Long life learning and alumni

Teaching at the university not just to produce graduates and learning at a the university not just to earn the degree and get the job. It is beyond that. University in tertiary level of education and usually the students specialised in specific field which helping them to be a professionals.
Unfortunately the culture now still not fulfil the criteria of the university. Probably our university just like a technical college to train unqualified people or those do not have opportunity to get a place in the university. In addition to that our university administered like a factory to produce graduates similar to electrical goods. The students produced similar to robot with a specific programmed in it and ready to reformat when that are outside. The professors in the university similar to the supervisors in the factories.
What we expected that the students after graduated refer back to the university for life long learning or to improve the knowledge. If what we are practice now the CEO in the private sectors or head in the government agencies or may be the politicians are better than the professors. The robots that we produced in the university will be reformatted to suit their agencies.
No wonder now we found that the ex students do not remember their former lecturer. May be the education system now make the teachers, lecturers or the professors are not respected anymore by the public includingnthe students. WHY? Something need to be done in the university so that the lecturers are no longer acting like stamps dispatching officers but to show that the lecturers are not just teaching but the knowledge provider, human capital developer and sources of references or reference centre. That's why we need to do research.
