You do not have to be very circumspect before calling someone a bad teacher in my country; as opposed to how difficult it is to find a good one though. In all fairness, having a good education encompasses a lot more than just having competent pedagogues. The whole curriculum starting from elementary school in Peru for instance has to be changed. In fact, courses such as English and most sciences except for Math are poorly considered by most schools. Not only do learning at public schools in Lima disappoints, but also at Universities. There are only a few exceptions which are mainly private of course. Is it discouraging for students to find most of their classes boring? Indeed it is. Nonetheless, there is more to it than that. You see, people nowadays also complain about the fact that learners waste a lot of time in college for example taking useless courses even after the first two years of tuition. In so doing, student mainly quit and look for quicker ways to improve their skills. Thus, lowering their chances of getting better opportunities. As crappy as the majority of colleges may be here. People need their degrees so as to get good jobs. Still and all, Peru does not seem to be the only country on earth with a deplorable educational system. Many other nations struggle with the same issue. Some changes have been made here for the time being. Such as handing out scholarships for poor students from the highlands to study in Lima. Albeit, decentralizing the country would make a lot more sense. Is getting a decent education going out of favour nowadays? Well, in most nations in may appear so. Not only is the problem spreading among underdeveloped nations, but also in the first world. Hence, we do not need more politicians who have got the gift of the gab. Instead we need to take action. Most attempts of the central government to improve the quality of schooling our children receive has missed the mark on account of the following: Money. Most prestigious teachers are getting more rapacious than ever. Consequently, they get used to applying for scholarships to teach abroad or whatnot seems a lot more encouraging for them. For all intents and purposes, our views and the decisions we make regarding teaching have to change. Be that as it may, how much is that change going to set the authorities back? And better yet. Is such an upturn ever going to happen? As long as people here do not come to grips with our current situation, nothing will ever improve. In order to get our system off the ground, people cannot wait for the government to devolve responsibilities on them. Initiatives must be taken by students and educators alike. Peaceful protests, requests to the authorities, among other things must be made so as to let the authorities know what they are doing is wrong.
