lets see.but i have always noticed that maldives concentrate more on the building and all than on the services. for example, huge buildings for schools and faculties are very nice with modern finishings and all. but education is much better (guess that is the reason more and more are going there instead of getting in in maldives)in Indian insitutions which dont have good enough facilities..sometimes the buildings looks like they will crumble down anytime.sometimes even in big and famous universities a few computers are found. they concentrate more on the services. even if we look in to child protection and all we can see that. this does not mean the building should not be good.. we need a balance. we need good facilities for good service..the problem is the latter doesnt show up usually in maldives.
