Essay: Education plays an important role towards political stability, economic development and social progress. It brings political stability in the way that it realizes the people their national rights and duties. When the people are aware of their rights and duties, a conducive environment is created for better implementation of the policies and to ensure healthy participation of the people. Education brings economic development because it enhances the productivity and efficiency of the people, and provides them necessary skills. This way people assume their respective roles and fulfill them efficiently, and eventually support the sustainable economic growth of the country. Education shapes the personality of the people to integrate them rightly into the society. It seeks them moral obligations and duties, so they can play their part in the society.

The under-developed education system of Pakistan has created many evils in the country. According to most of the social scientists and experts, poor role of education system is critical factor of political instability, economic upheavals and social disorganization. Nevertheless, vital role and significance of education system is largely neglected in Pakistan unveiling a plethora of problems and challenges. Although, blessed with tremendous resources and vast manpower, Pakistan is considered in the list of poor nations, even in the South Asian region. It has become a victim of terrorism; it witnessing poor economic growth of nearly 3% of the GDP and even experiencing severe political instability. Undoubtedly, there would be also some other factors responsible for instability in Pakistan but education is the crucial one.

Education system of Pakistan is facing some serious problems. First, it is lacking adequate funds for proper infrastructure development. Second, there are many parallel education systems existing in Pakistan which foment discrimination and create disparities among the people. Third, there is lack of creative and practical education which could provide fuel for research and innovation in the society. Fourth, education system is unable to meet personality needs of students to make them true human beings who can serve the society. Fifth, faculty is lacking proper training and shows negligence towards its duties. It is unable to provide a role model for the students.

Prior going into the problems pertaining to education system, we need to see the historical evolution of education system to identify the inherent problem in it. The Muslims of India ruled under the foreigners for nearly two centuries. They were introduced with Western education system which was nearly imposed on them. Modern education institutions were founded in big cities which provided education to elites of the society, but poor and some orthodox Muslims continued Madrassah education system. Later degraded with time due to lack of funds and proper infrastructure, and its scope was limited to religious education. Although, some visionary Muslims tried to blend traditional education system with modern, these efforts can’t bring any substantial change. After establishment, Pakistan inherited divergent education systems. The new governments imitated foreign systems which had little or no relevance with Pakistani society, giving two extreme systems which abused each other. This gave birth to parallel education systems which still exist in the state: creating many disparities in the society.

Historically, a bundle of education policies have been introduced in Pakistan which envisaged ambitious goals, but most often, they lacked true implementation. Educational budget remained close to the margins of 2% due to constraints of financial resources. Only a few governments paid some extra attention to education system, but they can’t end the dilemmas of education…… ........

Conclusion:

The world has become a global village and trends of market-based economies are setting. Now we are living in a competitive environment and average systems have no space to survive. Changing dynamics of world calls for a vigilant education system, equipped with modern facilities, to produce competitive and productive human resource for the markets. Modern banking system, multi-national firms and business institutions require quality human resource to make their systems efficient and enhance their services and productions. Modern societies need well-mannered and disciplined members who could fit into the society and serve it well. Illiterate, unskilled and undisciplined people have no room to live and they are soon rejected by the society. Education systems must realize the changing dynamics of World and must be well-updated to make their space in the World.
A problematic education system would not serve Pakistan. The government and civil must play their parts to improve quantity, equity and quality in the education. Such an education system is the need of time, which provides equal opportunities to all and makes the students true human beings. It is a time, not for new policy, but implementing the existing ones with sincerity and determination. One needs to mobilize all the existing resources and make their proper utilization. Optimum spending would be the right way when the economy is already strained. It is the time for educated and better Pakistan.

good effort on your behalf.but there is still lack of deep studies in this topic.you can also include number of things like you just said that (education increase economic growth). so there is now KEI which means knowledge economy index which shows that which country is is on above on this index and which country is at the lower point.Pakistanis KEI is at the lowest in south Asian countries.according to latest Pakistan labor force survey literacy rate in Pakistan is 57.7% and according to latest economic survey Pakistani students of fifth grade are actually three years back from there recent class.so there is need to overhaul the whole system and we will have to produce global students instead of local students.

Dear, well done. U attempted better but i think its a large essay which u summed up like a short essay.
Here u should mention other countries also who brought education system on high ups.
The capable/competitive teachers may be selected through commission. New mode of training for the primary teachers and an internal auditing commitee should be constituted for strict presence of teachers in rural area schools, one sylabus should be tought in whole country. The sylabus of public schools must be examined and approved through competent authority according to the government sylabus. Iqra schooling system is now a days providing good education. Islamic education and worldly related are summed up in a good manner, and u can mention more.
