In underdeveloped nation, aside from the political and economic issues which almost always hold center stage in political campaign, perhaps no other item has as much appeal to the masses as that of universal and free education. Pakistan was left with few resource, economic and educational at the time of independence in 1947, so that the building process of a complete and modern system of education necessarily had to be a slow one.
Despite, all problems Pakistan is growing rapidly in education especially in the field of science. Many reforms occur for making Pakistan science conscious and many organizations are working in this field on volunteer basis and they are organizing workshops, seminars and events. The major objective of these events is to encourage and motivate young scientists of the country to promote sense of science and technology with the support of technocrats, industrialists, science lovers, intellectuals, government organizations, and the public at national and local levels. Though, Pakistan is not much conscious about science because of (American Educational Research Journal, Oct 2012) low participation rates in the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics STEM. The participation rates should touch the

Scientists, technologists and science lover should be engaged for making Pakistan science conscious. Science subject can be promoted as compulsory subject at primary and secondary levels for better understanding of science concepts. It is necessary to organize and conduct workshop and seminars in both private and public schools. Not only in the schools but also in
Reading Questions 1) Explain the life and characteristics ascribed to Muhammad. According to Smith, why was he called ‘the True,’ ‘The Upright,’ ‘the Trustworthy One’ (Smith 221-28)? Also explain the details of Muhammad’s call to serve Allah. What specifically was he called to do? Lastly, what was the original message Muslims believe the angel Gabriel conveyed to Muhammad?
Rachel Mendleson 's report in the August 15th issue titled, "Raising Young Einsteins," highlights Youth Science Canada 's Smarter Science framework and Program Director Mike Newnham 's work to engage Ontario teachers in its use - as well as photos from Canada-Wide Science Fair 2011. Framing the challenge, Mendleson notes that: "Though neither well defined nor understood, innovation is widely believed to directly influence a company’s (and country’s) bottom line. And yet, when it comes to instilling this trait in our youth, the evidence suggests that Canada’s on a slow slide to mediocrity.... Despite maintaining stable, above-average scores, Canada’s relative ranking on the OECD’s prestigious Programme for International Student Assessment,
Science is too straight, according to Manil Suri, who wrote an article expressing his thoughts and feelings on the reasons why science is straight. I agree with Suri when he expresses how STEM is slowly changing to today’s times, not recognizing its L.G.B.T. members, and how it provides an unwelcoming environment. I presumed this due to how Suri used rhetorical strategies to support his claims to convince the reader. In the article, "Why Is Science
Science is a study that brings together people from all different realms. It provides people a chance to get involved, and expand human understanding of the universe. In Disrupting Science, by Kelly Moore, a new perspective on this seemingly spectacular opportunity that is science is provided to readers. Their eyes are opened up to the non-scientists, and how they as a group shaped the world. With strategically placed word choice, figurative language, structural evidence, and key ideas, Moore concludes her enticing book in a way that captivates readers, and looks forward to the future for a science for everyone.
Tracking patterns and learning the history behind things such as different machines, diseases, and concepts from the past allows us to advance studies, farther our understandings, and could potentially unlock answers for questions we have in the STEM world. Not only does humanities provide perspective, it rewards individuals with the skills required for self-teaching, self-critical reflection, and adaptability (Strauss, 2012). These functions are essential in order to be an independent learner, thereby continuing to extend and expand one's scientific knowledge and ability to teach throughout their professional career. Humanities also helps inform us of the needs of society and provide important considerations for scientists to learn from and appreciate, including things such as considering whether he or she chooses what projects to undertake and be a part of or what to work on (Dalbert,
How exciting would the world be if everyone was either a scientist or mathematician? What would the world be like? Of course there will be a bountiful supply of scientific breakthroughs thank we can bank on, but what how will all of the other aspects of the world fare? As of currently, all across the country there has been a jolt of urgency for the incorporation of a more STEM based education in schools. A more “STEM” based education like the type described in We Can’t All Be Math Nerds and Science Geeks by Fareed Zakaria narrows student’s once broad-based learning foundation and directs it into a more specific line of learning, which is the reasoning behind Zakaria’s disapproval of the movement.
This setting will not only me to communicate and develop with other students holding similar interests, but also those who are selected as some of the most advanced in these fields. It will help me build connections to pursue collective investments into the evolutionary future of human technology and engineering, where idea advancement is crucial. In addition
Science and technology have had a major impact on society. It has changed the way we interact, transport, and can even change the length and quality of life itself. Science has changed our learning abilities too, we now have ipads at our elementary school and it helps students
Achieving an accurate education system is not an easy function for any nation. The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way by Amanda Ripley, is a wonderful book that focusing on the important of the education and how can the changing on the education system and schools reforms change the whole country for the best. This book had a positive impact on me, it gives me hope that each country in the world can create stronger and more creative education system; a system that can achieve students and serves both equity and rigor. Importantly, that can happen if we think first what are our educational problems and how can we resolve them in a smart and wise way that can help us to have magnificent results that benefits everyone, the
Published in Pertanika, a social science journal, the article is primarily geared towards Indian University experts; however, much can be learned by U.S. administrators in intertwining the social sciences and STEM fields. As opposed to suggesting a separate focus on humanities like educators in Cohen’s article did, Sarkar proposes a mixture of important themes to be incorporated in engineering education. In BTHS, not everyone has the opportunity to take humanities courses such as sociology or psychology. Students who are in engineering majors, typically only take the required English and Social Studies courses. Incorporating lessons from humanities into engineering classes at Tech is an idea that will allow students to be more well-rounded, and demonstrate to students the importance of social science
Popular culture is very influential, and without having diversity in characters, different types of people are not represented and do not have a voice. This is not the case in the series Star Trek: Voyager, as there are many diverse characters. For example, as the Star Trek series’ first female captain, Kathryn Janeway has inspired me and women all over the world, and has left a lasting impression that a woman can be just as good of a leader and a scientist that a man can. Having diverse characters is important because it can simultaneously break stereotypes and give inspiration to others.
The world has evolved greatly. With globalization, the world has become a planetary village. This planetary village rely on human beings with a certain level of education. A good education has become an indispensable key However, for a good education, an excellent system of education is needed.
Declared in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN, 1948), education is recognized as a fundamental human right and a key component contributing to the development of societies. Yet there are many people on earth have not been able to get educated. In order to solve the problem, it is proposed that all education (including primary, secondary and higher education) should be free all over world and governments should be those funding the tuition fees. This paper critically hightlights the significances and also rebut the objection of free education. Before further analysis, the writer is going to point out some definitions and add facts and figures.
Education as an instrument of social change: One of the most formidable and potent tool of social change is Education. The society can bring about pertinent and much sought after desirable changes through education and modernize itself. By creating the right kind of ambience and by providing ample opportunities and experiences, education can enable an individual to cultivate and groom himself for adjustment with the emerging needs and philosophy of the changing society and aid in the can transformation of society as a whole.

Malcolm X once said “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepared for it today.” In the western world education plays a vital role in shaping our future; it determines if we will survive or fail in the world we created for ourselves. Our world is constantly changing and it requires a society that is well versed in understanding the problems deriving from cultural differences and tolerance of one another’s beliefs and perceptions. With the power of education we are able to deal with the problems of economic, government, religion and culture differences.
