Education for all

Education, once considered the key to success, now feels like a luxury that only a few can afford. The skyrocketing cost of education has become a bitter pill to swallow for most of us. Parents are burning the midnight oil to make ends meet, yet many are unable to bear the rising expenses of school fees and other necessities. For middle-class families, providing their children with a quality education feels like squeezing water from a stone. Education is the backbone of a nation. The government must step in to control these escalating costs by introducing affordable education policies and providing scholarships for deserving students. It is time we level the playing field and ensure that no child is left behind because their family cannot foot the bill for their education.
