We all know Education is the fundamental and key factor for one's personal development. Without education a person becomes of no use. The history has become proof that whatever the consequences education is the key factor so till now education is given utmost priority and we believe will be given the same priority in the present situation and future as it was given in past.
Many of us think that to take education one must attend educational institution but that's not all a true statement. Somehow educational institution may be a basic need to gain knowledge but we are all living in 21st century. We don't have to go to school as our parent's described how they went to school by crossing big forests and river with Shark or Piranha.
The situation has given us a time to change the story that our parent's say to us. Now we can create a new story to our future generation. I will say my child that your father went school through Internet staying at home, you know how difficult is it to attend school by going online? You have to go through different levels of signing up in different software/applications and then travel through different IP addresses and various layers of WWW then our teacher will accept our request to join classes and then we finally join our class. You know it took just some minutes. Thank God then we finally attend our class. Can you know what a difficult time it was?
How many will pass this difficult education struggle to your future generation? Let us know in the comment section.
