Our education systemin the country in some cases similar to here but in many casesdifferent also. In some parameter our education system is better butin many measures, we are far behind. For example, for theoreticalaspects of Silviculture, Forest Policy, Timber utilisation, probablywe knew better in our respective countries rather than here. But,practical aspects of Forest Inventory, Genetics, SoilSciences,Economics, we learnt many things here. Also, presentation,group tasks/assignments, opportunities found here is quite practicaland better here, that will certainly increase our motivation, workingattitudes and capacity in future.In these aspects, I would like to request you to share your views andopinions with the members of effortsforchange groups.For that I would like to request you to provide opinions concentratingmore on:
