Answers about Education

[julianmclain99]

India has a relatively advanced education system in the region. India has a literacy rate of 74 percent which is better than Pakistan’s 57 percent but significantly less thanSri Lanka’s literacy rate of 92 percent. The lack of self-awareness, the total entitlement, the utter selfishness: when you stop to think about it he’s probably far more representative of modern British attitudes than his (comparatively) hard-working brother or father.

In India education is provided both through public and private means. While the standard of education in private schools is pretty high, the public sector schools are lacking in both quality of education and cross curricular reading comprehension worksheets facilities provided. How many of them will play their part in ridding the world of a true evil? How many will stand up for what’s good and search for tutors right, regardless of their own sacrifice? How many will still rise to their feet, two years shy of their 100th birthdays, to salute the marching band?

It’s not just that the few remaining veterans of the Second World War are very much in the twilight of their years, or that the woman who led that generation through their darkest hours with her parents – Queen Elizabeth II – is gone. And just as a reminder of the absolute agony he’s suffering, his tin-eared idiot of a wife posted a picture of him and their two children with their backs to the camera, enjoying their not-so-hard-earned ‘freedom’ in an idyllic garden.

They have little or no sense of national identity, ‘nation’ being a dirty word. They are far more interested in identity politics, such as trans issues and questions of race and so-called white privilege. The only thing they really seem to care about is how they come across on social media – a kind of ‘does my virtue look big in this?’ mentality. How they ever managed to go on to live anything even resembling a normal existence is a mystery to me. But somehow, they did. They knew the value of life, you see, understood how precious and precarious it is.

They had survived: they owed it to those who did not to keep going. There is more passion, more vitality, in someone like Joy Trew, 98, a great-grandmother from Bristol who served as a corporal in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, than in your average 18-year-old, sitting in their bedroom watching TikToks or feeling triggered because someone’s misgendered their cat. Yesterday, it finally admitted a ‘lapse’ in what it described as ‘our usual high editorial standards’ for failing to challenge the prince on his claim that he is the victim of a ‘good old-fashioned establishment stitch up’.

If only. These days the ‘establishment’ couldn’t be trusted to sew on a bloody button. And don’t get me wrong, it was wonderful to see so many people thronging the Mall, and all those street parties (in defiance of the gloomy weather). But for me, at any rate, the official celebrations were just tinged with… well, an inescapable sense of melancholy. This, let us not forget, is supposed to be a prince of the realm.
