Where is my right to study?
Where is my right to study?
Hello, world I am here to tell a story and I am here to raise some questions, do we all have the right to study or it is reserved for the few elites. Are we the future of this nation or are we not? I want to ask a simple question does the right to study remains reserved to the elites?
I am a boy from an average family background in Pakistan who has achieved 7.5 in IELTS and now I am receiving offer for offer letters from the best universities in the world. Doors to the best universities in the world are open to me they are calling my name. Yet, I cannot go to them where is the government, where are our scholarships? The government claims “we are giving away number of scholarships” but the irony is I cannot find a single scholarships which is being given today. Is it that the literate Pakistan better Pakistan thing of the past or has the government ignored education of the future completely. The sarcasm is champions of democracy who always claim they want an educated Pakistan are the ones who cut down funds to HEC. Their own children study abroad but they don’t want common men like me to study there. I am asking the government anyone who notices that I am a student on the basis of my IELTS score I can get admission in any university of this world. I am your future if you help me out today you will have a better future tomorrow. I am not just talking about me, I am talking about countless students like me try and imagine this feeling a boy like me receives a call from “University of Hertfordshire and London School of Commerce” and if I cannot go there how much will it hurt, how much it will discourage me?
I am asking you to change I am asking you to help give us scholarships make the pattern simple so that poor and bright students like me can go there today and come and build a better liberal Pakistan tomorrow. We are the assets of this nation please treat us like so, but if you don’t change it for me and people like me than, I’ll do it myself for me and people like me if not today than tomorrow, if not tomorrow than the day after and the day after, every time I fail I will get up and try again, I’ll try and try till I succeed I am a deifier I’ll keep on defying you to the end, I am a deifier and I will not be denied I will change it and it’s a promise I make to me and people like me.
