Educator Calls for Media Reform Before Education

Gitanjali J. Angmo, an educator and social entrepreneur, believes that before we focus on changing the education system, we should first reform the media.

She argues that TV studios, WhatsApp forwards, YouTube channels, and social media trolls have become the biggest influencers today, teaching people to hate and react without thinking.

She says that political labels and ideologies make people more partisan and narrow-minded.

Angmo concludes that a nation fed propaganda every day cannot be educated; it can only be conditioned.

Therefore, she suggests that media reform should come before educational reform.
