Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry creativity entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.

Here class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes which they are tested on. What is missing it seems to me is the use of knowledge the practical training.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it.
