The rapid increase in the number of educational institutions in the country is not necessarily translating to improved quality of education. This discrepancy arises from several factors. Firstly, many new institutions prioritize quantity over quality, focusing on enrolling more students rather than ensuring high educational standards. This leads to overcrowded classrooms and strained resources, which hampers effective teaching and learning.
Secondly, there is often a lack of qualified and experienced faculty in these institutions. With the surge in new colleges and universities, the demand for teachers has increased, but the supply of well-trained educators has not kept pace. Consequently, institutions may hire underqualified staff, resulting in subpar instruction.
Additionally, the curriculum in many institutions is outdated and not aligned with current industry requirements. This gap between academia and industry means that students are often not equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the job market.
Furthermore, inadequate infrastructure and resources, such as libraries, laboratories, and technological tools, also contribute to the declining quality of education. Without access to essential learning materials and facilities, students’ academic growth is severely hindered.
To address these issues, it is crucial to implement stricter regulations on the establishment of new institutions, ensure continuous faculty development, update curricula regularly, and invest in infrastructure improvements.

Empathy indeed plays a major role while you are trying to help someone to deal with their own emotions as therapists. Therapy requires communicating a deep understanding and form a personal connection with your patient and empathy allows you to do so. Empathy and acceptance promote breaking isolation, validation, self-strengthening, and self-acceptance.
In my view holding enough empathy and kindness for your future patients where you can listen to them without any judgment and provide a safe space for them to be themselves and detangle their emotions and process them is enough.
While you are at it, please understand you are trailing a slightly dangerous territory here. Where lack of empathy can make you critical and in turn makes you ineffective as a therapist, being overly empathetic will do the same.
While practicing empathy and forming a close connection with you patient lines between your own emotions and your patient’s might start to get a little blur that is why it is important to remain objective and maintain professional boundaries. You shouldn’t get caught up in your patient’s emotions.
Hence it can be concluded that empathy is one of the most integral qualities that a therapist should possess. And providing a space where the patient can feel connected and accepted enough to work through his/her emotions should be the objective empathy should fulfill. Other than that, therapist should not take empathy overboard and should maintain professional boundaries and remain objective.
