Is Higher Education only for the affluents??

Is Higher Education only for the affluents??

From the pages of reality in life, It is more or less predictable how much deprived the classes of people having no much solvency in life. It sounds worse that fundamental rights are only for those who have limitless wealth and muscle power. Shortly, it will not be wrongly saying that all basic rights to human being have been usurped by a class of people kicking out others on the sufferings que. However, before I put forward my words on the topic I must make it out the term “education” is for what? simply, what actually does it mean in simple and deep in meaning? I believe no one will disagree with me that education is an abstract power by which every nation can get the flash of being civilized in a very good manner. In another word, education is a torch, candle or beacon light which spreads light of civility, peace, creativity, humanity and so on through the inner heart of every human being. It is not limited to be defined within some sentences. Virtually, I understand education is  a spiritual force which can change the inner shell and understanding power of human being aiming to present  a civilized nation and to be the same. There are many definition on it. But in fact, I feel shame not to be able to understand the way most people run after acquiring so called bookish knowledge of education. We need to bring to book to those who do not know the actual need of education and optimum goal of it. It can affirmly be pointed out that education is aimed at for a better life and square nation. It had, has and will have the necessity in this world. Honestly saying, we feel proud to forget the real target of education. We do not step forward to know all about the real target and aim of education. But sometimes we sound and drum that we should do this or that etc.

To me, in real sense, the target of education is to understand how to win the poverty and find the ways to fit in this world. Almost people may attempt to refute my statement. But in fact, education without having moral lesson cannot play any positive role in fabrication of society and nation. Despite this, education lacking moral lesson is in full swing in most part of the Country and world. Discriminatory education which has been marching on must have to be tweaked in no time. Education system must have uniqueness. Through discriminatory education, many extra ordinary talented students become deprived of from the quality education. Now, I had better talk about higher education in home and abroad. It is very unfortunate that because of getting birth in a rich family a student having no noticeable talency can usually be able enough to get the higher education windows opened for him whereas a struggle some pupil with enormous creativity cannot even think and dream to be educated highly in their opted educational institution.  As a result, poor but talents get stockpiled with the race of affluent family’s Students.

Acquiring higher education scope should not only be easier for the rich but also for the poor. I think and believe there are countless students who cannot afford their higher educational expenses. On the other hand, drug addicted rich family background students can do whatever they wish, even they can go abroad wherever they want. We are in a same sovereign country, but why the affluent students will get the higher education scope more than the comparatively more brilliant poor students. With the force of money, some students buy certificate(s) nothing more than this.

In the significant and responsible position, we no longer see the qualified and talented people rather rich and influential people can easily manage to hold such positions. The fate of the Country cries    silently. In fact, it is very much true that struggled meritorious are more creative, practical to life and potential.

We will be discussing on the matter and wrapping it up, without finding the way to develop and change the ill fated poor students of the land. In different countries of the World, interest free education loan is available for the students. Discrimination in education is hardly found there. So, Our Government and concern authority have responsibility to ensure higher education scope for all. Government has to take up the responsibility to afford all higher educational expenses for all poor students. Also Govt. can form educational foundation for supporting the poor and unprivileged students in order to ensure their higher education. We all conscious citizens have also duty and responsibility to look into the issue. Actually, a nation can be powered over by poverty or any hindrance for acquiring education, it is very much unfortunate. We can, need and should stand against this discriminatory system of education.
