Respect for elders

Letter July 27, 2019
I fail to comprehend the present education system that has failed to encourage time-honoured moral habits

PESHAWAR: I feel pained to see that the young generation is gradually failing to give respect to the old and elderly. I fail to comprehend the present education system that has failed to encourage time-honoured moral habits in young boys and girls. Up until recent past this was not the situation. Whenever young people came across their elders they greeted them respectfully. Not anymore.
