I totally agree with you Freedomexist, not because I've stayed in Britain before but because the same happens in Nigeria. Higher education to me is like packing a fish in a can, when there's an ocean out there to swim. It pains my heart when I see so much corruption in wanton abandonment, and the so called 'educated' will turn blind eye, busy on a rat race...sighs!!!
I'm a victim myself and i will make sure my child learns the value of self-education and self-discovery.... In that is peace and abundance of life!
