Why the world need Malala?

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?
