................................................
Jagdeo's 'A' Level results were better than lots of QC students. He did excellent in University although his college was not as recognized as that of Cheddi and Burnham. He was way ahead in Economics and Finance concepts compared to Cheddi and Burnham.

Attending Bygeval High means that he had to be not too sharp at Common Entrance.

Maybe he got a score to go to QC and did not go because he could not afford it.

OK, since you want to go there . . . what exactly were Jagdeo's 'A' Level results??

I maintain that Burnham was academically a lot more brilliant than Jagdeo. Attending Bygeval High means that he had to be not too sharp at Common Entrance. Having better A Level results than a few QC students does not make someone a scholar. I'm sure there were many QC students who had better A Level results than Jagdeo since he didn't win the Guyana Scholarship. Burnham winning the Guyana Scholarship meant that he had THE best A level results in the nation. When it comes to public speaking Burnham made Jagdeo look like an amateur. Jagdeo is not as fluent a speaker as Burnham unless he's in cuss down mode. That's what he excels at. Do you think that Jagdeo majoring in Economics meant that he would have a better understanding of Economics concepts than Burnham? In that case I can say that Burnham was a much better attorney than Jagdeo. Burnham excelled in a real university in the UK. Jagdeo attended an ideological brainwashing school in the USSR run by the KGB. No comparison, not even close.

Burnham and Jagan probably took a few economics courses when they were at University. If you listened to their May day speeches from the national park you would realized that they both knew clearly about the different econonmic concepts. But they were not trained deeply in the subject. Jagdeo was. So their knowledge in the subject is not as deep as Jagdeo's knowledge of the subject.

One problem with Guyanese governments is that the individual in charge of the different ministries doe snot have to have any sort of university qualification to do the job. Another problem is that many Guyanese assume that the president knows enough about economics in order to be able to make financial decisions.
In most credible government the Treasury takes care of the economic situation and the minister in charge has the appropriate degrees and education.

Economics is a school of thought. It is based on a series of theories and supplemented with statistical data. It is primary a reading course where you analyze both planned economies and private economies. Nobody teaches you anything. You can like a theory or dispute it. It calls for analytic thinking based on whatever models you like or don't like.

What an Idiot!

You think that they were reading Samuelson in Economics 101 @ Patrice Lumumba U??

Stick to what you know . . . don't embarrass yourself further.

I carefully restricted my comments to the teaching of "Economics" in the former Soviet Union, and to Patrice Lumumba University; the average Russian would have preferred to die rather than have their children 'educated' there [flag 'hyperbole' for the slow].

Develop the habit of actually reading (not skimming) what others post before commenting!

I never 'accused' Jagdeo of being a communist, stop LYING!

I have pointed out that he is an POORLY EDUCATED 'leader' of thieves and thugs.
