Despite budget, 26,000 children in early childhood development centres go hungry. Malnutrition stunts learning before it begins. A national disgrace.
FO Take · Score 10
The state’s proclaimed investment in early childhood development is a charade. Millions allocated, yet thousands of vulnerable children starve. This isn’t a funding problem; it is a moral abdication. How can we expect future generations to thrive when we deny them basic sustenance today.
The strongest counter
Blaming the government alone is facile. NGOs and communities must bridge the gap. Shared responsibility, not just state critique, is the path forward.
