Because I’ve been a recipient of failed policies and have a deeper understanding of its impact, I decided to enrol at the Blavatnik School of Government to learn how sounds policies could be formulated and effectively implemented to make my country and the world a better place. Through the support of WHT I settled in well. The programme not only focuses on moral philosophy, economics and politics but most importantly on developing a strong character as a leader and how that affects other people. I have been so inspired by the professors, colleague Scholars and particularly the wonderful and supportive staff of WHT.
