  4. Government seems to be forgetting that not everyone can afford to pay for their education, we are trying very hard as the youth to try and better our homes and country but we are getting no assistance. I sometimes wonder what the use of studying is if no one seems to show sympathy towards our education struggles, education should be free many people want to be at school but because of the financial problems they are prohibited from doing such.

    1. Yes right, I think government should intervene and assist those who cannot afford to pay their fees. I think these could also reduce the crime we are facing in our country because instate of youth committing crimes they can just invest their time in doing good things such as studying.

  6. one thing we should all understand is that in this world nothing comes easy and not every thing that is free is the best. I would like to believe that free education will always be our struggle, even the coming generation will be still fighting for free education.

    1. I agree with you, and since education is free I do not think is going to be easy for one to find employment after graduating.
