The chaos in our schools is a glaring reflection of our societal principles regarding behaviour and standards. Education is extremely broad and this learning process is where we acquire knowledge, skills, values and even routine behaviour. However, too many youths have not benefitted from this privilege.
The truly underpinning matter is that one can be academically successful but possess little or no passion whilst performing one's job, as the whole idea was to get certified so you can earn more money, not necessarily to contribute to the country or to help fellow citizens.
When the concept of education is given this limited scope, the essence is lost, so the approach must be on developing a citizen of a mental and moral quality distinctive and uplifting to our people.
