Letters to the Editor: Don’t put your trust in opposite sex
Dear Editor, I wish to urge young people to desist from putting their trust in the opposite sex in the name of love.

This is because both of them could betray each other and because of the lack of maturity at their age, it would be difficult to handle such situations.
Many young people, especially girls, have had their lives destroyed as a result of falling in love.
Girls have been the worst victims because when they end up pregnant, some of the boys deny responsibility.
They are compelled to drop out of school to work so that they would be able to fend for themselves and their unborn babies or terminate the pregnancy. In the end, their lives are completely shattered.
Instead of engaging in this act which tends to take time and energy off books, young people should channel their energy into studies and in the end when they are successful, they will have all that they desire.T
here is so much life after completing school successfully and getting employed, therefore, let us do the needful now so that we will reap the benefits in future.
I can assure young people that if they take this advise in good faith, it will be well with them.

Address problems affecting formal education
Dear Editor, Some of our parents have done well by inculcating in us children the necessary values to help us grow up to become responsible personalities.
However, as a country, when it comes to formal education for children, I don’t think we have done well and that is why I call for attention in that area.
I have observed that there are certain things that serve as barriers to children trying to acquire formal education and these barriers are what I want to draw attention to so that they are tackled.
One of these barriers is the high cost of school fees. Many basic schools in the country, especially the private ones, charge high school fees which make it difficult for most parents to enrol their children.
Looking at the economic conditions in this country, only a few parents can afford private school education, meaning that the rest will have no option but to be stuck with low class education in poor facility schools because most public schools lack resources.
The absence of facilities such as libraries and computer laboratories which help students to study is a problem. Such situations do not help students to learn the practical aspect of things.
All they know is the theory which makes education boring, difficult and does not encourage children to go to school.
I, therefore, plead that authorities concerned should identify the problems affecting formal education and address them because the future of this country depends on the education of children.
