Ex-president pledge to be agent of change at UB

"The rapid change in new technologies and strategic developments has revolutionarised education as we have known it. A new breed of learners have emerged, learners who want to access all the information they need from anywhere, at anytime and on any subject," he said.

He explained that the model of education, where learners spent considerable time in front of a lecturer is fast disappearing. He said the UB will have to create new learning communities through connectivity which is key to individual development and academic success. "It is in this regard that I appeal to the government to invest a little more on policies that will enable our learners more access to connectivity. The extension of hot zones and wi-fis will alone not be enough," he said.
