Imagine 2 kids; an "average" rich kid, and a "gifted" poor kid. The rich kid, although not gifted, receives the best kinds of nurturing that ups his intelligence. While the poor kid, although gifted, is not exposed to formal nurturing like, won't have his Intelligence honed.
Now, imagine if all opportunities and privileges are somewhat equally provided to all children across the world. How many gifted people will we discover in the slumps? How many nurtured minds will we have that can save our future?
EDUCATION is a must and a right. However, the best goal for a countries educational system is for it to be Free, Appropriate and of quality. smh
Side note. I believe in ceasing education for "ranks" or "grades" this pandemic. In contrary, learning should never stop and students should still seek learning but not for grade acceleration purposes.
Indeed. This is why the new normal education should be stopped. It obviously for privileged people only. People living in slumps cannot cope and adapt to the current educational requirements.
Department of education is just only making the problem worse.
