More
graduands join the band wagon
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
November 06, 2007
More than three
thousand graduands from the University
of Zimbabwe were honoured with various degrees by President
Mugabe on Friday 2 November 2007 at the University of Zimbabwe.
Zinasu congatulates these brave comrades who managed to soldier
on, irregardliness of the pressing economic, social and political
conditions which they operated under.These students managed to overcome
all odds putting into consideration the unhealthy learning environment
they endured at the institute of higher learning.
The learning conditions
at UZ have deteriorated in the past years with students being chucked
out of halls of residences by Nyagura's cruel administration, lecturers
engaging in endless strikes and go slows, inadequate studying materials
and exorbitant tuition fees beyond the reach of many. And it is
our concern that if the situation continues unabated there is fear
of the University manufacturing half baked graduands. It is clear
that 80% of these graduands will be without empolyment and it is
sad to note that after all the efforts parents put in educating
their children they still have to continue providing for them instead
of the other way round.
Our greatest fear is
that if the situation does not improve, our country will continue
to lose expatriates to surrounding and overseas countries. This
brain drain is posing serious negative effects on the country which
has been reduced to a training ground for other countries who have
better perfoming economies. Zinasu will continue to work even harder
to ensure that students get the best education.
Again congratulations
to those honoured with the cap of knowledge.
