What is the university of the future?

AS the nation celebrates the New Year, critical sovereign institutions should recount on their progress relative to change.
By now, these institutions should experience significant philosophical awakening sufficient to constructively guide the sovereignty into the future.
A future that impresses and win admiration and respect among nations.
How can that be possible is a question many people ask.
Most are reluctant to ask during their conversation out of fear of being down played, or rather, getting a negative response from predetermined minds.
Even taking a brief look at our university graduates, you would be surprised of the results.
These people are conferred with university and college diplomas and degrees – occupying important positions in both the private and public sector.
The question most people ask is; “Are our universities and colleges doing enough to train and develop the country’s future minds to appreciate philosophical realisation in the various schools of thoughts?
There appears to be nothing of significance in the last 20 years, especially in two of the country’s leading universities, University of PNG and University of Technology
Any sovereignty including ours cannot do without universities and colleges.
But the question remains: How much are these institutions doing to inspire a philosophical wind of change to produce a generation that can compete with the best and create life-changing opportunities for Papua New Guineans?
Unless these institutions reorganise themselves to transform their idle philosophical cultures, and take a more proactive approach, PNG will still remain a country that is philosophically malnourished.
