At this point, broken promises are a prerequisite to making a good politician. Though, it seems this year, we are not taking it as well as previous years – and that is genuinely shocking to our dear rule-makers.
For myself, I am just tired of the minister of education flipflopping on their promises. One day the education is our top priority and the next, it’s okay if schools are a hotspot for COVID-19. Part of me wonders how the government is capable of blatantly ignoring their own statistics to justify putting their youth and educators at risk.
I understand there is a priority list and the most vulnerable deserve to be vaccinated early in the game but I hope they will soon start to consider the vitality of education. After all, you cannot preach that education is the lifeline of society but ignore their distress signals.
