTCHISI, DOWA, NSANJE, THYOLO, MANGOCHI AMONGST OTHERS.AS A RESULT OF THIS,THESE STUPID MINDED MUTHALIKAS HAVE BEEN JEALOUSY TO SEE NORTHERNERS EXCELLING AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR FELLOW TRIBESMEN HENCE THE RE INTRODUCTION OF THIS STUPID AND NEPOSTIC QUOTA SYSTEM BY THE ECCENTRIC PRESIDENT LATE BINGU MUTHALIKA.THE CHARISMATIC FORMER PRESIDENT, BAKILI MULUZI NEVER APPLIED QUOTA SYSTEM THROUGH OUT HIS TEN YEAR RULE.
THE BUILDING OF MORE UNIVERSITIES AND ABOLITION OF QUOTA SYSTEM ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.THE SOLUTION IS TO ADDRESS THE CULTURAL ISSUES SURROUNDING THE LOW PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN NTCHISI DUE TO NYAU, MANGOCHI DUE TO ZINAMWALI,THYOLO DUE TO WEAK MARRIAGES AND IRRESPONSIBLE FATHERS.
PETER MUTHALIKA SHOULD STOP PENALIZING HARDWORKING STUDENTS FROM CHINTHECHE, USISHA IN NKHATABAY OR KHONDOWE IN RUMPHI OR MISUKU IN CHITIPA AMONGST OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to remind all people not only those from the north but the rest of the people against quota that
1. We are all intelligent
2. We all deserve a place at a public university
3. If you are talking of equity and equality then why are you fighting against quota
4. What sort of empirical evidence do you have to prove that people from the north are the only intelligent people in Malawi
5. Check this out – when at I was at the primary school right in the north no northerner scored above me actually I was the best student, even when I went to college to do diploma no northerner had beaten me not even one, when I went to University to do Bsc No northerner had beaten, when I went back to do Msc it was the same trend actually northerners were scoring far below, now am doing Phd am in my last year the trend is the same.
6. For us who passed through the corridors of the colleges we know what was happening for you especially the tribe making noise to be excelling everywhere I mean every place,every sector you name it.
7. By the way even when it comes to work you can not beat people from other areas
8. I have been to many organisations , sectors headed by people from the north you just employ one another even regardless of qualification I have seen it so what are you talking about
9. The more you talk about it the more you make other people to be angry. The fact that the dog is not burking it does not mean that it can not bite you.
10. You say you’re most intelligent that is a total lie
11. Most of you argue that somebody with 10 points has been left out, do you mean with merit system those with 10, 11 below 20 were not being left out? Myself I scored 13 points but I was left out during merit system and somebody from the north with 19 points was selected so tell me was that true merit? Tell me
12. Therefore, you people you better be very careful when making noise
The only solution is federal system.
Why is that when something that does not favour the central and the south, you keep quite? If it means that you want to break away, please do it. Actually we do not have any worries with your secession plans.
Its because you yourselves do not see the need. Like the way you cannot comprehend how federal govt would benefit your own village
Nyondo is a mafia,not fit to be a reverand. this is a good reason he does know how to preach.
How many souls have brought to Jesus? preach the word and forget about politics that is what you were called for
Bad system and injustice on students who deserve to be at a University
Quota system selects students on merit? I wonder what merit is if its in not for those who have scored the required points to qualify for a place in the university. Are we happy to compromise our educational quality just to satisfy failure to make the grade? This will breed a seed of discontent and as a result affect the country negatively.
Ghambi shut up, you are just a form two chap who has no gray matter in your head. During Bingu you voted for the system instead of absconding like your colleagues did. Where does boma which has no money of its own build universities. If i were u i would lobby foreign governments to take most of these students instead of waiting for construction of these so called university.Stop barking an educated silly wrongly put so called deputy minister. Ulibe nzelu Gaul wachabe chabe!
Neither quota nor tribalism is good. While we hear the cries from the north, may you also hear the cry of others. Makampani ndi ma NGO mwanyanya anzathunu kuphangira mipando. Mumanena kuti you are competent to the positions yet we know how you execute your plans. And further, some of you tend to oppress others because of positions. Quota system came as a mitigation to the evil behaviour demonstrated by some of you as currently what the Lhomwes are doing. Please tonse ndife a Malawi.
Ndipo mwanena bwino kuti tilikumakampani ndi ma NGO. Kodi nanga ku boma tiliko?
Zilekeni mbuli zawozo zizipita ku ma Univesity chodziwika ndichakuti akumakaziwidanso kwambiri. Our time will come when students will be selected to Public Universities on merit.
Please, can we look at Mzuzu University and its staffing make-up? Srat from the the Administration and then all the way to the lecturers. After that go to Livingstonia supposedly religious university. Then we all come back and re-read the story above on quota system.
Continue with the quota system Mr President!!! Ovota ndife amene tikufuna kuti ipitilire.Why should this be a concern for the northerners only????? Kudzikonda eti???? Amene tinavotela bomali tikuti YES for the QUOTA system!!!!!!!
Reverend Nyondo the right time to talk was when PP was in power. Otherwise just start preaching about the kingdom of God and not kingdom of men.
Tiyime patekha bina mpoto
What I know is that Quota System will not be abolished. In fact, when it gets discussed in the National Assembly it may well become more robust!!
But there is some SWEET news coming Rev Nyondo’s way. Highly placed sources have revealed that APM is seriously considering granting a referendum for INDEPENDENCE to the North.
Supposedly, he doesn’t want any bloodshed over this. So I guess the most sensible coarse for Livingstonia Synod to take would be to join hands with the Secessionists.
In a short while you could break Free. You could become as free as you were intended to be!!
This APM guy and his Chaponda are akin to the Hutu leaders in Rwanda. They want to exterminate the northerners. Mzomera Ngwira, Bina Shawa, Rev Nyondo, Karonga boys, Fond, please keep up the fire before these guys finish us silently. We are behind you.
Ghambi? Muzelezekemge!
Building more universities is not a solution to Quota System. Even if we have enough places for university,if qouta System as it stands now is not officially ended there still will be problems. This is because some universities will be better than others and everyone will be wanting to go to the good universities, and if Qouta is not abolished it will be used, (back to square one).
My personal view is, there is nothing wrong with a Quota System, the problem is, we in Malawi are not using a Quota System, we have a “Discrimination System”, which we have disguised by calling it qouta system.
A proper qouta system should have been looking at the form 4 population either in each region or even district (not just population, but population of those that will be wanting to go to university) then workout the quotas based on that population.
Once the figures are known, then use merit within the region or district. chances are there will be no students left out who have scored 6 points or even 20, in that region or district. Incidentally the university entry test is a waste of time and resources.
You might be shocked to find that the population of those in full-time education in the North is bigger than the South, therefore the North would be given more spaces in University under a properly managed quota system.
The system we have now, as most people argue, looks at the population of the region, and we say the south has more people therefore more from the south should go to university, than the North because the population of the North is small.
What we forget is, we are talking about education, therefore the population in question should be of those in education.
The figures are always there, or at least they should be, if civil servants were not spending all their time thinking about how to loot.
Politicians are about, popularity, the North will not give them votes, so there is no political will to do away with this “Discriminatory system”
I am surprised that the President, seems to wonder why Northerners want their own state, yet day in day out people are shouting Qouta System!!, mind you it is not only Northerners, but all people that value education are shouting Get rid of qouta system!!
The current system must go, if not let the North Go!!
Very stupid response from a minister. Would the construction of more Universities not create other problems of money ,lecturers and management? Use what you have. Remove the quota system.
Apakatife Wakumpoto Basi dpp yatibera vote yathu !!! Achawa ndi Alomwe Muzipita kwanu !! Mwatilanda malo ndi maufumu pakati pano !! Kwanu ndinu ndani Inu ???
it ironical that the north is advocating for independence while on the other hand fighting for the abolishment of quota system. which is which abale. kwina mukuti there is no equal distribution of resources the same pple want merit in selecting students. this is hypocrisy at the highest level. greed and selfishness is at work
Thank you Paramount Mkhumba.
Quota system is here to stay. No question for its existence. Equity education for all,mpoto mwera, pakati. Period.
The question to ask Mr. Ghambi is; after 50 years of Independence, why does the North have to wait for a corrupt and bankrupt government to build more Universities? Donors should use the withheld funds to open their doors to students and former students from the North, who are robbed of educational opportunities due to the so called Quota system in Malawi. Northerners did not subject anyone to slavery nor Thangata system. It was the Yaos/Arabs and colonial rulers, who we treat better than we do Northerners. Why do you treat northerners like non-Malawians? Northerners have been penalized too long for desire to be one nation, united under one government. Yet the government has consistently told them you are on your own (take care of yourselves) when it comes to education, employment opportunities, etc. It is the government that has quietly and for the longest time subjected northerners to a federal government.
Let’s get down to the real issue, if you have 4 children and one is an A+ genius, who goes to a college requiring substantial financial support, does a wise parent stop paying for the child so that the other 3 can also enjoy substantial financial support?
Would you send your child where kids were being taught gule wankulu only or hire a pilot or Mutharika’s security detail or his cooks or his drivers based on a Quota system? Imagine a child not yet born in North of Malawi already has the likes of Peter and his predecessors (some very educated), telling them strive to be the best but I won’t let you go to Secondary School or University, is that not an immense human rights violation? The so called Malawi Leaders, have access to the best privileges in the world, their doctors are abroad, they buy foreign, they vacation in foreign lands, etc. Why not rely on hospitals in Malawi or buy Malawi made clothes or relax at resorts in Malawi? South Africa sometimes is too far for treatment, eh!
Mlomwe ndi Mlomwe he promised that just to win votes NOT for REAL NO NO NO especially the Mutharikas??? You cant trust.
Look how they have deflated JOHN KAPITO Nkasokosera yeee nthawi ya JB pano things are even worse than PP but the guy was given handsumely and he has gone into hiding as if Malawi things/prices have changed for the better.
Expect many many weedings again, what a worst of tax payers money and resources again
It is shame that Affirmative action is taken on a tribe as if the other tribes are all weak or women. The main why people from other regions did not get educated is bcoz of Matrilineal system. Munthu kwao kwenekwene alibe. Mr Bengo goes to Miss Spokes where Mr Bengo has no responsibility over the children but the uncle who happens to be a foreigner who has children somewhere. What a mess of social organisation! This shortfall is valid but was not caused by northerners.
This is the most evil Government Malawi has ever had. This is total prison in your own house. Pliz God help.
Inteligent students deserves qualification”Bible says”.
Kodi ku synod mumasowa chochita?kumangolowelela za m’dziko,mumatichititsa manyazi ife a mpingo wanu,asiileni ena sikuti mulipo nokha.

I salute Muluzi.Dpp was trying to buy vote from the north.SHAME!
You are the tiresome people why? Nyondo you supported Joyce and you failed,pliz keep quit. Its so early to judge DPP and they never fail but you are the one failing us. Ufiti etiii? Look at it
I do not understand people from the north. They want equal destribution of resources and yet they dont want equal number of people who go to public universities with equal number of students per district. Tumbukas ndi anthu okanika, government osawamvera tsopano akutinyasa. Akagwere uko
za manifesto ndizongofuna kupezera mavoti bt the best way is ndikumanga ena ma university or kuonjezera ma classroom and hostels in the exsiting universities in order to increase current intake
Eeee koma this cult called Livingstonia Synod mhhhhh. The rest of us from Jenda to Nsanje, from Dwangwa to Mchinji are happy with this. First of all can you please check the names of those you selected to your Livingstonia University and compare with those selected to Marist Secondary School. The biggest church, Catholic Church, applies equitable process but you you use elitist or selective process. You are evil.
This is indeed a sad news to hear that the dpp cant adhere to the long and awaited call to abolish this stupid quota system.we will match and this country is 4 us all.building more university is never done in a day,north shd stand on its own.we are tired.
“Doing rverything you can to abolish the quota system” is different from what you promised people in your manifestos, that you will abolish the quota system. So you lied? Idiots!! If you can so innocently lie about something that is in your manifesto, what about your president’s public rally utterances than he will build more universities? Stupid!! And you wonder why North wants out! Idiots!!
mesa mukulilra equitable distribution of resourceszzz…nanga education is it not aresource..infact malamuro a ma public universities says averybody having 6 credits is eligible for entrace….
Quota system is evil because it divides the nation based on where people come from. How can you say we are one when others are denied of higher education rights despite having deserving grades and yet some easily make it with low grades? Thank God I took my kids out of that country ruled by greedy people. Federal system of govt is a way to go.
The real issue of argument on quota system is that every year the system is used means that four years will pass by for the other to cop up with what has happened. This therefore translates that every year the system has been in use you have to multiply that by 4 for the other region to catch up. The quota system has been in use now for 10 years this translates that 40 years is what is going to take the north to cover up for those that have gone to the universities of Malawi government.
The only consolation for the region is that the more they are ignored a place at government secondary and university the more these northerners strive to send there children elsewhere to achieve what they want. Note during the Kamuzu Banda era, they university of Malawi imprisoned or dismissed a lot of Northerners but this did not solve the problem. Teachers were sent to the north but this even created more problems for there were shortages in the schools they were sent away from. The North benefited even more for the se teachers were now in almost all the schools. Some Secondary scool teachers were allocated places in the Correspondence centre which were previously being managed by primary school teachers. This now shows you how correspondence centers started being changed to Day schools. The reversal assisted the country.
Worrying about federalism is not an issue but what is going to happen to other areas. If you have well enlightened human resource you are the richest being. No argument about that.
Stop the quota now so that no area stays behind on educational matters. Do not talk of building more universities while the north is lagging on educational system now. stop now do not talk of 5 years from now because that means 20 years of ignoring equal share. our educational system gives us a four year circle.
I can assure you if the north secede, we will have the best of everything. Take for example education. If all north teachers and university lecturers return, the north will have graduates teaching in primary schools, secondary schools and universities. Just like Europe where graduates teach in primary schools. The same situation will arise in health, judiciary, ministries, etc. We have too Much educated human resources!!!
Sorry for you guys in the south, you will Have your Jce and Mce teachers teaching in your primary and secondary schools. You will have very low poor second class education. And your universities will have acute embarrassing shortage of lecturers. You will have to employ expatriates from the north and elsewhere!!! Just think about that!!! Things are moving very fast!!!
Notherners stop cheating first. When your northern fellow was head at MANEB, MSCE exams were leaking, Northern teachers were adding marks to students from North. These are facts. A non northener is heading MANEB, this crap has stopped and proportion of northen students into college has gone down. Now instead of telling them work hard- no cheating- you cry wolf, quota. Kagwereni, Momberanso sitimanga ku ku north, ikupita Mangochi inu pangani secede.
Boma la Dpp ndi losamva,ndi Boma lomwe limapanga zofuna zawo osat zofuna za wanthu,ndpo ndilokondera anthu aku mmwera okhaokha
Every dpp supporter including ministers have been brainwashed to tell us that building more universities will resolve and abolish the quota system without addressing the really issue of unfairness and injustices the system is causing. And they Always choose their their puppet, yes bwana Northern region ministers, in fact juniors or deputies to deliver their brain washed messages.
It is not about building more universities. Access to Academic Education is based on merit, not tribalism or regionalism. It is all about justice and merit, they should become first and not lose to morality. Morality can be addressed as well without destroying justice and merit!!!
