Editorial | Reformation Is The Key!

Over the time there has been a pressing need to develop a model of education that teaches students how to deal with real-life challenges rather than mere theoretically inundated curriculum. The growing commercialization of education has turned it into a more profitable business sector than the objectives and results it actually should bring out. Education factories are proliferating, which is causing degrees and human resources to lose value. The mushrooming of factories of education has caused institutions (of higher learning) to lose their social relevance. Contrariwise, such education ought to foster social cohesion and make people become valuable members of society. We must not forget that the youth must be conscious change agents who consider sustainable development approaches. While leading the way in each of our respective fields, this consciousness must take into account the demands of our neighbourhood and the environment. Professional education programmes still place a strong emphasis on developing loyal workers who can produce the necessary output, much as they did during colonial rule. The unfortunate truth is that even once students enroll in professional universities, the emphasis is still on classroom instruction rather than learning about the outside world. The only goal of such education is to secure highly lucrative and productive employment prospects. Furthermore,equally significant areas like the humanities, natural sciences, history, economics, and languages had been completely disregarded. The importance of interpersonal connections and responsible citizenship must be emphasized in our institutions. To provide young minds the skills and attitudes they need to reform our society with awareness and the appropriate understanding, education should integrate our historical baggage with a futuristic perspective. The universities and their research divisions ought to concentrate on problems that the nation is facing and work to develop complete solutions. The government should actively support this effort by allocating the money needed for research and innovation. If we allow our most important fields of study and research to suffer from a lack of financing, it will take a serious toll on the dreams the nation otherwise vyes for.
