Stop burdening our students

IT has become a trend lately that every time the country faces a social problem involving our youths, there are calls for new subjects and courses to be introduced in schools and higher education institutions to tackle the problem.

For example, when there is an increase in cases of drug abuse, road accidents, bullying, gangsterism and bankruptcy, there will be groups or individuals proposing that a special or standalone subject or course to address the particular issue be introduced in our education system.
