Panelists share views at webinar on liberal education hosted by The Hindu jointly with Sai University
Indian higher education should develop students with an ability to be curious, question everything, be articulate, and able to solve problems proactively. At a webinar on liberal education hosted by The Hindu jointly with Sai University on Friday, panelists pointed out that the traditional system of acquiring knowledge did not hold meaning any more. Instead, candidates with skills such as being able to communicate clearly and offer solutions to problems, will be much in demand in future. Infosys founder N. R. Narayana Murthy believes that liberal education enhances curiosity, improves ability to think critically and independently, and could be a force in solving the problems of our society. He suggested an education model that can provide curiosity, critical thinking, and proactive problem solving.More Related News
