PHAGWARA (PB): Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu Monday said the country’s education system needed a “complete overhaul” as it was producing students with degrees instead of individuals with critical minds and employable skills.
Emphasising on restoring India as the prime destination of quality higher education, Naidu said the number of educational institutions must increase to cater to the growing demand of students who want to pursue higher education.
Naidu also asked private universities to earmark certain percentage of seats for students belonging to the poor section as quality private sector education has become out of bounds for marginalised sections.
“Majority of our colleges have become mere breeding centres for producing students with degree certificates rather than individuals with critical analytical skills and innovative thinking,” Naidu said while addressing the convocation of Lovely Professional University here. (AGENCIES)
