Giving Students The Right Skills
I am in the process of responding to a comment about “Why I support Free and Open Source Technologies”. Luckily for me The Star just released an article on “Giving students the right skills“.
FOSS give us just that.
“We will also seek recommendations from the private sector on what to include in the curriculum, so that we can equip students with the knowledge and skills that are needed,” Abdullah said.
Does anyone know where I can send my recommendations?
The Government also wants more collaboration between universities and the private sector in research and development.
Which FOSS does achieve, and does it really well. FOSS helps to bridge the digital divide. It helps in the transfer of technology and knowledge.
I will still finish up the reply though, so just hold on.
