This is a balanced piece from a partisan which should be digested by all stakeholders in trying to reach a solution to recurring strikes in public universities. For the first time, we have an education minister who accepts responsibility for the government's part in the strike.
Education is underfunded by the governments at the federal and state levels. Secondly, it is a service that is not rightly priced because it has been politicized. No government wants to confront this reality. Beneficiaries of university education must pay for it. It does not come cheap and not all applicants can benefit from it. The bright students should have access to scholarships and education loans.
The government has competing claims on its resources and cannot bear the brunt of tertiary education alone. Parents, guardians and students must bear their share of the education burden.
ASUU members are entitled to their pay and allowances. This can only happen if education is right-priced. There must be a meeting of stakeholders to fashion out how this can be done away from ASUU strike.
