I teach in a rural school where the presence of government doesn't exist. No electricity, pipe borne water, infrastructures, and increase of salary. My students practically sit on the floor due to lack of chairs. Almost all the parents of my students are subsistence farmers that cannot afford to feed their families. Most of these student have never seen or touched a computer or a smart phone in there entire life. But the truth is that some of them are extraordinarily brilliant. I have always advised them that immediately they finish their secondary school education they should learn a vocational or technical skill. Learning skills like fashion design, automobile mechanic,furniture making, plumbing, or even business can help them to earn a living and some can further their education because their parents cannot afford the cost of university education. I been in that rural school for about 7 years now and I can attest to the fact that most of them today are now financially independent. Some of them have their own workshops, businesses and some are sponsoring themselves in the university from their trade. Currently my student are my car mechanic, tailor and barber. The government is not interested in alleviating the suffering of the masses or improving the educational system. Rather everyday they enrich themselves and send their children to the best school abroad. They want there children to take their positions and keep enslaving the people. Any citizen that depends on the government of my country would be frustrated and might commit suicide due to depression.
