A few weeks ago, a journalist from The New Vision newspaper approached me and asked my opinion on the many private boarding schools where students are not required to do housework.
I believe housework is important and instills a level of self-efficiency. Environmental hygiene can also never be over estimated.
Having said that, we should have a balance. What is the goal and vision of the school? Is that goal shared amongst parents and students alike?
While housework and time management are crucial, students should also apply soft skills like empathy, public speaking, leadership and etiquette and have practical guidance on financial management, business ethics, global news.
Without these, many students are raised to become well-behaved wives who clean and cook with extremely low self-esteem and no idea how to run a business.
