The only thing left to do is take a stand. With all the facts and figures in place it's up to us as fellow humans to support and fight for what is right. Whether it's rallying in front of the capital or petitioning your government, every human being is entitled the right to learn to better themselves.
It's funny that everyone knows that education is a fundamental part of growing up, yet people are still so blind to what is going on.
This past week South African youth took to the streets outside Parliament in Cape Town to protest yet again. "The schools in the Eastern Cape are dire," Bayanda, a COSAT junior, said in a blog titled "School Year Blog". "I don't think the Department of Basic Education is realizing the seriousness."
Students gather under the direction of Equal Education in order to bring awareness about the current learning conditions in South African schools. Equal Education is trying to force the government to take action and responsibility for what's going on.
This is one of the most important things that needs to voiced, especially to government. Change starts with an individual but skyrockets when someone with power takes a stand. Could you imagine having the power to change lives and not using it? Me either.
The time to take a stand is NOW. The future of our planet depends on it.
