Building an acceptable lifestyle is a collective responsibility. The biggest challenge in life is being yourself, in a world trying to make you like everyone else. The students are the greatest assets that any nation can possess.
Potentially,they are the greatest investments for a society's sustainable development. Restiveness is not a recent phenomenon as its various forms are motivated by social, economic, political or religious factors. The urgent need for parents, community, school administrators and society at large for effective collaboration to curb the rising immoralities in this generation is highly needed now. We don't need to compare those days to the 21st century but instead proffer solutions genuinely.
The willingness on the part of the school and society to ensure all kinds of social vices goes into extinction will determine how ready we are to preserve our culture and bring normalcy to our society. Many factors contributed to the rise in indiscipline we are facing today ranging from social, media, demographic,peer influence, poor parenting etc.
The fact remains the solution is embedded in our unity and the sacrifice for a dignified society. Let's not forget, happenings in our society define us and have much to say about our value. Of all the problems our dear country is facing,from insecurity, unemployment, poor Educational funding among others. We as a nation, United in our diversity must not add immorality to it because it's as dangerous as watching our values go extinct. We must endeavor to secure the present generation from the doom that awaits a Nation that doesn't prepare for the future.
Furthermore, it is achievable if we all play our roles in curbing this restiveness. Parents should monitor and evaluate the growth of their children not only in Education but with discipline. Let's preach love and humanity both at home and in our community,let's correct ourselves in a way that preserves our self esteem. We all as a nation must see ourselves as one indivisible family.
The schools should lay emphasis on the importance of moral and Educational excellence. Teachers remain in-loco parent during and after teaching with love and passion, they should create an enabling learning environment where learners believe and trust them. Society at large should foresee a nation where we don't enforce but ensure things are done in the right way. The government should tackle the inequity ravaging us as a nation in various forms.
Finally, there is no stagnant society, it's either progressing or backward,of which it should be our priority to progress as a nation, our Nation progress is about people of common purpose achieving outstanding goals which make them unique as a society and sustain peace.
