The Chief Flaws in Pakistan's Education System: by Ejaz Bhangar
 

As it is famous saying that “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” In this respect what a fascinating quotation of Prophet (PBUH) comes across us that” seek knowledge from cradle to grave ”Our beloved Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said acquisition of Education is Obligatory for both man and women. Nobody can deny the fruitful and enormous benefits that only God’s auspicious creature has been bestowed. In the world there are approximately 196 Countries which are considered the most advanced nations in the globe, but on the contrary Pakistan which is since the time of formation remains backward and undeveloped country.
If we keep a tiny glance at our educational system your sense will be shattered to know that the literacy rate of this country is only 58 percent our one third population is living in the darkest era of illiteracy. It is bitter truth that our education system was designed by the British rulers of that time and behind this, there was a deliberated purpose to keep us hanging through their wicked plans and made us antiquated nation. This outdated system which is now growing stagnantly in every institution is liable to produce only clerics and watchmen but in reality this nation is in needs of scientists, engineers, philosophers and architects.
There are huge numbers of problems faced by this underprivileged nation. one of them is the English language which has put the students in hot water. There are almost 25 languages are spoken in this county but why English is preferred in every corner of the world? Our majority of the books are translated in English which put the pupils in hardships and difficulties to absorb their syllabi. Urdu should be used as medium of instruction so that our new generation can prove themselves by cultivating their intellectual abilities. China is an example in front of us only the country which preferred its native language as the medium of instructions now known as one of the superpower countries in the world.
Another headlong problem which almost every individual stuck in that is expensive education which is only suits for white color’s children. Multiple types of education are found in this country, one is for poor while other is for rich and this discrimination embed
the poor in anxiety and feeling of inferiority .On other hand, private institution’s hike in fees has keep the poorer apart from getting education while government-run so called schools are only complete their formalities to sign their attendance register to assure that these institutions are working.
The other flaw that is the system of examination which has not been up to dated, candidates are given only 3 to 4 hours to show their years assessments, how in this meager time a student is proclaimed to be successful or fail.
Another defect which majority of the students feels extremely is the provision of suitable books. No doubt that Pakistan is the country of prominent authors but very few and inappropriate books are published in our state. Huge numbers of books are foreign written and their way of expression of compilation is beyond of our youngers. Ours most of the books should be published on the base of Islamic thoughts our youth needs Islamic teaching instead of others rotten ideas. The completion of the Quran should be compulsory for taking admission in secondary classes this step will compel youths to do this course first before going ahead.
Lastly which is very attention taking problem that is the co-education our orthodox molvis are against this system they severely oppose saying that females are the concealing creatures only for severing family members and make happy their husband while on the other hand our prophet clearly allowed to women for getting education.........

First quotation said by Nelson Mandela. Btw good piece of writing, keep it up.

:)

agreed.... but what you can say if someone I mean examiner differ your opinion of getting education in native language?
taking education in native Chinese for China.. ok China a big market, they can afford or whatever you say, Iran also giving education in his native language, how will you justify that India is not taking advanced education in their Hindi?

I am not that much senior in this group, but you have to take a stance which is more suitably accepted... not taking language in our own native language is one of the flawed system but not the only one reason... so you have to keep balance... in your quotes? is there anywhere written to take education in your native language????

I am hopefull for a positive discussion over it from you and others.... thanks

Dear i am agree with you answer but I'm junior member in this forum and have joined this forum three days before. in spite of encouraging i'm being discouraged:sad: inshallah i'll try my best to reach your level ideas hope that you would not offend....
as I've not a vast experience about imposing native language in our country but there is a lot of talent in Pakistan if native language is provided to our youths they would prove themselves one of the superpower countries in the world. as for as i concern english language is a hurdle for Pakistan.
