Current Private and Public School Education-Pakistan
I believe on the
statement “Education for all” but sometime little bit confused
on believing it because unable to give answers of some questions such as a) Are
all children going to school? b) Has the state a strong learning system?
c) Has the nation one education system? d) Are we trying for betterment in
future? Are our institutions providing quality? We have to realize that the nation has poor education system as compare to other countries of this region.
Millions of children are not going to schools and have to go for labor work.
The nation has divided into two major categories (Private schools for rich people and Public schools for poor people).
Supporters of Private Educational Institutions in Pakistan

| Private School Education |
First, it has been
observed most of parents believe and argument that “Private Institutions are
successful by providing following features but Public have failed.
v Good Results
v Good Facilities
v Discipline
v Student Personality
2nd I
had to attend father’s day at my son’s private school and listened speech of Chief Guest (a
politician) against public culture/system (in the end all participant clapped).
I came back to home and tried to know the reason for, why these people trying
to divide our learning system? Why these people are looking their institutions
as business point of view instead of educating? Why today’s parents don’t want
to send their children for government schools, most probably they want to
listen as “Dad and Mom” instead of “Abu and Ami”. These parents are trying to
underestimate “Urdu” language and giving importance to “English”. It is common
understanding that an English medium student from private school is considered more intelligent (even if
English student has not knowledge).
Weaknesses of Private School Education or Schooling in Pakistan
 |
| Corruption involved in Private Shooling |
The most painful thing that no resolution has been passed or the
government policy for private system
in Pakistan. For example, if I want to open a private education school then no
certification is required, I just need business point and faculty members to start
my business. I will do try to public as much as I can and will earn
accordingly. After 10 years I will be able to have a political statement
as “My School has a standard” in other words middle and lower class
children wouldn't be allowed to enter because only high class people
will be able to pay all dues and expenses. I will have strong position and
understanding with concern board administration/faculty members (involved in
sense of corruption) so would be able to get results according to my desires.
v I will earn as much as I want
v Board administration (involved members in
corruption) will also earn
v Parents will satisfy with results
v Not have Quality
Role of Government for One Education System in Pakistan
Let's discuss interesting ground realities and other side of picture.

| Govt. Role for Education System in Pakistan |
From 1947 we have
experience of different national education policies, the every new government
has changed the direction of these policies and the poor administration of
public schooling is unable to run accordingly. The teachers are unable to
run with new scientific techniques so they should be trained. They have their
own tuition centers/ academies to earn other than salaries.
Suggestions:
We have some suggestions for one education system in Pakistan
v The government should increase GDP at 4% to meet goals
v It needs to expand network of public institutions/ schools in rural areas along with urban
v The NGOs and all stakeholders should try to re-open all public schools which have affected and during terrorist attacks.
v The government should take action against private learning system and pass resolution accordingly.
v Pakistan media should play an important role to promote one education system
v All teachers should be trained so that they can introduce all students with new scientific techniques.
