Summary
Higher education is important investment of every individu to learn and build their competency to prepare and compete within the framework of the world of work. The learning process in higher education is continuously improved in the terms of learning programs, models, methods and teaching techniques. This continuing improvement aims to better prepare the graduates to function efficiently and adjust readily within the needs of business and industry contexts.

The educational institution is currently facing serious criticism for not being able to produce well-prepared graduates.
