Habemus Papam! Cardinal Bergolio Elected Pope - Francis I

Brothers and sisters good evening. 
You all know that the duty of the Conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother Cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him… but here we are. I thank you for the welcome that has come from the diocesan community of Rome.
First of all I would like to say a prayer pray for our Bishop Emeritus Benedict XVI. Let us all pray together for him, that the Lord will bless him and that our Lady will protect him.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory to the Father…

And now let us begin this journey, the Bishop and the people, this journey of the Church of Rome which presides in charity over all the Churches, a journey of brotherhood in love, of mutual trust. Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world that there might be a great sense of brotherhood. My hope is that this journey of the Church that we begin today, together with the help of my Cardinal Vicar, may be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful city.
And now I would like to give the blessing. But first I want to ask you a favour. Before the Bishop blesses the people I ask that you would pray to the Lord to bless me – the prayer of the people for their Bishop. Let us say this prayer – your prayer for me – in silence. 
[The Protodeacon announced that all those who received the blessing, either in person or by radio, television or by the new means of communication receive the plenary indulgence in the form established by the Church. He prayed that Almighty God protect and guard the Pope so that he may lead the Church for many years to come, and that he would grant peace to the Church throughout the world.]
[Immediately afterwards Pope Francis gave his first blessing Urbi et Orbi – To the City and to the World.]
I will now give my blessing to you and to the whole world, to all men and women of good will.
Brothers and sisters, I am leaving you. Thank you for your welcome. Pray for me and I will be with you again soon... We will see one another soon. 
Tomorrow I want to go to pray to the Madonna, that she may protect Rome.
Good night and sleep well!

WHY SCHOOLING?

        Today in the African Studies Class our tutor started   lesson  with a very simple question which appeared to be somehow difficulty when it hit our ear drums. He said "Well students you are doing African Studies, what do you want to become? Here at the college we have those who do Education and some day they become teachers, those who do law are going to become lawyers,,,, and you African Studies students what do you want to achieve?

In my ears the question came  differently. It sounded "WHY SCHOOLING?" Ask this same question to the students in some higher learning institutions here in Tanzania. You will be astonished with the responses you will get. Some particular courses at the colleges due to external influences like advice from friends or persuasive words from parents or other people who may happen to be the ones to provide the bursary. Some other do courses in higher learning institution without any goal. It is embarrassing when you pose this question before them.  Majority of the students in higher learning institutions will answer the question  basing on the employment and earning a living issues. Most parents too are always worried when their children take such courses like African Studies or Philosophy which appear not to be promising employment someday.
            Among the issues i hate is when i hear about moving form one office to another with your CV and Certificates and the application letters in search for a job.  Can't I do something different apart from being employed when I complete my college studies? Unemployment is always the problem in many countries even in great nations like United State of America. Higher learning institutions produce more "experts" and professionals than the offices can accommodate them. Can't these graduates or rather professionals and experts do something different apart from being obsessed with being hired by some organizations?
           When most university students aim at being employed someday when they complete their studies gives me a clue that there must be something terribly wrong somewhere.  Unless we arrest it the society will always have graduates who can't use their knowledge they learnt from colleges to do something different.
I think there is something wrong with the education system. What do the students learn in these institutions? Are they taught to become creative? Are they taught to become self employed? Or it is the education system which the teacher delivers the materials and the students have to reproduce them when the exam comes, such that when they are able to cram and write the same thing they were taught in the answer sheet they graduate with A's but they can't use what they have learnt and become self employed but hope to be hired?

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?????? Write your comments
