Prioritise Student Skills, Not University Rankings

Teaching and learning sessions are allowed to be ridiculously "flexible" with limited meaningful teacher-student communication. At times, the students only read the lecture slides, with almost no lectures given to allow time for their lecturers to complete more pressing KPIs. Without providing students with the fundamentals, they are often asked to do things primarily by themselves. They are constantly reminded that "this is the way you learn in university, no one will spoon-feed you here like when you were in school". Worse, these students become another tool to achieve the universities' agenda. They are asked to churn out papers and publications by including their lecturers' names to prop up the universities' publication rankings.
