    "content": "disconnect. These people who go to this professional body have passed their regular courses. That means that they have done regular courses and have been tested for this. However, when they go for their professional exams, something goes wrong. So, it seems there is a disconnect with the way they have been trained and what they have been learning and when they do the professional exam, they are asked completely different things. Therefore, there is need to audit and find out exactly what the situation might be. Is it high-pitched and, therefore, what they learn from the universities is not as high- pitched as what they are tested professionally? What are the professional bodies adding in terms of content and the courses that they are doing in the university and how can it be addressed? From this Petition by Sen. Omogeni, all these issues have been raised. Therefore, it is important that this Petition is seized in the Senate. I am sure that the Committee that it will go to will look to its details. There is also the issue of money. Most of these exams are expensive. However, I also know that in many other countries, sometimes, professional exams take quite a bit of time before a person gets there. Again, we must remember that it is the link before a person can practise professionally. In certain areas, for example, medicine, the implication of not being able to get the certification from the professional body is serious. For example, in medicine, a person handles human beings and if you put in the wrong medicine, that person will die. So, it could be that they are high-pitched for a particular reason. However, they need to explain this so that as students begin their courses, they can be rightfully guided. Probably, most of the courses that they have done have been theoretical and now they have to switch to the practical. May be, this has to do with the educational system right from nursery up to the point where they are."
