Applying for state teacher post

Through this column I would like to express the disappointment that was felt by myself and my family.

We realize that the condition of our country is not very favorable, which involves almost all aspects of life, including education. When it comes to improving the quality of education, one thing should be considered. Teachers must be selected fairly and honestly.

I realize how difficult it is to be a state teacher in this beloved country. My elder brother has applied to become a state teacher several times, but to no avail. And until now he still teaches at a private school. On the other hand, someone who had just graduated from college was accepted as a state teacher. How come?

I hope in this reform era there will be no more corruption, collusion and nepotism in the national education ministry.
