In-Depth Information
manpower that a tech company can recruit and students graduating from university
are unaware of the skills that they should have to get employed. This leads to un-
employment even when there are job vacancies. The less skilled manpower ends up
getting low paid jobs even with good grades.
To address this burning issue we are working to create an environment for student-
industry tie up where both can interact to know each other's need. Hopefully some
students will get internship in their future jobs. We have successfully created a
strong network in all the engineering colleges and Universities of Nepal and its time
to expand into industries and beyond boarders.
Conclusions
Education can and has changed the world. Development of a country can only
be achieved if youths are well educated. Traditional teaching methods should be
improved to educate today's youth. Current education system must give equal
importance to practical as theory.
The teaching experience and learning experience can be made effective with hands
on methods that allow students to make something and process given information.
Modern teaching methods should be introduced in classes with trained teacher and
tools to make learning more interactive.
The robotics workshop that RAN has started is just a beginning and there are lots
of works to be done. This has created an impact in small magnitude but if replicated
nationwide, it can make greater impact in education. We are seeking support from
national and international organization to scale these workshops.
