Mahatma Gandhi's "Nai Talim" (New Education) [1] placed prominent importance on working with hands. When I first visited the US, I was really impressed by the number of people who undertook DIY projects, and knew woodworking etc. I also think that the importance that Germany pays to vocational training is one of the leading reasons for their engineering dominance. Maybe it is time to remember the great man's ideas during his 150th anniversary and put it into wider practice. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nai_Talim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nai_Talim
