When education is without character and learning By Olisa Egwuatu
The words on a degree certificate of a standard university usually include the proclamation, “…having been found worthy in character and learning…” This presupposes that the degree recipients imbibed not just book knowledge but also moral and ethical principles which are expected to be visible in their attitudes and behaviours throughout life.
