Irremediable Damage

On the sidelines of an educational workshop held in Bengaluru, met this person who had returned from US after his entrepreneurial stint in financial transaction domain. What triggered this reversal was a deep rooted desire to use his expertise in technology to uplift people of his motherland.
Among the several inspirational anecdotes highlighting our rendezvous, one was truly fundamental. Commenting upon the several facets of education system which he perceived as wrong and which needed immediate amends, he said,"When I was working with transactions, errors could be corrected, it was only a matter of credit or debit. That could be dealt with later. When it comes to education, these problems impact the way an entire generation is learning. What goes wrong is irreversible. Irremediable damage!"
