Over the years, education has been so mechanical, theoretical, and hectic. It's the reasonmany teachers are unmotivated to teach, and students are tired of studying. To a teacher,the job of teaching is a labour. They would have to do the manual routine of writing notes onthe board for students to copy, mark exercises with their usual red pens, and giveassignments which are rarely assessed.

On the part of students, there's absolutely nothing inspiring about the learning experience.They go through the hustle of copying notes, buying handouts often at very exorbitantprices, and delivering of assignments that are barely assessed. But this mustn't be thecase especially in today's technological advancement. There's so much breakthrough intechnology that it's almost unforgivable for teachers to keep teaching with the traditionalmethods of teaching.
