Education should be practical, providing hands-on learning that makes them proficient. We will learn, become practical, gain work skills, and establish ourselves as professionals, whether as employees, entrepreneurs, or in other professions.” “Studying is necessary, but we should not remain silent, ineffective, or collapsed after gaining an education. We will make ourselves capable to establish our position in the market. Combining knowledge, training, and technology, students need to be prepared to sustain themselves”, he also added.
