An Explanatory Note

Hey there,

This week’s article is titled “Our Pathetic Education System”. It’s written by a college student and it’s a quick read with intense implications. Check it out!

This week’s poll question is:-

How bad are coaching centers? (Scroll down to the bottom of the page to vote!)

If you’ve been following our site closely you’d find that this week there should have been an article on our ongoing series of articles on free education abroad. But sadly, we found out that it didn’t get the reception that it deserved. So, we decided to discontinue it for now. But don’t worry, if you had been really expecting more articles on how to get free education abroad (we were going to do one on free graduate education in the US and one more on free education in Europe), you can always appeal to us by posting comments under this post. Get enough people who think so to appeal with you and we’ll put the series right back on track! For now we don’t think the series is what our readers want the most.

Don’t forget to tell your like-minded friends about us!

Happy reading!
