    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a partnership. For example, Parliament checks the Executive. The university will train, but they also have their own vested interests. You can find that out from the thousands that are graduating with all sorts of qualifications. That is a fact. The universities have to generate income and we know that. Therefore, because of that, there is nothing wrong with a professional body telling us whether the quality of what we are delivering is good enough. The Commission for Higher Education is expected to coordinate and harmonize institutions and curriculum before registration of institutions. But that does not prevent universities from doing other things once they have been registered. It is at that point that we need some other professional bodies to be part of that initiative; to check on the standards in our universities. It is absolutely not wrong and the universities have accepted that. We have to continue partnering with the private sector. We accept that partnership because they have a role to give us some inputs in terms of both the curriculum and the standards that they expect of the people that we train."
