#CAMPUSNEWS:: As UI School of Business (UISB) Debuts

Source: Sun Newspaper

University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s Premier University is thinking out of the box. The 65-year old institution is becoming more creative in order to effectively blend with the current trend in this knowledge driven global economy.

In being creative, the university is beginning to take a second look at most of its courses that have been in existence since 1948 when the university was established in relation with the modern demands.

It was George Kneller, author of Existentialism and Education who noted that “creativity consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted”. This is exactly the scenario in UI. Many things that had hitherto been taken for granted are now receiving serious intellectual interrogation with a view to conforming to the contemporary needs.

The recently created and inaugurated University of Ibadan School of Business (UISB), where regular and contemporary, short-time courses, customized workshops, consultancy and research for various organizations and companies will be in the offering is one of the fall outs of a new vision.

#CAMPUSNEWS:: Report says all 25,000 candidates failed Liberian University Entrance Exam

The “epic fail” of every single candidate in the admission exam provoked bafflement, consternation and heated debate on Tuesday, with some convinced that flaws in Liberia’s education system had been brutally exposed. A government minister likened it to “mass murder”.

The results mean there will be no freshers at west Africa’s oldest degree-granting institution, one of two state-run universities in Liberia, when it reopens its doors next month for another academic year.

According to university officials, the applicants lacked enthusiasm and did not have a basic grasp of English. Spokesman Momodu Getaweh told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme that the university stood by its decision and would not be swayed by emotion. “In English, the mechanics of the language, they didn’t know anything about it.

The protesting workers, who are members of the Non-Academic Staff Union and the National Association of Academic Technologists in the six campuses of the institution, described the no-work-no-pay threat as laughable.
