[Civsoc-mw] [HigherEdMalawi] Creating database on Africa-based primary & secondary education experts

Tue Mar 28 14:21:31 CAT 2017

Dear Noel,

Moving from a Bachelor's degree to PhD is allowable in the EU; following
the Bologna Process where some bachelor's degree programmes are equated to
a master level qualification. I agree with the rest of your email and
questions that need deep reflection. Kind regards,

adamson
