14. Education and The Politics of Shaming
Thu Nov 29, 2012, 12:27 AM
Nov 2012

A very important topic has been discussed in this post concerning the teachers, the education system and its blend with politics leading to corruption. According to me, public education system is really strained, and in this post a point has been put across that the oppression is not merely all about the poor working conditions or low pay but has assumed proportions of a crying shame. And I agree with *Demoralization of Teachers*, that despite all these happenings, the schools are succeeding and the teachers are continuing with their jobs.
