Our problem is that we have had idiots as leaders and government offcials for a long time. Things will not change till we get our act together to seek and demand good leadership.

You truly believe that everyone who applies should get in because they are qualified? wow. Selling admission forms is not a plot to make money. Take some time and visit the website of the university and see the number of projects that a being run concurrently without government funding. You clearly have no idea what goes into running an educational institution.If you have anywhere to look for answers, read the fine print.

Since the NDC took over, we have always been having problems with our salaries. It was also the same under Rawlings. Under Kufour, we never had any problems like these, and lecturers and workers did not have to think of even a 'ONE HOUR STRIKE'.

Mr. President are you a Christian, or do you people read the Bible? Where is the Finance Minister or the Deputy Minister of Education. Even the 10 per cent salary arrears have not been paid.

The premier university of Ghana - The University of Ghana Legon sadly does not appear in the top 500 universities on earth. This must be corrected immediately. The university in order to achieve this must improve:
1) Faculty student ratio
2) The number of research projects it carries out
3) The test scores of its entry class (internationally normalised)
4) Employers' review of performance of its graduates (local and abroad)
5) Peer review by other universities
