How can one describe a government which throws aways its own students into the streets? This is a clear sign that the MMD does not value univerisity education. Those students can be suspended but NOT expelled. How can a government turn its back on its own citizen? MMD is contributing to unemployment- So what should those CBU students do now?
If 2009 was an election year, these students would not be expelled. But Zambians need to remember this sad situation when we cast votes again in 2011. MMD has taken Zambian backwards to 1963 when the colonial government would expell any Zambian for speaking about independence and freedom. This what MMD is about.
President Banda is already referred by some people as "elder father"-which he is....We ask him to unconditionally reinstate those students. Let him show Zambians,he cares for all Zambians.
Zambia is in desperate need of economist, engineers, professors and MBAs...and here we have MMD machine expelling students. Zambians must see this in context, this is not about CBU management,but it about MMD hammering any critics to their failed policies.
By expelling students,MMD is saying it does not value education and does not want Zambains to be educated.This is wrong and it must repealed. If really MMD is serious, it must send a strong message to CBU managament that it does not recognize the expulsion of students. MMD continue to get away with this failure for too long.
Our university students deserve better. Zambians deserve better. How many closures will the two main universities experience? The MMD has completely failed to run these two many institutions. It is time for Government to let go and let ordinary Zambians be in charge.The problem at CBU and UNZA is the MMD which has failed to implement workable educational policies.
Other countries have more than two universities, actually each province or regions have more than one university e.g Nigeria or South Africa.
The Copperbelt University (CBU) has expelled the entire students union leadership for breaching student rules and regulations following their involvement in the disturbances that that took place at the institution.CBU registrar Allan Ilunga said in a statement yesterday that the decision was arrived at after a sanate meeting, which also resolved that the university be re-opened on Sunday September 13, 2009.
