"inclusive" educational development in Kakching

In the law of nature those more capable perform more capably, and those much more capable much more capably. Capability covers everything, abstract and concrete, that adds to a person’s ability, be it inborn traits, acquired skills, knowledge, money, family status, social status, and so on. Depending on the capability, the degrees of capability, there arises a field of varying capabilities in a society. The utopians fail to see or tend to overlook the crucial role that individual human capability/potential (one’s capability/potential is different from others’) plays in the building of societies and civilizations, and thus they reduce society to a level ground. In all human social endeavors, we should remember the fact of differing individual capabilities/potentials being a common denominator of all human affairs. We cannot protest the capable performing capably and progressing accordingly, and the more capable performing more capably and progressing accordingly. We should just see if that’s done justly. Injustice in any form should be protested.

In fact, inclusive development, education or anything, is the ideal state of affairs we should aim at, and as is usually the case with anything ideal, this one is also a difficult one.

Yes, usually children whose parents can afford comparatively higher educational costs become better academic performers (though this is not always the case), while children from weak economic conditions, though not less gifted or inherently less capable/potent, can’t perform satisfactorily or to their full extent, and end usually up less admirably. The prizes and awards, thus, go to the children of the rich, but yes, there is nothing wrong in awarding and recognizing the best, no matter what their economic grounds. The problem is not in awarding the best performers, but in the society not doing something to help its students of weak academic grounds, so they also can have a change.

In fact, awards and prizes do not see how long one has come, from what ground, through what difficulties. Usually awards and prizes recognize only those who reach the top, no matter how, no matter where you started your climb. This is not without its merit. So, sometimes the person who finishes in the second/third-place position or an unknown person/competitor may have covered a far longer distance, and been through unrecognized ordeals. Most kings are born on thrones, and end/die there. Their journey is very short. Some start from the bottom and climb till the top. Recognized or unrecognized.

But life takes everything into account, and while it's good get recognition, prizes and awards, they are not everything. Sometimes these really belittle really good people--prizes put them in boxes, like chocolate bars/balls . There should be inner, greater satisfaction in the hearts of those who have traveled longer. Yet, it’s always better to be in better positions than not.
