I reckoned that today I am a medical practitioner who went through a lot to get graduated. I may not be successful with ownership of mansions and fleet of assorted vehicles but I feel fulfilled practicing (and freely impactful to a number in need) what I have learnt courtesy of a largely free education policy, funded by the public fund and recurrently fought to remain so by students’ generation before mine and by my generation, at a great cost for some of us though.
I remember that as one of the sons of a mother of two sons, who lost her husband when I was barely two years to cancer in 1972, it would have been very difficult to get the education to become a medical doctor if not for the free education policies in existence when I was in school. Especially the mid-segment – secondary education.
