The
Blog was first published on May 1st, 2019. The idea for writing blog
that time came from the prevalent lack of commitment for teaching and learning methodology
that has become the trend in almost all teaching institutions in the country.
Strangely and accidentally the idea is a reality today due to CORONA pandemic. Most institutions are following “Online” education and are awarding degrees without completing the basic need of realistic teaching. Since Universities / Institutes have already started distributing online degrees, the CONCEPT expressed in the blog could be made a PERMANENT reality?
Concerned students and parents may react either way but must react for the sake of their FUTURE.
