Respondents thought students were more interested in getting a degree on paper than attaining knowledge (42.72 per cent). They also felt universities were too business-oriented so those with money were sure to get a degree (42.56 per cent), and study programmes emphasise theories rather than practice so graduates can find jobs easily (32.4 per cent). Other problems cited were: lack of quality in basic education affecting the quality of the university students' (29.28 per cent); study programmes not in line with market demands (28 per cent) and some lecturers' lack of quality (21.92 per cent). Other problems cited were the autonomy policy that made universities focus of survival rather than quality education (17.84 per cent); university executives' failures (11.36 per cent); universitysupervising agencies' failures (11.12 per cent) and universitys' internal politics (5.76 per cent).
