Points: Unrest among students is symptomatic — The mayor causes — Teachers’ role to remove unrest.
People talk about unrest among students. They complain that there is more indiscipline among students now than before. Students form the youngest section of our population. By nature, youths are full of vitality and activity. If that energy finds no normal outlet, they become restive.
Students are not independent of the society they live in. If the society is full of anomalies, the students cannot but he affected by them. Poverty, injustice, corruption, unemployment, strike, immorality, opportunist politics, illiteracy, diseases — these have their evil effects on the young minds. They become attracted to violence and anarchy. They suffer from tension and often lose mental balance. The growing unrest among students is only a reflection of the growing disorder in the society itself. It has to be remedied there.
The educational institutions should have their independence. Otherwise they will be overshadowed by politics and will become the hotbed of all the evils of politics. We need bold and upright teachers who alone can turn the tide and give a new leadership. The students need living examples before them. They need hope and encouragement and also some idealism. If they have these, there will be no unrest among students any longer.
