You need to go back and learn writing. It took me a while to understand your sentence. Learn how to use punctuation for fvck sake!

Energist:
All this clamor about new curriculum is exaggerated. The last time I checked the subjects offered in secondary school, I saw subjects like Marketing, Fisheries etc that are too specific at that level, and mostly not practicable. Tell me how many schools have a fish farm!
What I feel is needed is updating the textbooks due to advancement in knowledge although the basics remain the same. Technical education should be emphasised
