In the wake of the Cockroach Janta Party youth protest at Jantar Mantar, Delhi, there seems to be an awakening among the youth in our country. And even more heartening to note is that this protest has emboldened school students in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and elsewhere to come out and protest against shortcomings of the Education department, whether it is poor infrastructure or lack of teachers, etc.
And now, we see students from the Government Higher Secondary Schools in Sanguem and Valpoi in Goa protesting against the transfer of teachers from their schools. So, has Gen Z & Gen Alpha finally arrived? They are the future of our country and they are taking over the reins. More power to the next generation, but of course they need to be on their guard and not get misguided.
