During the globalization era, the abundance of hard natural resources is no longer the major factor determining a country’s power. “Soft” resources, such as technology, brain power, and educated workers, have become the main ingredients to success. China and India have become superpowers in Asia based on this principle. Both countries, having given priority to technology and produced many educated people, have been recognised as world powers. In an era dominated by education, a country’s power and influence depend on the number of its educated citizens. As a result, countries with higher education and high numbers of educated people have been able to dominate the world stage while those with lower education standards automatically fall behind. Education and human resources are the driving force behind any developed nation. Conversely, poverty and crime dominate countries with lower numbers of educated people. Myanmar’s education system has been systematically destroyed by a group of unintelligent people who did not want the public to become educated. They downgraded this country from quality-based education to quantity-based education. In doing so, they produced a large number of uneducated graduates. Our education system, which once met the global standard, has now been demoted to a place even lower than the Southeast Asian standard, making Myanmar citizens feel inferior in the world. The dictators were simply too egotistical to foresee that brainpower would become the primary source of influence in the global era. Sadly in this Age of Education, Myanmar people have thus become the region’s weakest link. The disappearance of a highly educated middle class is the main reason for the increasing poverty and crime that Myanmar now faces. Thus, the education system must be upgraded to boost the middle class. The first way to upgrade our education system is to accept the truth about its long, sad slide toward mediocrity. In the past, the authorities have turned a blind eye to the real truth; they have acted as if Myanmar’s education standard has actually risen due to increased numbers of graduates and universities in the country. Once the truth has been accepted, the solution cannot be far behind. Thus, the Daily Eleven urges the authorities to accept the truth and give special priority to upgrading our education system. They must do all they can to reduce poverty and crime, and give the middle class a fighting chance. Edited by Khine Lin Kyaw
