It is with interest to notice the statement as pronounced
by our relavant scholars body SASCO, but may be the
emphasise has to be unto who is actually setting the trends
in terms of exorbitant fees. May be if we may try to find
out that angle then we might be able to directly attack the
actual monster to void this thing of shooting unseen
target.
If we say government must take the leading role here is
question might arise that, will the very same government be
able to absorb multitude of graduates and what will be the
relevance of thier skills. As we all know yes education is
a political issue but at what level is political entry
relevant and whose interest will it be serving for what
gain. Progressive formation must try to look into such
issues holistically so that some possible soultions might
be multi-fitting to wholesome. I might be a bit limited
with my submission but as an emerging learner I hope one
will graduate along the way with this kind of a forum.
The right to education cannot be compromised nor left in
the hands of few.
