Education Minister Bright Msaka has challenged graduates of the Malawi School of Government (MSG) to use their qualifications and skills to drive transformation in the country, rather than treating their academic achievements as personal milestones.
Msaka made the remarks in Lilongwe during the MSG graduation ceremony, where 565 learners graduated.
He urged the graduates to become agents of transformation in their respective workplaces by using the knowledge they have acquired to improve organisations, solve problems and uphold integrity.
“Your qualifications should not be only a personal achievement but a national achievement. Wherever you work, become an agent of transformation. Improve the organisation that you belong to. Solve problems and uphold integrity,” said Msaka.
MSG Director General Professor Louis Dzimbiri also challenged the graduates to use their newly acquired competencies and skills to bring positive change to their workplaces and contribute to national development.
Dzimbiri said the institution’s focus is on producing graduates with relevant competencies needed to support Malawi’s development aspirations.
“Our aim is to ensure that we are providing relevant graduates, with relevant competences and skills to the Malawi nation. Malawi wants to be urbanised and industrialised by 2063. To achieve that, it requires human capacities,” he said.
The graduation comes as Malawi continues to emphasise the development of skilled human resources as a key component in achieving its long-term development goals.
