    "content": "who have gone to university without jobs than having children who have not gone to school at all. You find some universities offering courses starting from certificate, diploma, higher diploma up to degree level. That should be avoided. We have middle-level colleges which should take care of the certificates, diplomas and higher diplomas and then the universities should concentrate on offering first degrees and master’s moving forward. Some of the clauses in this Bill are very important, like the issue of funding. It is important to know how universities will be funded according to their needs. That should also be put in place so that some of them are not over-staffed at the expense of others. Some are over- staffed and over-funded. Too many courses do not make sense. University education should be well researched. We should go for technology because that is where we need to go. I think this is an important Bill. University education must be regulated, funded and guided properly. Students must be guided in terms of career choices. If you ask students what course they want to do, they have no idea. A lot of mentorship should be done on students so that they can know what they want to be in future. We should also have those colleges segmented. Long time ago, if you wanted to be a doctor, you would go to Makerere University and if you wanted to do an engineering course, you would go to the University of Nairobi. Why is it now done haphazardly and every university wants to offer everything? Every faculty in each college should be segmented. It is important. I wish to support the Bill."
