Effect of Corona on youth, labour & Educational institutions
As everyone knows
corona effects on old people & children badly but in developing countries
as Pakistan it affected our youth more than old people & children. On 14th
March the Government of Pakistan decided to put the country in lockdown. Schools,
Colleges & Universities were closed till further orders. The youth came
home & their wait started for opening their institutions. As corona
prolonged, the youth began to astray from their right path. Some started
playing games on Pcs & laptops. Some of them started using mobile phones
& others began to roam the late night. I think corona affected our youth badly,
we would not be able to recover all these drawbacks in the coming years.
"As Quaid e Azam had said “Education is a
matter of life & death for us"
Today it can rightly be said we are going forward to our death. No one
knows what would happen to our youth in the coming years. Who would be responsible
for this "corona or our policymakers “This epidemic has fully changed the
world.
Effect on daily wages labour
On the other
hand, the most affected people are the people who are daily wages labourer, vendor
& street hawker. These are the people who eat what they earn. These are the
people those are living in miserable conditions. The conditions are intolerable
for them & their innocent children. Our Govt has helped them with 12000 RS which
is a good gesture of our Govt. but is it enough for their families? I would
like to say "not at all” it would be enough for a month while two & a
half month has passed. There is no public transport for long routs on roads,
people who were working in far off cities had to pay what they had to the truck
or trawler driver to reach their home for Eid. Their families had been living
in pitiable condition since 15th of March 20. Only God knows better when this
condition will come to an end or their life.
Effect on private educational institutions
The other group of people which is more effected is private educational institutes.
This group is playing a vital role in the development of the country. Millions
of students are studying in these institutions. Schools, colleges and universities
were closed on the 14th of March 20. Govt also ordered these institutions to
pay full salaries to their staff which was the right decision. But parents of
the students are not cooperating with these institutions. Put the affected
people aside, other than those are also search for a safe escape.
School is not only the name of the fore wall around it. Many other people
also depend on them, their teachers, gourds, night watchman & peons. Nobody
is taking responsibility. By God, they all are white-collar people who can’t
beg & can’t ask anyone. The way which is left for them is suicide which
they are committing. Our Govt has given relief to every other group except
private educational institutions. Why this is being done with them no one knows
the reason. If our present Govt wants to destroy these institutions, what would
be the next step to provide the students & staff with the alternate of
these institutions while Govt institution is already crowded?
I would suggest Govt should reopen these institutions according to govt
SOPs so that their concern alleviate & they could start their work again if
it is not possible then provide them relief package for the survival of the
owners & staff of these institutions.
