The author is right.
This is retrogressive thinking. Are the graduates not subjected to the same training? Things need to change, evolve to be more precise. Anthu a std 8, form 2 ndi form four should be phasing out in the system, actually form 2 should not be a required qualification anymore.
There is no point in hating graduates, whether frustrated or not, just make the conditions good for highly educated people to choose policing as a profession. Academic qualification is just a foundation.
Anthu obwenzera kumbuyo dziko are those with such retrogressive thinking.
Police graduates are leftovers of these shabby univesiities like the Mzuni, khondowe, and the Advebtist @ Mlangeni in Ntcheu who eben when promoted to those senior ranks they wil stil be looking 4 a Form 4 graduate guidance! Police is Police and Chanco is Chanco. The 2 dont mix. We in Malawi Police need our own college and profuve our own graduates. In that sense we wil be selecting graduate IG who are wel trained in Police work. NOt these foest, graduates we hav in police. Ñö
This is a very good observation on the part of the author. I come to understand now that we have security lapse because we entrusted our security into wrong people, the people who joined MPS out of job frustrations. MPS IS NOT THEIR PASSIONATE JOB.
I second without ANY equivocation
I find it funny that the issue of somebody being a graduate in order to be confirmed as IG should be put on the floor by MPs. In the first place, the majority of the MPs are not graduates themselves and I find it hard to believe that they can attach the importance of education selectively. The Public Appointments Commitee of Parliament is Chaired by a former Fire Officer and from his group some are musicians, postal officers, business people etc. In fact one of them wrote his MSCE when he was Deputy Minister during the Bingu era. These are… Read more »
Six months training deserve a certificate of attendance. But now the National assembly should discuss the possibility of sending police officers to Mzuzu University if I am not making a mistake. It seems Mzuni offers degrees in security services.
The author surely has little or no university education, nor does he know about management of institutions. It’s obvious that a graduate is better equipped for a management job than an MSCE holder. And in this age and era, you can’t have someone without a college degree heading a whole department of government, let alone a crucial security arm like the Police Service with so many people under him! One, he may not command respect from his better educated juniors and two, he would lack the skills to adapt to a continually changing operating environment.
From what has happened with IG Kanyama, it is obvious that the MPS training program has shortfalls, in that it does not appear to give potentially very capable police officers, with exceptional leadership and management capabilities, the ability to achieve their Bachelors and Masters in criminal justice or police science from the Police Training School. This needs to be looked into as the nation is appearing to miss out on some high caliber officers who were not afforded the opportunity of perusing their Bachelor and Masters. Probably the Police training school should partner with Mzuzu University, to ensure that the… Read more »
when a person is leaning at any educational institution the end out come is a valid Certificate; being Diploma, Degree etc. but its so sad that our Highest Police Collage offers only cetificate of attendance as some one is attending a seminar, they need to see what to do like joining with MANEB to help them in this issue, its not good at all, its so shameful for one to be at a collage to come out with only a certificate of attendance.
