[lugm.org] University of Mauritius Head technician

[TripleZ Seventeen]

The issue here is not about whether the lecturers use rote learning in the
first place or not. It's more about how come we have lecturers, who, as the
students here have been saying, a bit incompetent. Do you blame the
lecturer for not knowing, or the system for not knowing how to recruit
people. This leads us to another interesting question, where are those who
actually know the subject? My bet? Pissed off with an educational system
that doesn't work, and doesn't care about whether the students learn or
not. The educational system only cares about making money, and creating the
maximum number of graduates.

You can blame the lecturer, but at most what will happen is that the
lecturer will be removed, and you'll get another, who will probably be the
same.
Want to do something worthwhile, change the system.
