Will govt fulfil the dream?
I was imagining this scenario: My sons and daughters have stopped going to their private tutors and started to rise early in the morning to say their prayers peacefully without the thought of the tutors chasing them at that pristine time. After the prayer they are reading religious books to recharge themselves morally. Then they are reading that day's daily newspaper to keep themselves informed of the happenings from home and abroad. Before going to school, they are reading textbooks so that they can properly understand the topics to be taught by the teachers. In the afternoon, they would play with their friends. No more huffing and puffing because they need not go to the private tutors'. Besides that, parents would be spared the tension and expenses that private tuition entails.
The present government policy against the coaching business run by the teachers induced me to dream this dream. I wonder whether my dream will be stolen by the sinister syndicate of teachers going against this policy and the government treating the errant teachers with kid gloves without thinking about the greater interest of the nation.
