Lagging training in social skills

  • Neglected social skills training
  • Marginal grooming skills

Training in social skills lags behind social needs. Formal, informal and non-formal educational structures fail to equip people with effective skills to cope with society as it is. Old unusable skills are taught, giving unnecessary skills to individuals who must function in times of rapid change.
