We need to reset our priorities (Part Two)

The public-sector schools for the lower and the lower middle class mostly offer Matriculation.

These institutions are mostly in a neglected and ruined state and students aren’t even facilitated with basic necessities including books, furniture and in some cases clean drinking water.

With sorry to say that the teachers in public sector schools come just for killing time and are focused upon their income instead of performing their basic responsibilities.

Students should be entitled to great care, security and a good nurture. At the young age, they should be treated with respect and love, but here they received inhumane punishments and humiliating treatment.

This mismanagement in public-sector institutions have caused the children of the ones with a lower budget to lack behind in terms of education.

On the other hand, the Cambridge system is apparently for the elite class. The elite lot thinks of nothing less than famous privately owned institutions, which teach the curriculum of Cambridge.

The students aren’t given strenuous punishments in such school, but are treated as ‘lords’. In some cases, the children become arrogant and give less importance to studies, which is a great cause of this dilemma.

As mentioned earlier, education is everything for a country to survive and to progress. Therefore, education should be available to everyone on equal bases.

Instead of introducing new and ostentatious programs, we must improve the standard of education and must standardize the present infrastructure. The children of servants and the leaders should have similar facilities.

Most importantly, we should develop a single education system, and the teachers should be hired for their teaching skills and not their references from influential people. Showing love and affection, the teachers should treat the children as their own.

The need of the hour is to promote education and improve its standards across the country. Surely, we have the capacity to beat the developed and even the so called super powers, if given opportunities.
