Education system needs reform

It is the duty of the government of a civilised country that the children have a very good primary education.

There is no guarantee that the children will continue on to secondary school or third level, so it is important that when they leave school at post-primary level they have sufficient skills.

For years there have been reports of the high percentage of primary school-leavers who are almost completely devoid of these skills. Teachers’ unions complain that there is a shortage of teachers.
