I believe that education must follow a specific path synchronized with market needs. Bridging the gap between academia and industry plays a vital role. I believe in four effective learning models in academia:  

Hands-on learning provides an opportunity for students to create something on their own.  

Collaborative projects give students the chance to work with one another toward a common goal.  

Experiential learning gives students the chance to apply the classroom lessons to a practical application can be an exciting and rewarding experience, and  

Direct instruction helps students know and understand the contents better and get a chance to share their opinions with each other and the instructor.  

I believe in this quote from Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
