Education and vocational training

Syed Muhammed Azim, Chittagong
This is in response to the write up of Mr. Avik Dasgupta. I think he rightly portrayed the flaws in our education system. It needs a complete overhaul, incorporating curricula based on practical approach. Moreover, we need more & more vocational training institutes so that students who drop out after their primary education can enrol themselves in those institutes & build their capacity and certain skills that match the jobs currently in demand in foreign countries. This will reduce the sufferings of our unskilled workers abroad. This deserves a closer look from the authorities concerned.
