EDUCATION

Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think. 

 Albert Einstein

I totally agree with the quote "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think" by Albert Einstein. By being a university lecturer by profession I need to be thorough about the knowledge areas that I teach. Students should learn facts so that the students will be capable of thinking beyond and to innovate. It is mandatory for a lecturer to stay current and update their knowledge and skills. 

To achieve this goal I pursue my higher studies now. I am holding two degrees and still counting.
