Education: The people’s project

Tragically, without any scrutiny, the parents were sold the lie and they bought it hook, line and sinker. Consequently, parents sat comfortably in the background and watched from a distance as the rulers ran the show - mapping the future of their children. Few people, if any, saw anything untoward about this arrangement of shifting responsibility.

From a poverty point of view, it was economically expedient for parents to transfer to the governments the financial burden of educating their children. But there was a price to pay, which was, giving away the control of what goes and cannot go into the curriculum .By design, the sponsors of education and training eyed a whole world to gain from their investments.
