Students are just achieving degrees, not skills, said Professor Ramdev Bharadwaj, Vice Chancellor of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi University.
He was addressing a seminar at Sanchi University on Tuesday. The seminar was organised in the memeory of Sunanda Shastri.
Professor Ramdev Bharadwaj said that due to the present education system, continuous mobility of unemployed is increasing. He said that due to this education system, students are getting degree only; they are not able to acquire skills.
Prof Bharadwaj said that the process of Indian education system being run by the ancient times is destroying the present system of education, which is going to end the guru-shishya tradition soon. In the Guru-shishya tradition, students were nurtured with skills. Prof. Bharadwaj said that the trust between the teacher and the student is not built in the present education system.
Education is now based on information only, the basis of learning is not there, which is causing disorientation between the teacher and the student, he added. He said that it is easy to become a teacher in today's era but it is difficult to take responsibility for teaching.
The Vice-Chancellor of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi University, on the subject of teacher and student, said that through five sources it can be improved i.e. faith, patience, discipline, direction and dialogue.
In this seminar Vice Chancellor of Sanchi University Prof. Yagneshwar S Shastri said that the teacher's attributes are transferred to the students. Student is actually a teacher's shadow and it is related to values. The teaching environment can be transformed into learning through the teacher's vibrancy. Professor Sunanda was former Dean of Sanchi University.
