Question Would English be able to hold its place in Civil Service or not?

Let's think for a moment that more or less 97 percent of candidates fail CSS exam because of the fact that they are weak at English. And, if FPSC ever takes a decision to hold the exam in Urdu down the road by making it compulsory medium to attempt the papers, then it might only add two or maybe three percent to the actual percentage of the passed candidates. Assuming the outcome, what would 94 or 95 percent failed candidates do in the rest of their lives, considering majority having no knowledge of English at all, and while considering the probable situation that it might be a career or educational requirement for them ahead after being done with CSS?

What do you guys think of the proposed exclusion of English from the toughest competitive exam of Pakistan, while keeping in view its importance everywhere else in the world?
