On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

I'm not dismissing the value of higher education; I'm simply saying it comes at the expense of experience.

The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free form of government.

Youth - our greatest resource - is being seriously neglected in a vital respect. The nation as a whole is not preparing teachers or building schools fast enough to keep up with the increase in our population.

Education is really bread and butter citizenship. It is just necessary to the developing of citizens that can perform their duties properly.
