Initiating an education drive

What can be said about the state of education in the country when our universities continue to compete fo the scare funding resources made available to them  by the government. You have the academic staff that is not adequately paid and you have a curricular that has not been seriously designed keeping the challenges  and long-term requirements of the 21st century in mind.

The lack of well-qualified and highly-motivated faculty in our university  and colleges is a common problem. Poor working conditions together with low pay scales and weak incentives have contributed to the brain drain form our seats of learning. The scenario becomes even more depressing when our educational institutions do not offer opportunities to our youngster and he young professionals to learn and expand their intellectual horizons. they are, therefore, unable to gain the valuable skills that help them in seeking employment or further their academic careers.
