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”.

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.

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.

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
