Hey Trent! Yes, you bring up a very valid point. There are "training" and "vocational" centres in india but they are driven by people wanting to make money as opposed to providing genuine value.

And yes, the quality is terrible. They don't teach or imbibe skills but rather make you "rote" learn them so to say.

Also, why do we even need seperate institutions, why not include and prioritize all these in mainstream education itself.

All in all, thanks Trent for reading and taking the time out to write such an exhaustive and thoughtful response. Means a lot. Have a great day ahead man!
