If we need to develop this country and the education system a brave leader of this country should stop this practice. We need to announce that NO GOVERNMENT JOBS ENSURED FOR UNIVERSITY GRADUATES AFTER 5 YEARS. The job of government is not to just provide jobs. It should facilitae developing the economy to generate more productive employment. In 21st century higher education target is to provide university degrees to 100% population( Of course it is the target). If this country can achieve this we will have all graduates in the government ( Not the political leadership. 51% who cannot pass GCE (0/L) can think of that sector) While appreciating providing jobs to unemployed I would categorically against the practice of providing government jobs to unemployed graduates.
