While I was on the Easter break in April visiting my beloved family in
Kampala, Uganda, in on morning I was reading a news paper call New
Vision dated Monday, April 24, 2017, Vol.032No. 081.
I read that, H.E President Museveni attended a summit on natural
resources in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.
In that summit, he gave a talk on natural resources and why the Africa
Continent remains behind. President Museveni was very persuasive in
his language.
However, when I was reading his speech, yes, I agreed with some of
what he told the African leaders in the summit for example, “ Africa
has a structural disadvantage, We are not like China – In China, when
there is one good thinker, the whole China follows them”. Here, H.E
President Museveni, he is absolutely right and I agreed with him.
Because we Africans we intended to localize and not to sell it to the
whole continent. It’s a pity.
In the summit President Musseveni, it seems disagree with the
presenter on the issue of education as a right direction to the
African problems.
I said , I agreed with presenters that, education is a good solution
to our African solution, with due respect to the President Musseveni
opinion, I want to say I profoundly disagreed with President Musseveni
on the “ the talk that if you educate your people, everything will be
okay, was part of the mistakes in 1960. This fragmented thinking.
Vision is incorrect”.
>From my point of view giving education to African people, means give
power,& knowledge and two are robust instruments for our beloved
continent. And a good example is the President Musseveni himself. Why?
Because he has a strong education background, has made him to be an
instrumental, influential, strong and thinker, a political leader in
the continent and in the region and may be around the globe.
Simply, because he has earned a robust knowledge. Thus, saying that,
the education vision that was put in place by our pan-African leaders
was incorrect vision is not place.
I think, only what our Pan-African leaders missed was that they lack
poor planning in vocational education to produce skills that should
match with the development needs of the continent. In general or each
country demands.
For instance, the South Sudan is an oil producing country, so the
skills being passed on now should be relevant to the jobs that will
raise from the oil industry. And that is the work of educationist
planners in the Ministry of Higher Education, Sciences and Technology
with the collaboration of the Ministry of Public Service & Human
Development Resources.
For these reasons, I strongly articulate above mentioned and with my
due respect to president Museveni, I profoundly disagreed with him on
the issue of education, Because education is power, light and most
significantly is a key road to civilization and modernity. While the
illiteracy is a killer and enemy to dignity as well as to self-esteem.
Thus, I will not miss this opportunity to thank our beloved
missionaries who came from the western world in the last passed
century and they gave us the knowledge to open our eyes through
education. Furthermore, education can minimize poverty which the first
killer in the world in general and Africa continuant in particular.
God bless Africa.
