Here is why technical students appear 'better' than graduates

A former TVET Director Norman Wambay knows just where to direct the blame: University professors. According to Wambayi, former Director of Skills and Quality Assurance, professors in Universities are ‘dry’ interns of skills — and are transmitting that to their students.

“Professors are sick. They do not have skills to offer to their students. They make students graduate and have nothing to offer once they are in their respective fields. It’s a pity to them (students),” Wambayi told Campus Vibe, adding: TVET students are more knowledgeable in terms of skills than the university comrades. He says Universities should be a hub of increasing knowledge and not dealing with ‘minor’ issues that will distract them from research.
