How AFRICA has denounce its education system!

'free indeed, free of knowledge '
Free Education
A country without education system is like a toothless dog that bites but cannot impose pain. Education is the foundation and corner stone for each country’s development. It has to be sustained to maintain its quality. But when politics gets too much involved into education and introducing the so called ‘free education’ for a certain political agenda it compromises our education standard and quality. Free education isn’t an idea.

Yes South Africa might heavily be occupied by the society of a working class but education has to come at a price.  Patrice Lumumba once said that our political class has introduced ‘free education’, but is ‘free indeed, free of knowledge’ knowledge is free but education cannot be for free. Why are we not ashamed that these people who promised us the so call free education don’t even send their kids to our own domestic institution of higher learning but instead they introduce them to the British and American education system but yet we still fighting for non-paid education? Are they not ‘suspicious’ about the notorious free education? In case we forgot South Africa is the victim of wave of strike for free education. Free education will never reform African education, but it will sink it like a titanic.

Health
How many leaders especially of the political class who utilises our domestic hospitals? There are lots of doctors that are being trained all across Africa but instead these people prefer to cross frontiers in a quest for good health. Don’t they trust our doctors or is a matter of going out of Africa for vacation purpose? Recently Zimbabwean aging president Robert Mugabe whose health has invited lots of scrutiny from the media went to Singapore for medical check-up month ago. He left Zimbabwes’ very own hospitals such as Bulawayo Central Hospital, Murambinda Hospital, Harare Central Hospital etc. but he chose to go out of Africa and you ask yourself why? How does that depict African or African doctors specifically?

Colonised education
An education system without moral and African ethics lessons is nothing but a disguise to our education. Africa has long lost respect, patriotism, nationalism. In fact we have been moulded to hate Africa unlike those who lived before us. When you’re morally educated your judgement towards certain issues does not only offers you the advantage but the rest of the people. But if it offers small group an advantage and leave the rest out its morally wrong. It raises some few if not lots of questions when an African is killing, conspire, and despise another African.  When you are ethically educated you respect but Africa has long lost that as results of colonised education. We need to be the architect of our own education system in order to build Africa again.
Africa can be great again !
