Addressing the students of Maharaja Sayajirao University and Prince Ashokraje Gaekwad School at two separate functions here last night, Kalam said, "It is not the great building or a great facility or great advertisements which give quality, but loveable education and great teachers do."
"Education at the primary level has to be delivered in an integrated way by great teachers through great syllabus and by promoting affinity between parents, students and teachers. It cannot be business product or system," he said.
He suggested educational institutions to introduce cutting edge technologies for enabling the students to make faster progress in their learning process.
Capacity building through education will enable students to deal with the real world, particularly to grow in their professional career and participate in the national development, he said.
Research creativity, innovation, ability to use high technology, entrepreneurial leadership, and moral leadership capacities are to be built up among students in their formative years by educational institutions for their participation in nation building tasks, Kalam said.
"If we develop in all our students these five capacities, we will produce 'Autonomous Learner' a self-directed, self controlled, lifelong learner who will have the capacity to both respect authority and at the same time is capable of questioning authority, in an appropriate manner," he said.
