So are you saying that we of African descentcannot do anything but IT and Business Studies? |If you look in any university we are over-represented in these departments and under-represented in science, engineering, mathematics, medicineand other disciplines yet we need these skills to build our communities and countries
I don't have a problem with anyone studying these courses my concern is at the over-representation of people of African descent in on these courses as opposed to engineering for instance, if you look at it purely on an individual level then there's no problem but if you look wider than this, particularly globally then the issue is critical as a people we need a wide range of professional skills it is not and should not just be about 'what the individual wants' but also what is needed, even this very individualistic society recignises that which is why for instance ther is a push to encourage more science undergraduates (they're just not encouraging us)
