Dubai 003

The education system in entire U.A.E. stinks! The kids have no zeal, curiosity, and enthusiasm to be informed about the world that unfolds myriads of its colours each day. I am tempted to blame the hollowed institutions of learning in this part of the world… as I would blame the society and the parents! Most that is taught in the institutes of higher learning is what really should have been imparted to them at secondary level. There is no intellectual discourse, no introspection; retrospectives are conspicuous by its absence.

Dilution of all intellectual needs amongst the younger generations is a disturbing trend that this young promising nation will have to contend with. It is this lot of intellectually challenged generation-next that will, sooner or later, be weaving the fabric called society, polity, and commerce. A frightening thought!
