EDITORS COMMENTS
Education: A Glimpse into the Past - In this print from the early 1980s, we witness a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by school children during that era. The scarcity of textbooks meant that these young learners had to share their limited resources amongst themselves. Clutching their worn-out books tightly, they huddled together at their desks, eagerly absorbing knowledge despite the hardships. The image showcases not only the resilience and determination of these students but also sheds light on the resourcefulness of educators who repaired these cherished books countless times. Only when a book became unreadable beyond repair would it be replaced, emphasizing just how precious each volume was in nurturing young minds. The uniforms worn by these children symbolize unity and equality within an educational setting where all were given equal opportunities for learning. Despite facing adversity, they remained committed to expanding their horizons through reading and education. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to our collective journey towards providing quality education for all. It reminds us of how far we have come in ensuring access to textbooks and other essential learning materials today. Let this image inspire us to continue striving for equitable education systems worldwide so that no child is left behind.
