Problems Of Education In Pakistan

Education policies are very good but, unfortunately, there are many problems in this system and its implementations. Firstly, in current situation more attention is being paid to the higher education instead of primary education. In small villages primary schools are not progressing. These are small buildings schools having little facilities. All of us know that primary education is the main pillar of higher education. In every field of life primary education plays the foundation and supporting role. Government must promote it according to its importance.

Secondly, Look towards higher education system in Pakistan, there are hundreds of private and government colleges and universities. These are of different categories, for example universities

First category is Cambridge school system. In this system foreign syllabus is taught. These schools are so expensive that middle class families cannot afford it. This is specialized for high standard and elite class people. Cambridge schools are creating difference between middle class people and elite people. Second category of education is English medium school system. These schools are totally private. In these schools Pakistani course is taught in English. They are also expensive and people cannot afford. Third category is Madrassa school system. Here QURAN and RELIDIUON are taught. The special thing is that, Madrassa are free of cost. But to understand Islam and Quran we need education, which is not reasonably being provided there. The fourth and last category is government school system, where a Pakistani syllabus is taught in Urdu language. This is our grass root education system. This system is creating differences in educated part of our nation, which is a big hurdle in the way of progress of education system and Pakistan.

Fourthly, there are many factors affecting the education system in Pakistan for example lack of access to quality education, corruption, target killing, poverty, lack of interest towards education, inadequate government investment and lack of educational institutions. It is state’s responsibility to spread the education to everyone and to tackle the

Punjab has different course, Sindh, KPK, and Baluchistan have their own courses. Their books are different to each other. Their teaching method is different. Some use their mother tong in syllabus. How is it possible for KPK student to learn and understand biology, physics and chemistry of Baluchistan?

Finally, Lack of women education and co-education is another problem in Pakistan. There are many people against the coeducation system. Some people don’t send their daughters to schools and colleges .They consider women education unnecessary. But women education is necessary because nearly half of the population is women. To increase literacy rate women must get education. In Pakistan, there were 14 million girls studying in basic education in 2006, compared to 18.3 million boys. (Dr. Lynd
