This article on South African Doctoral education programs has some very interesting information. None of which really matter in regards to education. The biggest thing is that they are looking at education as an economic boost. They are not looking at it to form better human beings, but to better the economy which in return will mainly help the rich.
Why would students want to keep going on to a doctoral program if it costs lots of money (which it does), and they are not being formed as caring human beings? I don't feel that there is a point to doctoral programs unless it makes you even better at what you want to do.
