Parents should ensure their children focus on their studies and as a society
LAHORE: Education plays a very important part in our lives. When we are educated, we are empowered and are able to control any sort of situation that may arise. With our knowledge and skills, we can overpower any setbacks we may face and come out victorious in the face of any challenges life may send our way.
However, I have observed that the younger generation does not focus on their studies as much as they should. They are distracted by the presence of technological gadgets, and waste their time either online on social media, playing video games or by spending time with their friends without working on anything constructive.
This is a source of great worry for the parents and also for our society. Our younger generation is not vested enough in education, and hence cannot progress. This will eventually lead to the decline of our society as the young ones do not possess the power of critical thinking and therefore cannot contribute to society in an intellectual manner.
Parents should ensure their children focus on their studies and as a society, we must grasp the importance of education, as only then will we be able to succeed.
