    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that when you compare our universities with universities like Havard University or Stanford University or Cambridge University, we cannot expect to be as highly rated as those institutions, because universities in the world also have a great deal to do with the resources that are available. We must appreciate that our universities will never be of those standards, because we have never met those standards in anything else. What we are doing, though, is to put measures in place to ensure that we can gradually improve the quality of education in our universities. I would like to tell this House that our students who leave undergraduate degree programmes to pursue further studies in the United States, Europe and other places do particularly well. The rating has more to do with other things than with teaching. The rating is about publications and many other things that we do not consider. I agree that we have to do better but, again, compared to universities in Africa, because this is also relative, our universities are not doing so badly. However, we need to complete with the best universities in the world, and we are doing our best."
