Our politicians are myopic and out to maximise visible, short-term gains.
CHANTILLY, VA, US: This is with reference to Humayun Akhtar Khan’s article of October 5 titled “Reforming our education system”.
I think the problem is that education is a long-term investment whose fruits are only evident after many years. Our politicians are myopic and out to maximise visible, short-term gains. Even then the job they do is pretty woeful. And now with education transferred to the provinces with their limited technical and absorptive capacity, we just threw the baby out with the bath water.
