In a small mountain village, the villagers decided to organize an unusual race, not of horses or athletes, but of pigs. These were not ordinary pigs; they were powerful wild boars, capable of running at great speed.
The villagers captured these boars and began training them for the race. Weeks passed, but instead of training them for agility, the villagers fed them excessively, causing them to become fat and lazy instead of fit and swift. The boars gradually lost their lean and agile bodies, becoming increasingly overweight. The villagers, proud of their sluggish pigs, eagerly awaited the day of the race.
The day of the race arrived, and the once powerful boars, now turned into sluggish swine, stood at the starting line. The race began, but to everyone’s disappointment, the boars struggled even to walk. They could not run even ten percent of the distance they once could in the wild.
The villagers realized their mistake too late. In their attempt to make the once sharp and agile creatures race-ready, they had turned them into slow and powerless beings.
In our country’s education system, pigs are being prepared in a similar way. Students graduate high school and college, but they neither learn practical skills nor gain the ability to work efficiently. Those providing the training are turning agile boars into sluggish pigs. With excessive snacks, an overload of subjects, and a lack of practical skill teaching, how can students be prepared for the real world? The examination system that frightens students and the setup that strips away their skills and abilities—what do you think about that?
