Editor,

I am really disgruntled with this misconception of employers that the Rwandan education system is poor, hence incompetent graduates. It’s not true; employers are just eliminating the ‘unknown’ graduates so that they create employment for sons and daughters of the ‘who is who’ of this country.

This is nepotism and corruption.

A young lady recently applied for a job in a certain bank but when she went to submit her application it was rejected without even someone looking at her papers, reason being that the University of Rwanda sends them the list of fresh graduates with the best grades. 

Is this a transparent way of recruiting fresh graduates? Every graduate should be given a chance to undergo an interview. Let the interviews eliminate those who do not qualify; not the universities where they studied.

Shaddy
