Now I will talk about the education system in my country. I am a student in high school in Cretain, and I have a problem with the education ministry banning extra classes. I don't know when this problem started, but on the 14th of February, they banned extra classes. If teachers want to open extra classes, they must pay a tax of 30% to obtain a business license. I think in the future, students who want to attend extra classes will have to pay a lot of money to study. This is a problem for students and parents, especially for poor families who cannot afford to pay. As a result, they cannot attend extra classes, and our scores are suffering. I believe this is a significant issue now. In my experience, I think the education ministry should allow extra classes again to help students improve their education.
