The sad tale of university students in the wake of lecturers’ strike notice

It is unfortunate that the very university students who crave for getting education and finishing school in time, without a hitch, if possible, are conspicuously missing out in various university campuses across the country. The lecturers of public universities issued a strike notice that is expiring on 20th this month.

That begs the question- why would the very students, who should be eager to learn and graduate in time, be in a jolly mood when a strike notice is given? Are they tired of classes and learning? Have they lost hope with university education? Or are they just behaving immaturely and are clinging to the temporary goodies and good times that come with holidays?
