That said, the “education problem” being a huge subject, we can only solve it by addressing small problems, one at a time, and the sum of all of these solutions may lead us to solving the bigger issue. For instance, one of the issues in higher education is that a teacher is either academic or professional; the former has a theoretical focus ― and does not teach students how to tackle real world problems based on what she teaches them ―, whereas the latter is more focused on practical applications ― and might not have the pedagogical tools or know-how. By tackling seemingly small problems like this one, we can hope to find small solutions; the sum of these puts us on the pathway to solving the bigger problem: how can we give tertiary students what they truly need to succeed in their post-graduation lives?</p>
