his fault, not the schools’. Even though the school isn’t doing
enough to ensure that students are mastering the subjects.”

“Our education system does nos give enough guidance or
support to the students. The quantity and quality of guid-
ance and support is a very important factor that could help
students improve their participation in education. Instead
of hiring more assistants or teachers, schools need to change
their teaching system by improving their explanation method
and offering more assistance to those in need of it. Changes
such as these will improve our education system.” according
to Rene Herde.

REAL CHANGE

According to Rene Herde more changes need to be made to our
education system so students can reach their true potential.
The change that needs to be implemented is how they organize the
classes and how they stimulate students instead of selecting a
few and leaving them to fend for themselves. This limits
their development and hinders their education, profes-
sional career and their opportunity to achieve great
things in the future.
The selectivity of our education system is one of
the biggest injustices that we need to eliminate.
