And what happens to the good teachers when they get fed up with dealing with a government who won't treat them with respect but still want to teach? Ya, they'll go to the private system, as doctors have who found it easier to work on simple surgeries in private clinics and not be on call. The private system will then be seen as the only place to get a good education for your child, and less well off will have to make hard decisions on how to fund their child's education, while the well off buy the best available to them. Meanwhile, the public system will degrade because the govenrment has repeatedly shown zero inters in fixing it.
The govenrment is poisoning the public well because they have the power and motivation to do so. They will continue to do this as long as voters give them the permission and power to do so. None of this is new, or could not be known before. It shouldn't be a surprise.
