Higher Education - Blantyre, Southern Region, Malawi
Blantyre International University was established in 2008 to provide high quality university education for this century. This is predicated on its belief that education must be life-long – that education is not a spatial monopoly of something called the school and college; not a time-bound learning experience; there is no such thing as childhood education, adolescent education, youth education, or adult education. There is just education which is a way of life, a life-long way of life. Every year, every month, everyday, a person will be learning, open to learning and must be given the opportunity to learn in the home, school, university, factory, farm, hospital, office, co-operative, church, trade union, political party, cinema and club, etc. Education must be open. In line with this philosophy, BIU holds the view that the university system has a responsibility to society as a whole to inculcate and promote basic human values and the capacity to choose between alternative value systems; preserve cultural traditions; promote rational outlook and scientific temper; promote the total development of character in our students; promote commitment to the pursuit of excellence, and above all; Contribute to the improvement of the entire educational system so as to serve the community.
