Education sinking deeper into crisis

The Department of Tertiary Education Financing (DTEF) in the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MOESD) features prominently in the local press and airwaves for all the wrong reasons. There isn’t much Parliament can do other than for MPs to ask questions and use the opportunity of the budget speech session, especially committee stages and the State of the National Address to voice out the people’s concerns.

The Minister of Education and her two assistants appear to be either not in charge or have a little or no clue about what is going on in the ministry.
