Why Pakistan lacks in education

A. Low literacy level and low standard of education
These are general problems and need no elaborate.
B. Multiplicity of educational systems
There are many systems working here, resulting in not synergy but social division and conflict. For example we have English medium schools, Urdu medium schools.

RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Declare educational emergency
The present government should declare a national educational emergency and involve the whole nation, including the army, in waging a war against illiteracy.
Some steps that the government might consider taking in this regard are:

1. Declare education as the highest priority of the government. Explain that unless the impediments of illiteracy and lack of education are removed.
2. Make it mandatory for government and army officers at all levels to do stints at various educational institutions in relation to their skills and national requirements.
B. Improve, update and form curricula, texts, and examination and evaluation techniques
There is no need to say that improvement, updating and new work needs to be done in these areas. Again, some steps that the government might consider taking are:

1. Give more importance to language education and mathematics at the primary and secondary levels.
2. Various teams of experts should be involved in performing the above mentioned task of improvement and formation.
3. Instruction in science, history and social studies should be incorporated in language teaching at the primary and secondary levels through activities and projects.
4. Computer education should also be introduced gradually right from the elementary stage in education.
C. Eliminate multiplicity in education gradually
A uniform system of education should be introduced gradually to eradicate the problems multiplicity of systems creates as pointed out earlier. One important thing that the government should attempt in this regard is,

“Introduce one medium of instruction”
