America allocated $20 million two weeks ago for a Pakistani adaptation of Sesame Street.
In addition, Britain made a substantial offer, proposing approximately $900 million…yes, indeed, that’s correct—no typo here—$900 million in aid for Pakistan’s government aimed at enhancing educational facilities.
I can’t help but wonder which of these initiatives will have a greater impact on educating impoverished children in Pakistan.
As per my last update, Pakistan’s government had sufficient resources to maintain nuclear weapons.
It’s understandable, though; if naïve and financially strapped nations like Britain are covering the education expenses. This situation obviously imparts a significant lesson that the youth of Pakistan will absorb.
While America may have Sesame Street, Britain boasts its own muppets.
