According to him, this will bridge the gap between academia and industry and help sustain the relevance of the education offered by academic institutions by enabling students and faculty to translate theory into practice. “It is unacceptable for university students to be examined using multiple-choice questions, which leave absolutely no room for critical thinking or creativity. It is unacceptable for lecturers to be reading out notes in class. Otherwise, you will continue to breed students who grow and make a virtue out of their errors,” he added.
