Dear Sir,
Our education system today appears to be lowering its own standards, gradually and consistently. This is a deeply worrying trend. The purpose of an education system is not merely to accommodate the current abilities of students, but to elevate them. When students struggle academically, the solution should never be to reduce the quality or rigor of education. Instead, the system must find better ways to help students rise to the expected standards.
Lowering educational expectations because students are underperforming does not solve the problem—it only entrenches it. It deprives students of the opportunity to develop their full intellectual potential and ultimately leaves them less prepared for the challenges of higher education, professional life, and an increasingly competitive world. An education system that continuously dilutes its standards, in the name of accessibility or convenience, does a profound disservice to the very students it seeks to serve.
Educational standards should always aspire to international levels of excellence. While teaching methods and support systems can be adapted to meet the needs of diverse learners, the benchmark of quality itself should never be compromised. Excellence should remain the goal, and every reform should aim at helping students reach that goal rather than bringing the goal down to meet current limitations.
Thank you for your thoughtful video, in which you articulated this important principle with such clarity. It is refreshing to hear someone argue that the answer to educational challenges lies not in lowering standards, but in strengthening the learning process and inspiring students to achieve more. I hope this perspective receives the attention it deserves and contributes meaningfully to the ongoing discussion on educational reform.
With warm regards,
