INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL DROP-OUTS IN MY AREA

There has been a great increase in the number of school drop-outs in my area recently. This has resultant effects on the society at large and my area in particular The number of street urchins (area boys and girls) as they are commonly referred to is increasing by the day. with devastating consequences. The alarming rate of burglary, stealing, prostitution and even robbery in the area is an indication that the government has to do something drastic about the menace.

Children do not just drop out of school. There are some obvious reasons why they drop out of school so rapidly. First there is a great poverty among the people of my area Parents are so poor that they are unable to send their children to school. In most cases, they have too many of them It is as a result of poverty that many children are made to hawk goods on the streets Children hawking on the streets often make these children to abandon their education because they are exposed to money making ventures early in life.

Secondly, many parents in my area shirk in discharging their parental duties. They do not care for these child e menial jobs around 'en they are exposed to money making ventures early in life. and in most cases, these children have to fend for themselves and in the course of doing these menial jobs around they are enticed to the extent that they drop out of school. Most parent in my area do not impart proper moral upbringing the their children.

Furthermore, children are not motivated because of the increase in unemployment among the educated in our society. As a result of this, they do not see the need to o to school when they know that they might end up being, unemployed. The large proportion of unemployment in the country has a negative effect on these ignorant children of school age to the extent that they get fascinated by the various crimes in our society, which they consider as a means of getting money.

We should look for a means of minimizing negative trend. The government should do something urgent ab unemployment in our society. If parents are employed, they will be able to send their children to school without these children having to hawk before they can go to school.

The government should promulgate a law which forbids parents from having more children than they can cater for. There should also be a law which will ban children from hawking on our streets, during school hours.

Lastly, education should be made compulsory and affordable in the country. This will make it easier for parents to send their children to school

The Dangers of Keeping Bad Company in School.

It is sad to note that many young ones in schools today go out with groups that turned out to be the ones that change their good destiny.

The holy book says: show me your friend and I will tell you who truly you are. A popular proverb also supports this statement when it says: Birds of the same feather flock together.

According to the English Advanced Learners Dictionary a company is a group of people with a common set of goals and objectives, while a school is a place created in order to acquire knowledge that would make a learner a better and useful person to himself and others in future.

One important cornerstone that needs individual contribution is the choice of a company to stay with. A company is by choice and not by force. Today. in most of our schools. students select companies without weighing the social, political economic and educational gains of such relationship They end up regretting their actions. Some of them started games whose end they do not know Usually they end in shame that may be difficult to remedy. Examples abound in society where students from good homes turned to wolves with human skin.

Therefore it is very important to itemize factors that generate bad company its effect and what can be done to curb or put an end to it

Many factors contribute to the growth of bad groups in schools in recent times Major among them are: parents attitude to their children at home wrong societal value. and the cash and carry syndrome in society.

First, most parents fail in their God-ordained responsibility to control their children and wards at home. Some parents put this responsibility of managing their children and wards on school teachers, who themselves have a lot to do

Furthermore. we are in a society with wrong values, a society where survival of the fittest is the order of the day. a society without decorum.

In addition, the materialistic state of society also contributed to this Most bad groups in schools put their focus on material liberation instead of educational liberation The result is what we are witnessing in schools today.

The dangers of keeping bad gangs or company in school are numerous and very damaging to the academic and social souls of the school system. a place expected to be the product for the best brain needed for the development of the country.

First, it brings about the growth of gangsterism in schools. Gangs are groups of elite students that can do anything o protect the interest of their members Gangs have destroyed the unity of many schools.

Second, bad company is usually the birth place of many notorious cult groups we have in society today. Their activities are too numerous to mention.

Third bad company leads to poor academic performance of students. This is due to the fact that academically poor students use it as a forum to protect their incompetence and thereby terrorize their teachers when they fail. Criminal activities that are very rampant in schools today got their roots from bad associations.

Therefore. all stakeholders in the field of education must wake up to their responsibility of making sure that bad groups are curbed or eradicated from schools. it is in interest of everybody.

TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

Good morning Mr. Chairman, panel of Judges, accurate time keeper, co-debaters, ladies and gentlemen. Am here today to support the motion that states that 'Technology has made the world a better place'.

It is through technology that the world came to embrace modern ways of life through the use of television, car, radio, telephone, etc. In the past the people lived an archaic and primitive existence until technology was embraced and today life has been made easier for everyone via technology. Technology has helped us and it is still helping us to live longer. In the past people died without anybody fathoming the causes of their death until technology came in and helped in unraveling the causes of death. The magic was done through the invention of equipment that run tests on humans to detect the causes, nature, symptoms and cures of illnesses.

It is also through technology that we are able to communicate effectively with one another. In the past communicating with distant friends. relations, etc. was done via only letter writing but the advent of technology gave us telephone and now mobile phones. Today one does not have to write often because one can sit in the comfort of one room and within seconds communicate with anybody in any part of the world. Likewise. everybody now has a mobile phone with them and can communicate with ease.

Technology has also made work easier via the use of computer. Today we have computers in our various homes and offices which help us to work fast with ease. People now abhor doing things manually and have resorted to the use of computer for communication and business transactions. Think of how the world would be without computers in our homes and offices. Technology has made the world a better place to live in because it has given us the engineering used in building good roads, houses, cars and bridges across the world.

Technology has made the world a better place through the invention of airplanes which can travel to any part of the world in the speed of lightning. In the past people spent days, weeks and months to get to any part of Africa, Europe and America. The journeys were usually fraught with dangers but the airplanes have made travelling from one continent to another continent easier and fun to embark on.

Technology has made the world a better place to live in with the advent of electricity. In the past people lived in the dark because of the absence of power. People tend to retire early to bed once it was evening. But the situation has changed today because power is now generated to give us night visibility. We now go about our social life and businesses even late into the night because of power generation.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen. I stand here today purely convince in my mind that technology has made the world a better place to live in for everybody.
