We cannot build the nation and our future if we do not educate our people – all our people – to equip them to live in the modern world. At some point, the sooner the better, we have to confront the separate educational systems and their political context, and stop and reverse the deterioration of our educational standards.
We are all concerned about the growing social gaps in our society. Naturally we think of the gaps between the very top salaries and those at the bottom of the salary scale. Those trends too are worrying, and they are not easy to deal with, though improving the educational system will surely contribute to creating a more just society.
