Education system failing due to lack of practical education

CASHT Managing Director speaks at a day-long orientation session held at Rawalpindi Arts Council

RAWALPINDI: The education system being practiced in Pakistan, is not delivering properly as it is only enhancing the number of standardised degree holders instead of producing professionals who could transform their learning and education in practice. The reason, is the huge gap between the theoretical and practical education, hence this needed to be bridged for the better interest of the country.

This was said by CASHT Managing Director Tayyab H. Malik while speaking at a day-long orientation session on Saturday. The session  held at Rawalpindi Arts Council (RAC) was organised by The Centre of Advance Studies in Health and Technology (CASHT) for its new-coming students, registered in fall semester in various programmes offered by the institute.

Education experts at the orientation session highlighted the importance of promoting target-oriented education to produce valued professionals rather than piling up the number of mere degree holders who instead of serving the society become a liability on it.

Among others, the function was attended by renowned academicians, industrial professionals, business community, artists and a large number of students from the CASHT campuses and other colleges.
