THE TRUE STATE OF SCHOOL EDUCATION

It was really shocking to learn about the stampede in a government school in Khazoori Khas and the subsequent deaths of a few innocent children that followed in the aftermath.Rather than announce a few thousand rupees as compensation and wash their hands off the matter our policy makers should hang their heads in shame over the fact that the state of government schools even in the national capital is in shambles and children are not even receiving the basic conducive environment for receiving education.The visuals shown by the television channels were very disturbing specially the pictures showing the complete waterlogging of the school compound by normal rain.The shameless administration was comforting itself with the fact the school building did not collapse.If our ministers can stay in five star comfort at the tax payers expense even for pettty work then do not the country's future deserve basic sound infrastructure and committed teachers to enable them to realise their dreams?
IT IS TIME FOR DEEP INTROSPECTION AND DRASTIC ACTION AGAINST THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MESS.
