NOWADAYS we find a craze among local students for grabbing international qualifications. This is alarming. The faith in local qualifications is declining because of rejections by employers.

This is not all. The employees also fear because of the induction of internationally qualified employees, thinking that a person might be favoured due to his prestigious degree rather than the local degree holder’s hard work.

When we talk about a change, we should build a nation with huge faith in local qualifications. Let us work together to better our education system by appreciating its positive features and filling up the vacuum.
