Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund , Sonny Echono, has called for more investment in primary and secondary schools to enhance the pursuit of purposive tertiary education, which is tailored towards meeting society’s needs.
According to him, politicians prefer to invest on road, market and other infrastructures that they can use to bolster their campaigns at the next election, adding that a good governor who invests in education, understands that the fruits of those seeds he is planting may come forward between 12 and 16 years when his two terms would have expired.
While stating that the best investment anyone can leave for his children is education, he said many politicians are not interested in education because there are no tangible results to see from their investments during their time in office. “When people begin to take drugs, commit suicide, carry out all sorts of violent crimes, they are people who do not have any sense, they are not holding unto anything. There is no value for them. There is no civilisation for them to protect because they don’t feel part of them system.
