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.
