The inability to produce high-quality graduates is more
obvious at the undergraduate level. Much has been made of
the large pool of (understandably) angry unemployed black
graduates, but less has been said about whether they have
been betrayed by being given substandard degrees.
[T]he betrayal here is likely to be threefold:
– students have typically received inadequate basic education;
– they have been led to believe that a university degree provides
a better chance of employment than other less glamorous
artisans;
– they received a tertiary education that is substandard.
