Educational issues in Pakistan

Some Major Problems

Education system is based on unequal lines

Medium of education is different in both, public and private sector. This creates a

sort of disparity among people, dividing them into

two segments.

Lack of technical education The lack of technical education is a biggest flaw in the education policy that has never been focused before.

Therefore, less technical people means low

standard of education.

Gender Discrimination

 As there is a 10:4 ratio of boys and girls respectively in primary schoolsFor the last few years there has been an increase in the growth of private schools. That not only harms the quality of education but creates a gap among haves and has not.

Untrained Teachers The teachers in government

schools are not well trained. People who do not get job in any

other sector, they try their luck in educational system.

They are not professionally trained teachers so they are unable to train a nation.

Academic Problems

Resources regarding education are not enough in Pakistan But the problem is that we are not taking benefits of available resources Resources are not being utilized properly due to presence of unskilled, dishonest and less educated administration.

POVERTY

Poverty is also another factor that restricts the parents to send their children to public or private schools. So, they prefer to send their children to madrassas where education is totally free.

Solutions Implementation instead of projecting policies

should be focused on. Workshops must be arranged for teachers. Technical education must be given to all the

classes. Teachers, professors and educationists

should be consulted while devising any plan, syllabus or policy.

The need of time is to bring education in its original form to masses.
