So did the revolutionaries from the time mentioned in your previous post.<BR/><BR/>That not to say education and the arts aren't important, they're very important to me, but life and hard knocks experience really are not to be underestimated.nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455020285097397544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-7241809512150826282008-02-01T11:14:00.000+00:002008-02-01T11:14:00.000+00:00Unfortunately this is a huge problem in the Arab e...Unfortunately this is a huge problem in the Arab education system. I find it funny how only a years ago I was top of my class for Maths and now can't even do simple arithmetic! It's quite telling.<BR/>But the reson is the amoundt of pressure students are under and the economic problems which means that the fight for a good job is made all the more competitive. In egypt, for instance, most MA students are left unemployed for at least 2 years before they can get a job and even then the salaries are miserable. You can't solve the education crisis without doing something about economics and unemployment first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
