Abstract
Faculties and academic institutions have been trying hard and often failing in getting their scholars understand in true spirit the objective of the program they are learning, more commonly in professional study programs that in fact are focused towards a defined and selected set of professional skills. Formal education had been in existence for many hundred centuries yet failing meeting the current industrial demand of required skills and attitude.
Highlights
Why? Is the Academic Industry much slower to anticipate the industrial requirements? Are the academic institutions not capable enough to respond to the changed requirements in given timeframe? Are the Educational Policy Makers not capable enough or inexperienced about the industry? Are the industries not able to convey their skill requirements unambiguously? Why are the colleges, universities, and educational institutions failing to support Economic and Social Development of Countries and Continents?
I was chairing a session in an International Conference in a reputed university of India where a very senior speaker was addressing the audience comprising of senior professionals, researchers, educationalists, corporate representatives, as well as many young scholars of the universities and colleges
The incident highlighted that somewhere our education system or teaching pedagogy is killing the Innovation of these young scholars and restricting them to respond to the need of ‘defined program’ strictly in the format defined for the program
Summary
Faculties and academic institutions have been trying hard and often failing in getting their scholars understand in true spirit the objective of the program they are learning, more commonly in professional study programs that are focused towards a defined and selected set of professional skills. Formal education had been in existence for many hundred centuries yet failing meeting the current industrial demand of required skills and attitude. Are the academic institutions not capable enough to respond to the changed requirements in given timeframe? Are the Educational Policy Makers not capable enough or inexperienced about the industry? Universities, and educational institutions failing to support Economic and Social Development of Countries and Continents?. Some of the questions have been raised and an attempt to answer or support some of them has been made in the current context
