Problems in Education of Pakistan Education is considered as the cheapest defense of a nation. But the down trodden condition ofeducation in Pakistan bears an ample testimony of the fact that it is unable to defend its ownsector. Though 62 years have been passed and 23 policies and action plans have been introducedyet the educational sector is waiting for an arrival of a savior. The government of PervaizMusharraf invested heavily in education sector and that era saw a visible positive educationalchange in Pakistani society. Now days, the economic situation in Pakistan is under stress andeducation is the worse effected sector in Pakistan. The Constitution of Islamic Republic ofPakistan says, The state of Pakistan shall remove illiteracy and provide free and compulsory secondaryeducat ion within minimum possible period. In Human development Report Pakistan is placed at 136th position for having just49.9% educated populace. The primary completion rate in Pakistan, given by Date Centerof UNESCO, is 33.8% in females and 47.18% in males, which shows that people in the 6thlargest country of the world are unable to get the basic education.

Problems in Education Following are the problems in education in Pakistan.

1. Education System is based on Unequal Lines2.

The educational system of Pakistan is based on unequal lines. Medium of education is differentin both, public and private sector. This creates a sort of disparity among people, dividing theminto two segments.

3. Regional Disparity

Regional disparity is also a major cause. The schools in Baluchistan (The Largest Province ofPakistan By Area) are not that much groomed as that of Punjab (The Largest Province ofPakistan By Population). In FATA, the literacy rate is deplorable constituting 29.5% in malesand 3% in females.

4. Ratio of Gender Discrimination

The ratio of gender discrimination is a cause which is projecting the primary school ratio of boys& girls which is 10:4 respectively. For the last few years there has been an increase in the growthof private schools. That not only harms the quality of education but creates a gap among havesand has not.

4. Lack of Technical Education The lack of technical education is a biggest flaw in the educational policy that has never beenfocused before. Therefore, less technical people mean less.

5. Funds The allocation of funds for education is very low. It is only 1.5 to 2.0 percent of the total GDP. Itshould be around 7% of the total GDP .

6. Untrained Teachers The teachers in government schools are not well trained. People who do not get job in any othersector, they try their luck in educational system. They are not professionally trained teachers sothey are unable to train a nation. 7. Poverty

Poverty is also another factor that restricts the parents to send their children to public or privateschools. So, they prefer to send their children to madrass where education is totally free.

Recently, minister of education announced a new Education policy for that next 10 years. Theinteresting thing is that the previous educational policy from 1998 to 2010 is still not expired.

Although it is projected to give new plans and to make more promises with the nation. It is saidin this policy that all the public schools will be raised up to the level of private schools. No planof action have been discussed, yet a notice is issued to private schools to induct governmentcourse in 5th and 8th class and these classes will bound to take board exams. This disturbedthe students of private sector also.

Solutions for Educational SystemEstimating the value of education, the Government should take solid steps on this issue.Implementation instead of projecting policies should be focused on.Allocation of funds should be made easy from provinces to districts and then to educationalinstitutes. Workshops must be arranged for teachers. Foreign states are using LSS system. Thisshould be inducted in Pakistani schools to improve the hidden qualities of children.Technical education must be given to all the classes. The education board of Punjab has

projected a plan to give tech- education to the children of industrial workers. Promotion of the primary education is the need of time. Teachers, professors and educationists should beconsulted while devising any plan, syllabus or policy.The state seems to give up her responsibility and totally relying on private sector. The need oftime is to bring education in its original form to masses. Burdening students with so many bookswill not work as he will not understand what the world is going to do next moment.Education is the only cure of the instability in the state and can bring revolution through

evolution, by eradicating the social evils.This is how to remove illiteracy in Pakistan .
