What future have we?

There is a big difference in the level of discipline we have in our schools now than that of the ’70s to late ’90s.
During the colonial era and up to the ’70s and early ’90s, schools in our country were run by expatriates, and discipline was really tough and as a result students were well disciplined acquired quality education.
Over the years, those well-disciplined students moved on to become politicians, lawyers, doctors, pilots, accountants, etc, in our country.
However, after having received their education under that life of discipline and moving on to be leaders, what do we see? We see corruption, misappropriation of public funds, white collar crime and so on.
If the well-disciplined students of the late ’70s to the ’90s have now become corrupt people holding public offices, what hope is there for the children of today?
Will they be better off or worse?
As Papua New Guineans, how can we address these issues to create a better and brighter future for our children and meet the goals of our Vision 2050?
