An inalienable right

Education is a basic right that ought to be provided to the people. However, our private sector seems to have completely overlooked this fact. At this stage, most of our government schools are in a deplorable state and are in a desperate need of an overhaul. However, students continue to attend these institutions. This is primarily because the mounting fee structure of private schools serves as a disincentive for many parents to send their children to these schools.

The dearth of good schools and an efficient education system have made it difficult for many students to complete their higher education. This has increased crime rates and led to poverty and the improper exploitation of natural resources. The government should look into this problem because today’s learners are tomorrow’s leaders. Everyone should be provided with the opportunity to study and, consequently, earn a living.
