National unity seminars weaponise youth, reframing civic duty as military readiness. A disturbing trend towards indoctrination, not education.
FO Take · Score 10
Governments worldwide are perverting education into indoctrination. Seminars like "Marka-e-Haq" mould young minds into state-compliant cogs, not critical thinkers. This relentless militarisation of youth, under the guise of national unity, stifles dissent and creativity. Are we educating citizens or manufacturing soldiers?
The strongest counter
Programmes promoting national unity are crucial for social cohesion and stability. Educating youth on defence preparedness is pragmatic, fostering resilience in uncertain times, not stifling thought.
