students in day secondary schools pay next to nothing in terms of fees, why we never see this is astounding - secondary education can easily be free and universally accessible if only we put aside our selfish desires.


This is a great point.

I noted in my travels that countries like Canada, UK, US etc where secondary school is free have very few boarding schools. Children mostly learn from home all through. The few boarding facilities are known and are largely elitist.

This obsession with boarding schools is what is killing our ability to provide quality free education. Yet a dormitory adds nothing but a bed and some relief for stressed parents.


That is the point.

The biggest challenge is that in an attempt to appease parents, the govt prescribes school fees which is too low making it totally unrealistic.

The govt should just shallow the bullet and admit that the cost of living has gone over the roof and prescribe realistic and unpretentious school fees.
