an area of study from by researches from the field of social sciences and law. The government must therefore finance the higher education of those who have a knack for research in their respective fields. Post graduate studies in any field of endeavor should solely be research based including research in the field of legal studies like reducing court delays and improving justice delivery system. The projects submitted under PG studies should depart from the basic principles of the field of study

Likewise a child excelling in English or sports may be encouraged to become a writer or sportsman respectively. The scope and ambit of job opportunities also need to be expanded than just encouraging the youth to pursue the traditional avocations of doctors, engineers or lawyers. It is only when there is harnessing of skills in all areas/spheres of activities, the progress of a nation is truly possible.

The task of evaluating a child's skills should be on the class teacher and based on his performance he can be guided to carve a career in the area of his skill. Forcing a child to pursue any avocation at the higher education level against his interest, will in the long run be counter-productive as it will downgrade efficiency. For example: If a child is performing exceptionally well in drawing he should be encouraged to become a painter.

Correction of a typing mistake on the first post on this topic: Hence developing skills at the higher education level is to an extent impractical. The word 'impractical' was inadvertently omitted.

After getting basic education up-to class VIII, a child should be given an opportunity to develop and harness his skills. The assessment of a child's skills should be based on his area of interest, performance in the subjects (academic performance) and inclination in the type of extra curricular activity in which he is participating. The higher school education (classes IX-XII) should be specialized based on the child's performance up-to class VIII.

Skills cannot be developed overnight and attaining mastery over one particular field requires constant learning and practice which requires complete dedication for years. Hence developing skills at the higher education level is to an extent. Skills should be developed in early school life and can further be shaped, harnessed and polished in higher education.
