There is no end to the complaints about the country’s education system. This dissatisfaction comes from students, parents, and educators alike. On one hand, the current education system is failing to produce skilled professionals, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of qualified researchers, doctors, and scientists. Despite repeated changes to the curriculum, no significant improvements have been made.

What impact do successive curriculum changes have on education? This issue is also being widely discussed in the media. According to information available in the news, the negative effects of curriculum changes outweigh the benefits. Many students are unable to properly understand their textbooks, and parents are also struggling to help their children with their studies.

Most concerning is that even after training, many teachers are failing to effectively teach students under the new curriculum. As a result, there is a kind of chaos in the overall education system. It has been reported that many teachers are saying that the training provided for understanding this new method was inadequate.

As a result, teachers, students, and parents are all in the dark regarding the curriculum and assessment methods. On the other hand, after the decision to completely remove the examination system from the new curriculum, parents have raised objections. However, the government claims that this initiative is aimed at preparing students as skilled individuals in line with the times.

The question is, how will the government implement an education system that students, teachers, and parents do not understand? The government says that it will take time, but how much time? How many generations will have their lives affected by this uncertainty? Does the government have any concern about this?

The Education Minister says, "We have introduced this curriculum to move away from rote memorization and build a generation of skilled individuals. However, there is a lot of negative publicity coming from urban parents. Not everyone opposes this change. It is indeed necessary to reduce reliance on rote learning." The Education Minister says, "We have introduced this curriculum to move away from rote memorization and build a generation of skilled individuals. However, there is a lot of negative publicity coming from urban parents. Not everyone opposes this change. It is indeed necessary to reduce reliance on rote learning."

Everyone agrees that rote memorization must be reduced; however, the methods for achieving this need to be clearly understood by students, parents, and teachers. The phrase "moving away from rote memorization" has become a mere slogan. Is it possible to learn anything without memorization? To understand or learn something, memorization is necessary, but it must be done with comprehension. This aspect is not being addressed by anyone.

This situation reveals that the government itself does not fully understand its actions. To resolve this chaos, a comprehensive overhaul of the education system is essential. The government, educators, and researchers must unite to address this issue. No one should have the authority to jeopardize the future of children under the pretext of curriculum reform.
