Thank you very much. Darwin's Institute, Professor Kirsten,
Professor Ben Anderson, I don't know everybody's names, sorry.
Thank you very much for the invite and for this honor that you've
given me a special thank you to the guys that did the real hard
work, all you 14 Doctor candidates who done amazingly well, I've been
to many, many doctoral graduations, I must tell you, but
you guys are really serious about your guys' thesis and the way you
guys do things.
Congratulations. The country needs people for innovation, education
studies. And before I go give you a little bit of my background, I
just want to make a little comment about the doctoral thesis that we
select. We find that universities throughout the country, many
students go about doing doctorates. The important question
is this, do we do a doctoral thesis just to take the register
to get our degree, or we are serious about changing situations
in the country? Do we study those doctorates of fine, innovative
ways to find credible solutions to the multifarious problems in the
different disciplines in our country, because we have libraries
full of research documents over and over again. Does anybody ever
take those documents and implement it to better the lives of the
people in this country. Universities have to look at that
very seriously, because you put a lot of effort into this thing.
It's years and years, or it's sometimes two years of hard work.
You wait for months for the Ethics Committee to get you your
approval, and then you sit for hours, sacrificing your family.
You have the your course coordinators and those looking
after you, your supervisors checking what you're doing. But
all that money is not of no use, even though doctors are not
implemented for the benefit of society.
