    Pretty much yeah.

    When the kids weren’t passing, instead of trying to improve their circumstances and enable them to learn more successfully as well as up skilling the teachers, their solution was to lower the pass mark. This went on for years until the pass mark got to the 30% it is today.

    Then again, my Zimbabwean friend always reminds me of the time that the students were given a text book that was a year or two behind, and in protest they burned them all. There also needs to be a certain desire to learn and better yourself. There are also those who walk 1h+ to school and back every day in the sweltering heat, pouring rain and sometimes through rivers.

    The priorities of the government are really only to enrich themselves and keep the populous uneducated so that their propaganda works on them.

    I love my country but holy fuck, shits fucked back home.
