In UK, they value the exposure and the practical lessons taught. the profs trust their masters/ PHD programme's students so much that they can let them handle summer practical programmes for the juniors without he/she having the need to step into the class. the PHD students managed the programme so well that they were at the point to us equivalent to a prof. our local uni need to improve. we cant just purely depend on results and at the end when out to industry, all start to break.
