Why the
world need Malala?
Again in my mind it comes to me those scene
where pureness have its power, have its rule and its kingdom while I am
watching in TV the story about Malala. And again I realize how important it is
the role of the teacher. Looking at that girl who fight for the right to know,
the right to be educated a right that everyone should have. They suffer and
they suffer to learn, to be educated and to be feel equal like the other people
all over the world.
But while
there are people who fight to learn, to be educated and raise the voice to show
the world that something is wrong. While there are people who give up their
life to stop this we should not stay beyond this. Malala it is an encouragement
not only for the women. Every morning or every day where I see or hear that
something wrong, discriminated, unjust happen somewhere near to me or somewhere
in the world I say: “I have a dream.” And I think the world need every day a
Martin Luther king to show us that something is going wrong and we should
change this, we should raise our voice to say that this is wrong.
Every day I
say we need a Martin Luther king. But just in a normal class I heard about
Malala and her story was so touching. And I realize that we need a Malala. And
I will try to explain shortly why the world needs a Malala?
Having a
good education means decreasing the number of crime and saving humans life. It’s
been working hard that we increase the number of education but I guess it is
not work so hard to increase the good education. We are facing two problems in
education:
1. One that of Malala, where people have
to fight against the other, where the students put their life in dangerous
because they love to learn.
2. The problem of unqualified and bad
education
The first
one it is well know and many other people have talk so I am passing directly to
the second one. The second one is as worst as the first. Are we as a teacher doing our best? Are we
doing correctly our job today? Did we do the best to change something? I
thinking these are the question that every teacher should ask at the end of its
lectures. And we need a tape and listen to Malala speech before we start our
lesson. We should hear her speech to remember us that somebody fights against
the death to learn something and we are there with a big responsibility before
us.
I have noticed
some bad situations in education that we as a teacher should raise our voice
like Malala and I am going to explain shortly these problems that if we do not
work today tomorrow we may face consequences
Education as a business
The
education is not more an education as far as it is converted in business. It is
quite all right that somebody open a school and invest in this school and do
its own business but while he invested in education it should be invested in
qualified teaching and should be some standards that should be achieved. We
face teachers that prefer to be corrupted and to let themselves fall down in
the waters of a bad river. And the river
gets these “teacher” and God knows where
they will stop. Is this the figure of a teacher? Is this the role that the
teacher should perform. Wake up teachers! We should not let our self to go in
these rivers. While to some it might sound strange this fact believe me that it
is a problem that may be in the developed country we do not face but we face
every day in the countries that are not so much developed and not so powerful.
Malala where are you?
Unprofessional teachers
I know that
when you hear this you may lough, and you may be not believe it. While in some
country students like Malala are fighting to be educated imagine that this
fight to be for a teacher that it is just someone from the streets and have
nothing to do with education? Yes, I know it is unbelievable and maybe I am
crazy. This is why you are thinking while you may hear or read this but unfortunately
this is true story. Somewhere in this big or small world call it whatever you
like there is a person standing in front of the future generation and doing
nothing or may be teaching them not correctly. Malala where are you?
Politics in education
While I may
have connected this problem to the first one I choose to give a space even for
this problem. And you are asking what it is the relationship of politics in
education? Yes, you have right because there is nothing that connects the
politician with the teacher. But imagine for a second if you are away in may be
a country where the power of the government, the power of that MP, or the
teacher is “a great sympathy” for the government in the power? Oh, its look
like the scenario of a movie but it is true. Somewhere it is happening right
now and what are we doing? Malala where are you?
Bad condition of classes
I am sitting
here with my grandfather and he is telling me about the schools when he was a
teenager. Wait, is he speaking about the schools some years before, or too many
years before, or is he speaking about the situations that the schools in some
country are? I can’t make the difference so I am letting the difference in your
hand.
Image some
children have no sits to take the lesson and when it rains may be they enjoy
taking the lessons in the rain. I guess should be beautiful. Malala where are
you?
No possibilities
I am located
somewhere, may be near to you may be far, depends where are you. And I see a
family that the fate was not so nice with this family. I look around in their
house and oh there are no furniture but some antique stuff. And I guess this
should be a place reconstructed or maintained to remain us some years back of
us. But I am again wrong. I wish I weren’t. I see a child tired. He have not
been to school even it is a week day. He could not have the possibility to
smile together with his friends in his classroom. He could not go to school but
he remained in home helping his father. And I feel sorry about him. But ok I
did my job and my duty I felt sorry and I have my own business and I move
forward.
Oh wait here
it is another home. Here it is a young girl and she is carrying something
together with her mother. And I learned from them that the girl is helping her
mother and she cannot afford to pay for her school. To continue like her friend
did but she have to help her mother.
And I walk
more and I see some children together. They are small children. It is cold and
it is raining. I offer them help and they say that they have to pass a river to
arrive at school.
But it is
the rain’s fault it is not mine or our fault. And the more I walk the more
these problems come alive and the more problem I realize that there are in this
small or bit world. Malala where are you?
And I would
have continued my journey together with you. Mentioning here all the problems
that our schools have. And I wish I have the power of Malala, I wish
my voice could have been heard by the other, but humans are too busy with their
daily and busy life. I wish I could change this world. And I have a dream that
every day we have a Malala and change our day, our life, our generation.
I know I am
not doing enough to change the world, I know that I am not doing as much as
Malala did. But I know that we can have a better world, a better generation ,
and a better teacher. Malala where are you?
