Have you ever wondered why University fees are rising despite the greater supply and falling demand?
Have you ever wondered if your children’s educators have been certified to teach?
Have you ever wondered if student advisors in school or college have ever worked in the industry?
Have you ever wondered if University & College professors teaching business have ever been in business?
Have you ever wondered why Entrepreneurship is being taught by ‘non-entrepreneurs’ in Universities?
Have you ever wondered if you are managing your career or is your career managing you?
Have you ever wondered if educators and/or trainers are asked to deliver sample teaching before they are being hired?
Have you ever wondered if University Professors are being appraised by anyone?
Have you ever wondered why University degrees don’t teach soft skills which – according to a number of studies – are the most critical skills for graduates?
Have you ever wondered how many students (and parents) focus on getting “in” the University and not on focusing on the topic of interest and quality of programme?
Did you even wonder why a college degree is not a ‘prize’ anymore (or at least at the level of prize it used to be)?
