Involvement of politics in education
(fatima mahmood, karachi)
The word “politics” is actually
the social relations involving intrigues to gain authority power or the
activities and affairs involved in managing a state or government in politics.
But, unfortunately this purely government affair is no more restricted to
government only. In fact, these activities are getting more and more common in
our educational institutions and with a complete negative meaning and sense
which has damaged the real purpose of institutions. the students mainly
youngsters, instead of taking interest in their studies, have diverted their
attention towards political issues. Moreover, the students who wants to
concentrate only on studies are also deeply effected because of such unhealthy
politics.
The political involvement has effected education so badly that students have
indulged in activities like rallies, fights, firing, propaganda against each
other, shouting fruitlessly, wasting their time in such stupid activities,
bunking their classes and much more. It seems as if these young students are of
no importance, other than the tools of politicians through whom, they fulfill
their requirements and get their interest.
The increasing involvement of politics in educational institutions day by day
has transformed them into the root station of the negative political activites.
Management is now unable to manage their responsibilities freely without the
instructions and directions from the effective political party of the area. The
administration staff even can’t do its job without the political pressure of
political parties as even the admission policies are “dictated” by them.
Students who deserve admissions, positions and scholarships, don’t get their
right just because of the influence of today’s politics. The parents whose
children are indulged in political activities instead of studies, are so much
afraid and disappointed about their life and future, which has actually become
uncertain. If this political culture will continue in our educational
institutions then the future of education in our country will not stay bright.
So, in order to save the future of our upcoming generations, we have to end this
political culture from our educational institutions.
