Education is the right of each and every individual of the nation; however it has become a dream of the slum
KARACHI: Pakistan is a developing country where many young souls are deprived of education, because of the fact that their main aim is to obtain the basic necessities of life.
It’s difficult for those parents who want their children to attain good education but are unable to fulfill their desires because they lack resources.
Education is the right of each and every individual of the nation; however it has become a dream of the slum. The affluent classes spend a huge amount of money in the name of giving quality education to their children. They should spare some money for those unfortunate millions of poor people in our country. They can help them towards the betterment of the state. Similarly, I want to request the management of schools to stop focusing on earning money and educate those children who have the potential but they are unable to do so as their first priority is to get bread, clothing and shelter.
I request the government to collect funds for poor children. It should allocate a large share of treasury for education and should also modernise government schools and make them good enough for students to receive quality education with dignity.
