Why do our kids need to struggle to get every single opportunity in this country?

By: Padma Narayanan

 

Last year we fought for SPM Top Achievers to get matriculation. This year the same kids came back with CGPA 

4.0 despite entering two months later but failed to get what they dreamed or worked hard for. All they want is 

medicine. Its a bitter and painful truth that many of their friends with lower grades got it, but they didnt. Brush 

aside the argument that medicine has no future and so on. See this issue as "denied opportunity" for deserved 

students. We want our kids to excel in education. Where would these kids from average and poor family 

backgroubd will go to fulfill their dream at cheaper cost, if they were not given place in IPTA to do what they want!
