I fully agree with the writer for his valuable
suggestions. It will eventually give our country a
forward march in terms of educational development. We
must ask our present government to lay down some guide
lines to govern the unruly students. The University
teachers must be respected to make our future
generation a true learner and who will in turn run our
country. We need good reliable people for our better
future.
I must thank the writer for his most valuable ideas
about our educational institutions.
Regards.
