EDITORIAL

Reforms in the education system One of the previous administration's greatest achievements was its legislation regarding tertiary education. It did not go as far as needed to fully resolve the problems, but was certainly a major step forward. To pass the law, the government had to confront vested interests. So it would be a pity if the reforms were not completed out of a fear of how those same vested interests will react.
