On the lack of quality education

Meaningful education is more than concepts floating around; it is a tool to understand our society.

The relationship between education and the state has always been a complex one. Authoritarian states believe that educated citizens with critical thinking pose a threat to those in power by questioning authority. Until the end of the Rana regime, access to education for the general public was limited. The literacy rate at the end of the regime was only 2 percent in a deliberate effort to deprive citizens of education.
