Education is important

We can see the physical results of development over the past 50 years: high-rise buildings, overpasses, bridges, etc.

Unfortunately, government policies emphasize physical development. Non-physical things like education do not receive proper attention. As a result, our current educational system is totally ineffective. Many of our young students complain about the amount of work they have to do at school and home, and the inability of their teachers. In addition, parents often complain about the inability of their children to do their homework well, so that parents have to do it for their children.

It is time that the government improve our educational system. It should be made a priority because only with a good education can the younger generation build this country.
