🔸 Do you think, the meritorious should be given priority in the education system, or the unmerited??

Yes there should not be any relaxation in the quality and merit of students in admission to higher studies. But unfortunately there are lot corruption and manipulation by miscreants to jeopardize the selection process like NEET for courses of medical graduate and postgraduate in our country.

Moreover there are malpractices in selection of teachers in academic institutions.

Though activists are fighting against these but we ordinary public also should not become victims of these for our narrow minded goals.

🔸Can education affect society and country? How much does it affect??

Education is the backbone of the society and country. A country cannot progress without education. In India literecy rate is very high. So there shall be budget allocation for education by the financial institutions and government.
