Edu must prepare students to face real-life situations: Lokpal

Lokpal Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose on Monday said that education must prepare students to face real-life situations.

Ghose, while delivering a lecture at a private university here, described education as a holistic process and said that people learn not only to get a job but to "illuminate" themselves with what they have learned.

"Education is about hands-on learning, gaining practical knowledge and equipping one to use intelligence and capabilities to face real-life situations," chairperson of the anti-corruption ombudsman said.

Quoting Swami Vivekananda, he said, "Education is manifestation of perfection in man."
