Before the new era, varsities were key to Kenya’s future because they released graduates, but today they are a problem because they just release job seekers.
Graduates in the sense that it comprised job seekers and job creators in the same and equal measure. But today the ratio is unequal with job makers being the biggest casualty.
Even the entrepreneurs who resort to go in the difficult way, they are not supported instead demotivated and discouraged.
You will notice that those who ‘pass’ exams are awarded with big jobs and scholarships, while those who finish their course with an already established business venture are left to the dogs of competition.
If the varsities are appreciating and honoring first class honors students, even those who successfully set up their own business in line of their career deserve to be knighted.
Varsities do not put a lot of focus on entrepreneurship unit as they do on ensuring that you take and redo exams you might have missed, in fact entrepreneurship is a by the way unit in most of the careers.
Like minded comrades will agree that in Kenya there are jobs, but we do not have job creators, which results into the huge imbalance.
It is also unfortunate that most varsities have gone fully on business operation, rather than equipping skills and knowledge to the students. They just care so much after you have paid your tuition and exam fees.
I would like to ring a bell of opportunity to all job seekers, that they are largely wanted in job creation than job seeking.
