We have observed that near 62 percent girls are out of school as compare to boys 27 percent. The government and other stakeholders are struggling at different platforms for female education /wrights in the country. They are performing well to make strong role in economy and other fields of life. In this article we will discuss about standard and different education barriers in Pakistan for females.

    Importance of Women Education



Women as Leader

  In Islam a woman has full right to get education and there should not be any restriction at all levels. Any human society can’t suffer without mental development of females. It is very important to connect social relations on the basis of equality with others. A society is responsible to provide quality learning and training opportunities to children.

     

   Pakistani Girl's Education and Literacy Rate

  The problems of women’s education started with independence of Pakistan in 1947. It has been observed increasing literacy rate at 49 percent by 1992 for boys but was just 22 percent for girls but fast increment after 2000. According to UN survey in 1990 only 30 girls of primary schools were present out of every 100.

    Economic Benefits through Female Education

Women's role in economy

     Today a large number of females are working in different sectors, industries and have significant impact on economic development by providing desired results. They should provide all opportunities to offer services in all fields of life by ignoring gender inequality in society.

   

    Barriers to Women’s Education in Pakistan

Some areas like FATA, North Waziristan and other parts of KPK are affected through terrorism. The girls are threatened by extremists and terrorists; they are not allowed to go for training even for shopping. From 1947 in different decades maximum girl’s schools have destroyed during terrorism and extremism in these areas.

Flaws of Pakistan Education System

Introduction to Pakistan Education

      Pakistan Education System is weak as compare to other countries in the region and have to joint struggle to move forward. From 1947 Pakistan education system is facing problems in all decades but little bit have been solved. By William Butle Yeats “Education is not the filling of pail, but the lighting of a fire” and “The whole purpose of education is turn mirrors into window” by Sydney J. Harris. There are various reasons of flaws of Pakistan Education System, in this article we will discuss that reasons and try to provide best suggestions accordingly so that have a stronger education system in Pakistan as we believe on “Education for All".

    We should have keep in mind the following point for stronger Pakistan Education System.

    Basic Education System in Pakistan   

Basic Education in Pakistan

 

    It is most important the awareness of basic education in the society, for this purpose media can play an important role. The ratio of Primary enrollment can be increase by starting this campaign e.g print and electronic media can spread this message in rural areas also. The most important is to aware the importance of women education as Pakistani women are playing an important role in every field of life. We would be shocked to know that near about 7 million children are not going to school in primary stage. However Pakistan has a plan to spend at least 4 to 5 percent of GDP on education system

.

    Public Education in Pakistan

    The Governments of Pakistan in every decade have failed to groom the standard of “Public education schools” as well as system. Due to high level of corruption in all departments of education, students are unable to get quality education in public schools. The administration is not performing well and accountability is missing at all levels. As we well aware about it that many of Pakistan’s government schools have closed in our rural areas especially. By analyzing we found following flaws in Public schools.

·      The teachers of government schools are not properly prepared and much qualified; due to these flaws they can’t deliver a good message and introduce the students with new scientific techniques.

·       The teachers not concentrate and treat to each student equally in the class, due to this behavior student feel underestimate.

·         The government is not ready to spend or increase GDP ratio on education system.

·         The students of government schools have not many facilities like library, Practice or training centers.

·     The children of rich people are going to “Private Schools” instead of “Government Schools” due to low education system.

·       Due to low education standard in government schools, student would not be able to participate in competition of life.

Private Sector Education System in Pakistan

The private education sector is little bit providing good and quality education to the students as compare to government schools. The private education sector is most important factor in improving of “Pakistan Education System”. The private education sector is struggle in terms of increasing no of schools and facilities for betterment of education standard in Pakistan. However there are also some flaws in private sector education system as follows.

·         Due to much expensive schools only rich families are going to private schools so, need to discourage this concept.

·         The administration of private sector treats the education as a business so parents have to pay accordingly.

·         Most of the teachers are not well trained but getting good salary so unable to introduce the student with new techniques and training

·         The private education sector is not willing to compete the global standards

·         Due to co education system in private sector adults are taking interest each other and wasting their times instead of education.

      Poverty affects on Pakistan Education System



Labor Child in Pakistan



     Another big flaw of Pakistan education is “Poverty” that bound the parents to send their children to go to schools.  We have already discussed that millions of children are not going to schools and millions of mothers are unable to feed due to this course. To reduce the poverty ratio all participants e.g. The Government, NGOs, Private and Public Sectors should come forward and try do some thing.

     Conclusion/Suggestions:

     By analyzing the “Pakistan Education System” we are now able to conclude that Pakistan education system is weak as compare to other countries in the region and has to do some bold steps to provide quality education.

·         The government should increase GDP level as much as possible

·         There should be equal opportunity for women to perform well in this field

·         Private schools should not be much expensive so that poor child can go that private schools also

·         The teachers should be well trained and educated  so that can deliver lectures properly

·         The number of students in the class should be according to capacity of class room so that teacher can attend to each student properly

·         The government and other institution should come forward to reduce poverty line in the country.

System of Education in Pakistan

Current Education System of Pakistan - Culture

Education in Pakistan has progressively turned into a matter of global concern. Lack of quality learning and training is opening the doors of terrorism, unemployment, over-population and poverty. The World Bank says almost a large portion of Pakistan population can't even read or write. There are many reasons behind this situation and will have to face issues in future as well until taking of some bold steps. Let’s try to highlight the current education system in Pakistan and some positive suggestions for betterment in future.

Enrollment Rate in Primary Education of Pakistan

We all know that primary enrollment rate is always key learning for a nation; here we have sketch with the help of a survey “Pakistan Social and Living Standards Management, 2011-12”.



Education System

 

Graphical Snapshot

Enrollment Rate at Primary Lever (Percent)
Province/Area	2010-11			2011-12
	Male	Female	Total	Male	Female	Total
Pak	60	53	56	60	54	57
Punjab	62	59	61	65	62	64
Sindh	57	48	53	53	47	50
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa	57	45	51	59	48	53
Baluchistan	56	35	47	48	28	39

From the above chart we are able to observe that overall primary enrollment rate increased from 56 to 57 percent during 2012 but overall level decreased during the same period of time.

 Literacy Rate – Education in Pakistan

When we talk about a strong system then we should not forget the impact of illiteracy rate all over the country, this rate is increasing day by day especially in rural areas and millions of children are out of school. Let’s have sketch of literacy rate throughout history.

Domestic Comparison Literacy Rate (Percent)
Province Name	1972	1981	1998	2012
Punjab	20.7	27.4	46.6	71
Sindh	30.2	31.5	45.3	69
KPK	15.5	16.7	35.4	60
Baluchistan	10.1	10.3	26.6	50

From above chart Punjab is leading and there was good period from “1981 to 1998”. All provincial governments as well as federal government should come forward to increase literacy rate all over the country.

By comparing with Asian countries we are not standing at little bit good position.

Global Comparison Literacy Rate (Percent)
County Name	Adult	Youth
Pak	68	71
India	60	71
Bangladesh	57	68
Nepal	49	61
Bhutan	53	74

By comparing with other countries we are not standing at little bit good position.

Role of Educational Institutions



Government Role in Pakistan Education

Our current culture is genuinely imperfect neglecting to achieve the good standards; hundreds of various schools have low quality of training especially in rural areas. A percentage of the schools don't even have the fundamental assets like black boards to run their business, no satisfactory furniture like seats and tables. If we want to set good standards of education, all stakeholders have to come forward to take bold steps.

Conclusion:

In the end we are able to conclude that education in Pakistan not much stronger as compare to other countries of our region, we have to work in different fields for stronger output. It needs to monitor in our rural areas on regular base. Finally, the government, parents, teachers, students, school management and media have to come on same point and participate for betterment in future.

Suggestions to improve Pakistan Education System:

  After reviewing on all, we have following suggestions

·         v The government should increase GDP growth rate at 7%

v Educational institutions should provide quality teachers to produce quality students

v Media should participate and start campaign to aware about importance of education in rural areas

v Parents should monitor the activities of their children and take action accordingly.

v Teachers should take classes regularly and attend each student

v All the students should attend classes and do their work properly
