interfere with my education.”

Education is the backbone of every nation. Many countries have carved their
names in the history of the world because of their well educated society and
citizens. Education is the delivery of knowledge and skill.According to literacy
definition “the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction,
especially at a school or university”.
50% of population of Pakistan is literate but the reality is quite different.
This 50% of the population is unaware of modern techniques and technologies. The
education system of Pakistan is responsible for it. The present education system
of Pakistan has failed to fulfill the requirement of society. The failure of
education system in Pakistan is due to number of reasons. Few of them along with
their remedies are discussed below:
• no marit system
There is no any merit system; teachers and other staff are appointed by the
ministers on their own wishes.
• There is no any accountability;
a large number of ghost school and ghost teachers are listed in the documents.
They are receiving funds and pays, but, in reality they did not exists.
• Rural areas
the buildings of public schools are mostly held by Waderas and Feudal. They use
them as marriage halls, otaks, bethaks etc.
• Elite Class Schools (private schools)
Today, even poor prefer to send their child in these private schools but because
of high fee structure many aspirants are unable to part this Education System.
It is generally accepted that, the standard of Elite Class Education System is
more reliable and first-rate than Government schools. There is accountability,
transparency and checking system.
