I was appalled when I saw an article
(see below) when the President asked the University Lecturers to serve their
Country!
I wonder if the readers see the Irony of
that request. It is the Universities in general (there are always exceptions to
the rule) which produce unemployable graduates from the promising Raw Material
that enter them.
I know this from the fact of
interviewing University Graduates in their hundreds and finding them woefully
short of what I would call brains. I directly challenge the University
Lecturers, who I blame for turning promising and creative students into those
who just get grades by sucking up their lecturers and agreeing with what they
do.
The State University System is a mess.
The IUSF have suppressed creativity and ambition amongst the Students and the
Academic Promotion system, has prevented truly gifted lecturers from being
promoted to Professorships in their 20s, who leave and get their early
Professorships at prestigious international Universities. Broadly (exceptions
are there) you are left with dimwits teaching students, who moonlight at
Private Universities to earn their bread and butter, and DO NOT give the due
care and attention their students at the State Unis, need as they don’t feel it
is worth the salary the State pays them.
I challenge any State University Don on
this allegation. The President does not need to ask them for help. The truly
dynamic visionaries would already have sent the President the proposals in
their respective fields of interest of how to improve that particular area. So
if babies need to be asked, then their two cents is really not worth the paper
they are written on!
Free EDUCATION is NOT providing the
graduates the Country needs, and reasons must first be evaluated, and
CORRECTED. This before we go any further with asking Dons to help with the
development of the Country. The University system is SO IN NEED OF CHANGE FOR
THE BETTER it is NOT FUNNY! We are so far behind the rest of the world in our
quality unless we do something drastic to improve this quality, there is no
hope in the big wide world for the products of these Universities, and if they
want a good education will have to look at the Private Sector that is rapidly
growing to fill the void created by a completely wasteful and useless State
University Education system. Lets us prioritize and get the basics right.
