| dc.description.abstract | A University is an institution of higher learning, where
people's minds are supposed to be trained for clear and
independent thinking, analysis and problem solving at the
highest levels. The function of a university includes amongst
others: transmitting advanced knowledge from one
generation to another so that this can serve either as a basis
of action, or as a springboard for further research to advance
the frontiers of knowledge. A university therefore is meant
to provide an opportunity for the highest intellectual inquiry.
It must challenge its students to develop their powers of
constructive thinking; it must also encourage its academic
staff to do original research and to play a full part in
promoting intelligent discussions on issues of human
concern. In a nutshell, a university is meant to be the engine
of development and a source of solution to many problems,
whether social, economic or political. | en_US |
