Does that make any sense?? How are you going to get Votes by starving people? Is the Sophia Univ Ed at work here Riffy???
Absolutely does make sense. Keep them uneducated and dependent on Sugar. It's the edumacated coolies who are questioning the PPP policies and who have turned away from the party. Of course there are those who claim to be educated but refuse to see the truth whether it's racism or blind loyalty.
Here's something for us to consider. At any time past present or future, in any school or classroom, there are always brilliant students and under-achievers aka dunces.
In Albouystown, a dunce who "graduates" from primary school naturally gravitates to that geographical area's Choke-and-Rob Industry which fits his educational level.
In Uitvlugt, a low-achiever who graduates from school naturally gravitates to that geographical area's Sugar Industry which fits his educational level.
NOTHING TO DO WITH PNC OR PPP.
So, in my view, it's unfair to blame the PPP for keeping people shackled to sugar estates. I don't know of a single case where the PPP has advised sugar workers to limit their or their children's education or to avoid seeking employment in other sectors of the economy.
Moses Nagamootoo said that Jagdeo never wanted to elevate the cane-cutters from out of the field. I agree with Moses 100%. I always stressed that the sugar industries should be modernized and give the cane-cutters chance to elevate themselves. The jest of the story is: A born cane-cutter shouldn't die as a cane-cutter.
