Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: [NIgerianWorldForum] BABS FAFUNWA IS DEAD

D, just read that Babs Fafunwa died this morning. Last week i read that President Jonathan asked him to apologise for the failure of the 6-3-3-4 education system and he Fafunwa said he had nothing to apologise on. I am sure it is this issue that killed him. He must have been broken hearted to hear that the President openly gave him a vote of no confidence. I think the President should be careful on his utterances. In my opinion it is not the kind of programme we introduce that matters but how we make it work through the people who are supposed to run the programme as well as the content in the curricula.

Cheers.
