So in a country like Guyana who is going to fund the university?  The students through school fees?  A private investor needs a return on his invested capital. So where is he going to get this? 

The cost to run a college, including a return on investment will imply high tuition if it is to be fully funded by students.  So how will students be able to pay back the loans? Already in the USA, with its much higher salaries we have a student loan crisis, so what of impoverished Guyana where professionals earn the same salaries as baby sitters in Barbados!

Education is a social good and in a poor country this has to be guaranteed by the government.  And I don't understand your screams when there are loads of state owned colleges in the USA. And there is also CUNY. Even though there are ample foundations and even though larger universities here have endowments which can be used to fund the financing gaps.

Why is it OK for a stadium to be government owned and a university not?

At this rate why should we even have a government at all? What functions should the government have if access to education isn't something that it should be involved in. Yes have a lawless society like Somalia where no government exists.

Man your head is hard, all these years I have been hammering sense into your thick skull but yet you regress to asinine assumptions. 

How can you compare a stadium, an inanimate object, to a university, a living breathing dynamic entity which requires educators, students, curriculum and learning aids? This is a comparison of apples to oranges. 

Govt should not be in the business of higher education, their skill is politics, not running schools and industry. 

Who funds state college and Universities in the US?

You think that a government can own a stadium but ought not to be involved in education. Or that the hospital can be so deplorable that Jagdeo was afraid to get treatment there for basic "run belly".  This when his crony were running that hospital.

Put aside the fact that even the capitalist USA has a massive system of government owned colleges.  Even right wing states like Texas. 

Yet you think that Guyana can support a privately owned university where there are no endowments or foundations.

Note to you. A university isn't like some "cram shop" where students are trained to pass exams.

How will the cost to fully educate a student be funded?  The level of tuition that will have to be charged will be way beyond 

Yes Jagdeo could waste taxpayers' funds to build a stadium and even more to celebrate his birthday there and then punish those civil servants who refused to attend.  This is exactly what Burnham would do and exactly why government should NOT own a stadium.  He is like one of those African dictators.

Don't expect druggie to answer that. The man never went to a proper university so has no idea what a university entails.

By the same token how do you explain the spending by govt on 50% raises for themselves while the university and hospitals have all these ills? Why did jackass Granger build that monstrosity at Durban park and didn't fund the school system and hospitals? Why is Nagamootoo driving around in 5 different vehicles while these ills exists?  At least Guyana has a stadium under Jagdeo, what does it have to show under the PNC? Hard times, murder, fleeing businesses as the Black party continue to mismanage the economy.  Govt officials under the PNC teking nuff nuff overseas trips, giving their relatives taxpayers funded scholarships to study overseas. GDF/GPF getting nuff nuff overseas trips while the schools and hospitals continue to languish. 

Carib is a typical PNC boy. They cannot build or develop anything meaningful. They eat and sleep in the same place forever.

Their eyes catch fire when others make progress.
