Growing up, I learned quickly that education is the key to success because it forms your mind, character and physical ability. All across the world, there're academic institutions designed to educate individuals. Basically, these institutions educate us on three levels - primary (elementary) education, secondary education and higher education. I don't know about you, but my parents understood the importance of quality education. Hence, they did not only send my siblings and I to school - they enrolled us in the best schools in Cameroon, namely: Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School, Mankon, Bamenda; Saint Augustine's College; Bishop Rogan College, Small Soppo; Saint Bede's College, Ashing - Kom; Government Bilingual High School (G.B.H.S), Bamenda; Government Technical High School (G.T.H.S), Bamenda. Which schools did you attend? I bet the schools you attended didn't only make you able to compete in the labour market, but made you who you are, as a person. Correct me if I'm wrong! The calibre of person I'm today is a testament of the fact that education is a fundamental tool for creating responsible and empowered citizens of the world.
That said, while looking at the QS World University Rankings 2009, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that LUND University - where I pursued a Master's degree in International Human Rights Law and International Labour Rights - is among the World's Top 100 universities. Below is the list of the World's top 100 universities for 2009:
I'm honored to have studied at Lund University, which is ranked 67 on the list of World's Top 100 Universities - 2009.
Did your university make it to the list? If not, don't worry - you're educated, anyway.
