| Summary: | The suggestion made by the Ministry of Higher Education to include cocurricular
contribution as part of the
coming university intake appears to have received support all around.

system.
Though no doubt there have been a number of achievements that we can be proud of, the question is at what
expense?
For instance, how about our performance in sports, our social etiquette, moral and ethical standards and other
sociocultural
indicators?
Of late, these have been hogging the headlines almost daily, raising grave concern across the nation. |
