Well, being a country of limited resources, any criteria that can be used is being employed to eliminate those with access said resources, eg jobs, housing, etc. In this case, emphasis on the degree as a requirenment to get a job was more are a point on the qualification boards than what it actually meant. Thats why the quality of said degree programmes has really diminished but no one is actually crying foul over this. Because its quality does not come out clearly. Being as is and working with what we have, at the level where Yawe is, say age and experience. The most logical things to consider in his hire are his philosophy, experience and prudent track record. A 198 degree is irrelevant. if you pitch him against a degree holder of his time frame that went home to ruminate, will you really say Yawe is least qualified. In this day and age, and with a looming vision 2030, we really need to cut out the sentiment and go with what trully makes sense. #onward ... On 12/21/11, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
Solomon,
I was looking for support before making the following remarks.
When the time comes for the selection of a new PMG I hope that there will be a number of criteria used in evaluating the candidates of which paper qualifications need not have a higher score than other areas.
What I want to evaluated on is my experience, understanding of PCK, a vision to take it forward, and that elusive gut feeling about what needs to get done.
Getting someone to maintain the status quo is not rocket science as has been seen over the years, finding an undertaker to strip and shut-down PCK is a walk in the park but the true test is finding someone who can turn it around and make it leap into the 21st Century.
I strongly believe that person is me.

well, if a school has high standards.....anyway in my field(law) graduates are a mix because now we have the same number of Module II students as JAB students. But the point is that the oomf is not only a matter of intelligence, but also confidence, experience in addressing issues...
