Risky Business
Another reproduction of a short story I wrote as a student in Nepal-- this one as a 9th grader. I happen to have a copy of it because I still own a copy of the issue of the school magazine in which it was published!

Data: Nepal’s Education System Fails and Punishes Most Students
In 2009-10, when data for 2011 Census Report was collected, children in the last year of kindergarten, five-year olds, numbered 661K. The group completed their schooling -- grade 12 -- in 2022. Less than 10% made it through!
This blog looks how the totally corrupt and flawed education system does that and the consequence of that for a vast majority of the population.
How screwed up is the education system in Nepal?
Nepali education system is so screwed up, schooling does NOT prepare you adequately for externally assessed terminal examinations. Furthermore, each stage of schooling does NOT prepare you for the stage that follow either. Instead, it requires that you get outside help to prepare yourself and continue your academic career!
What's the point of such an education system?!

So, my question to you is, what is the argument for our continued survival on this planet?! For whom?! For what?!
