1. Rule was there regarding minimum age for PP admission. One reason for the rule was pressure of admission in government schools prior to Private School comings. Another reason was young children demanded more attention therefore more teachers which government schools could not afford. But now Private schools charge the fees and provide the needed care in PP classes.
2. The former Cabinets, education Mimisters and Secretaries did not strictly enforce the rule on PP admission age for valid reasons and circumstances. Thus restriction rather than complete ban was exercised.
3. What proven exercises and practices made education ministry decide that the children of 5 years age are unfit for PP standard? I think it is based on old fashion thoughts. The children of today are far more savy at 5 years age than we were at age 8 during those feudal rural era in Bhutan. Are we referring to international standards? Well there was an incident in an American school where a gun wielding 13 year student shot down several colleagues. That is the product of the most developed nation's schooling standard. Bhutan can do without such standards.
Do not think our 5 years old are too young or retarded to begin PP standard. Wake up! We have as elected MPs and Cabinet Ministers who are just few year old graduates. Please repay in same terms that trust and confidence you received from your country men to our 5 year old children to qualify them for PP standard.
Dear Education Minister and Secretary, in what standard would our beloved Gyalsey be upon completion of 6 years of age. In PP? I read private tutoring began at three and half. Apart from man made social and political hierachy differences, inborn natural talent is not differenciated by birth. We are all human whether born a prince or a pauper.
4. Please conduct a field study/ research of student progress in the past years. How have these supposed early PP students fared in schools ( primary, junior and high schools) . Study Police delinquency records and examine if any at all among early PP students are among the lists of Primary, Junior, High or even college delinquents. It is very unlikely that such early PP students had brush with laws in their academic years.
In fact this stupid blind sighted education policy of age 6 and above only admissions in PP have caused mainly over aged poor children into the goonda culture . This sick education policy is responsible for most of the ill fates of many of our have-not-youth population today.
5. At one time, it was a necessity to administer institutions based on adhoc rules. But now such rules based on presumptions, assumptions, temporary respite, anti- poor, whims and arbitarial idea must give way to substantive reasoning and public need basis.
This Education Ministry is into appointing teacher teams set to sexually abuse students and Inspector teams to victimise PP students already at home in their education environment. Pray what is it that make you people at Education Ministry act so violently towards your wards?
