Are the School Libraries Still Important?

The information age or the digital era has come with and introduced many interesting concepts, attention-grabbing ideas and new ways of life. Education  before the digital age was ‘manual’- everything done on paper and to a larger extent activity oriented. However with the information age, things have changed. The amount of information found on the online community is immense. In fact in this era, it is almost possible to find any kind of information online. The online community has become schools for many too. The problem comes when the information retrieved online is not genuine, or rather not verifiable. Not all information on the internet is relevant.

Why the government should consider paying the teachers.

The education sector is at a standstill. Students are at home and the teachers are on the government to pay them. Members of Parliament were the first group to stage their strike and of course they reaped the best from it. This strike by the Members of Parliament came only three months after getting into office. Their demands were felt to be so high and considering the wage bill of the country at the moment, it was generally felt that the demands of the MPs could not go through. However, this was not to be when the Members of Parliament awarded themselves a hefty pay that in essence went even higher than what they demanded.
