Is education failing youths?

MY observations about school discipline in the ’70s to late ’90s and in the early ’20s up to
now in Papua New Guinea are like this.
During the colonial era up to the ’70s and to the early ’90s, schools in our country were run by expatriates, and discipline was tough and as a result
the students were well disciplined and acquired quality education.
Over the years, those well-disciplined students moved on to become top politicians, lawyers, doctors, pilots, accountants, etc, in our country.
However, almost all we see, hear or read about them nowadays is related to corruption, misappropriation of public funds, white collar crimes and so on.
If the well-disciplined students of the late ’70s to the ’90s are corrupt, we can be sure that today’s students have a future which is dull and uncertain.
So how are we going to address these issues and try to create a better and brighter future for our children in accordance with our Vision 2050 goals?
