Coast university a welcome initiative

The planned coast university is a good tiding after years of clamouring by coastal people.
However, the Muslim population is apprehensive of marginalisation and feel preliminary preparations and comparative study of regional education standards is necessary in order to redress the current imbalance.

The poor education standards at the coast need to be recognised and rectified. This calls for participation by the highest cream of coast and Muslim educationists as well as creation of a quota system. Otherwise it will only be an extension of present situation where the university intake of coastal people, and Muslims in particular, is negligible.
