THE STATE OF EDUCATION

(IMRAN KAMAL, KARACHI)

Now a days its very difficult to get education for Pakistani.

The quality of human resource plays a critical role in the rise and fall of nations, and human resource can be channeled and developed in the right direction with the help of proper education. A nation's overall position and its standing in the comity of nations are, to a large extent, determined by the standards of its educational system. Since education is a means for the development of personality and character, it is not merely about gaining knowledge and mastering science and technology and control of information; it is also concerned with the nation's belief system, culture and civilization, and values. Education represents, simultaneously, a nation's past, present, and future.

Comprehensive education ensures the development of the individual's character and national values, as well as their continuity. With regard to the objectives of education, rightly set priorities and a focus on long-term goals instead of quick results directs personal development of individual and collective growth to the desirable, required path. Gradual but lasting development, evenhanded growth of both the individual and the society, balanced and good international relations, universal human welfare, and continuous progress toward self-reliance without adverse effects for the environment are not possible without quality education.

Today, even developed countries are worried with respect to the situation of education. In addition to their students’ poor performances in the subjects of science and mathematics, they are facing a situation of ever-increasing rates of crime, waywardness, and the widespread neglect of moral values among their youth. This article attempts to shed light on vital aspects of Pakistan's educational scenario so as to enable readers to appreciate the enormity of the country's challenges as seen against the historical background of the system of education that is currently in place.
