Have you noticed that people who just watch how things are done Practically on YouTube even end up with better understanding of the Subject area and practicalise it better

Those are the deficiencies of our academic sector that we are trying to look for ways to make up for. Abroad they don't watch it on YouTube alone, they see it done in THEIR CLASS and they get to try it out themselves too!! That's what education should be: hands-on training, not books-on cramming

Simply because our schools are not equipped with the necessary equipment and machines to study engineering in real life. You can not teach engineering as if you are teaching History and English language or Archeology and expect the students to be as bright and happy as those that studied in Cambridge with all the equipment you can think of. Why do you think ASUU is on strike till now? The government is not concerned about the wellbeing of the students and their lecturers. They are not interested in equipping our labs and making learning interesting. Students are now left to cram and pour, pass exam and go with no single practical experience of what they studied. It's very boring, very depressing and very difficult.
