[lugm.org] University of Mauritius Head technician

[Jerry Lee]

In regards to educational system that only care about making money, I think
that's the same thing around the world. That's not just in Mauritius.

I've noticed that many students here in Thailand doesn't even bother to
study, though paying huge sum in advance for the first quarter (ca. approx.
575,XXX MUR). I've even heard that lecturers get warned by the institutions
to make their students getting good grade though failing their exams. So,
who to blame? Educational System? Institutions? Or Lecturers?
