“Education is a matter of life and death for Pakistan. The world is progressing so rapidly that without requisite advance in education, not only shall we lag behind others but may be wiped out altogether.”
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
It is clear in this Era of Technology and progress that Education plays vital role in progress and development of a country and nation. As pakistan is an under developed country, Education is Extremely important for its Children and youngsters as well.
We are watching that standard of Education system in pakistan is worst of its kind and if it will not change, Economy of Pakistan will go down daily and Pakistan cannot become Fully developed country until the System and structure of Education is improved or totally changed.
Today I am here with some suggestions for the Improvement in the current Education of Pakistan for a Better future because according to the Article of 25-A of constitution of Pakistan:
The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of five to sixteen years in such a manner as may be determined by law
But as we see today in pakistan that the condition of schools and colleges of Govt. sector is worst as compared to Private schools and colleges, This is mainly due to the syllabus and the method of teaching in both Govt. and Private sector.
We ourselves have created double standards for education like different education levels for different classes of people (i.e: middle class, lower class and upper class people), because lower class people could not afford such costly fees of private sectors.
Let me highlight some main points for improvement of Education system in Pakistan:
Career Counseling:
Today biggest problem in pakistan is that student doesn’t know what to do next in his life so he goes to undirected path and fails in life. There should be people for career counseling of children so that they could get to know that what they have to do in future.
These people should be appointed in both Govt. and private sectors. Parents should also understand what a child wants to do in life and they should not impose their decisions on children.
Lets suppose sometimes a child wants to be a doctor but parents try to impose that he should must become an engineer or sometimes Child wants to become an Engineer but parents impose that he should become Doctor.
In such cases child loses his heart and stops hard work and passion in his studies and Try to start Cramming and at the end of the day he becomes a failed person.
Change the system:
Govt. have to take specific steps to end cramming system in education from Govt. as well as Private sector and implement system of practical work, so that every student can gain more knowledge by doing research on that specific topic or subject, unlike “Ratta”(cramming) system where student have to memorize everything for short period of time which Teacher gives him/her.
Equality and Quality in Syllabus:
We are facing many problems in our Educational system due to different courses in different boards and Provinces. At first Govt. should implement same course and syllabus in all provinces and Boards to make sure that everyone gets same education.
Secondly Govt should order Private as well as govt. schools and colleges to implement one syllabus in classes and there should be no double standards like implementing Oxford’s books in private sectors and Implementing Text Board’s books in Govt. sectors.
Training for Teachers:
Govt. should implement higher standards for choosing Teachers (i.e: at least M. Phil teachers) to make sure that they are teaching according to some standards.
At least one Teachers Training session should be held in every six months where professionals should teach some better ways to teachers for teaching. In this way we can get more concentration on improvement of teaching methods.
In The End:
These are some of the major issues of the current education system of Pakistan, Lets hope for the better future of Education system in Pakistan.
