After receiving all this load of information you may be asking yourself: How can I contribute to the solution of this huge problem?
First you have to realize that education is the basis of everything; the learning given to a person since they are kids can influence their whole life, and the people that surround them, we can say that they affect the whole world. With the help of a good education we can solve a lot of out actual problems; like poverty, corruption, diseases, and environmental issues, among others.
We know it is really hard to directly change the system and its way of educating people, since all these decisions are on the hands of the government and us as common citizens have no power over it.
In our country there have been a lot of problems, caused by education: people don’t want to change or learn new ways of doing things, and are too lazy to think; since that was the way they were taught they never question anything and are conformists.
The government is attempting to improve it, but their method only fix the problem in a superficial level; rather that fixing it from the very roots.
It is true that people make the Institution, not the other way around, the Institution can help to build you; what make you change is you and your capacities. In what we have the power of decision is in how we change ourselves, so we can be more viable for receiving education of quality:
We need to be responsible, and accept the duty and the fact that education is an investment in our future and the future of our country. It is no enough to go and heat a seat.
We have to take advantage of what we receive even if it is the least, because that builds our capacity of improving in life and in the school.
We need to have a positive attitude toward learning and teaching, because these are really powerful weapons. Weather being conformists or pessimistic can affect our performance
But please don’t go and help the “teachers” close Reforma street, that is not a good way of making a change.
