"Our educational system leans heavily towards academics and learning by rote, leaving little room for initiative. I fear this may produce a set of graduates who are unable to think outside the box and who struggle with problem solving in real life. We are producing graduates who may not have skills such as creative problem solving, adaptability and initiative."
