A Critical Analysis of education system in Pakistan

Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.

When students think of educational schooling, they think of grueling hours of sitting in a classroom and getting lectured about things they do not believe they will ever apply to the real life. Maybe it is just me. Not many students in the more richer and developed countries will ever realize how privileged they are. It is so easy to say that they do not like or want something even when it is presented to them. However, there are still places that are not given the opportunity to improve their lifestyles because they do not have an access to schooling. Access to education is a very important factor to bridge the gap between developed and underdeveloped countries. It is also the reason that humans have gotten this far in history. Without teaching

At first thought, I thought that our education system was alright, but I was only thinking about my school in particular, where there are not many fights or serious altercations or problems and the school is kept in a nice condition. However, I was on Youtube one day and saw a video about some of the most dangerous schools in North America and realized that not all high schools are the same and that there were a lot of flaws in the way that our education system favours to the higher class and the lower class can manage with what they get. It is also similar with learning styles - kids who are able to learn through memorization and reading excel while kids who are visual learners or need fundamental objects in order to understand the concept being taught suffer. This is also negative for students, like myself, who cannot always get exactly what they are thinking down

In every civilization in the world, education proves to be the main force of advancement. This is especially true in Islamic

Proud parents happily celebrating as their children are able to move onto a university level education, and continue into the job world well-equipped and ready to bring in a substantial income. Families escaping poverty after generations of impoverished relatives. If only life in Pakistan reflected this utopia. The reality is that thousands of tired, hungry children still struggle to get to school and receive a proper education. Families cannot send their kids, and the cycle of poverty proves inescapable. Until the government intervenes, there is no way for the country to pull itself out of an impoverished state and bring prosperity for future generations. With minimal federal intervention, Pakistan could swiftly increase the standard of living and level of education for its citizens. Every day, more and more young girls and boys could be trekking to newly constructed school buildings with a lunch in hand and the realization that they will learn substantial and relevant information with their newly appointed teacher. Literacy rates will spiral upwards, and the poverty strain will ease slightly. Although it will take time, this improved world can be achieved through the assistance of the federal government to already existing groups working to alleviate

Therefore, the schools don’t have enough money to give out a good curriculum for teaching. A great education is critical in today’s society a person needs at least some type of college degree to get a decent

Many states across the country are experiencing teacher shortages. Without enough teachers, we can not successfully educate our children. According to Glori Chaika “Forty-two states issue emergency credentials to people who have taken no education courses and have not taught a day in their lives. Many teachers are hired based solely on their experience leading church or camping groups.” (Chaika) Due to the shortages, States are allowing those who are not even qualified to teach. One can not believe that children are being educated as best as they can be, if those teaching them have no experience or training before hand. Another problem is that teachers are not being place in the fields were they can perform at their best, Glori Chaika also states that “One-fourth of new teachers -- if they are licensed -- are not licensed to teach in the field they are teaching.” (Chaika) Many teachers have very little knowledge on the subject they are teaching, “About 55 percent of students taking physics in the United States, for example, are taught by someone who never majored or minored in the subject.” ( Asimov) As a result of the current teacher shortage, the quality of America’s educational system has gone down. People are being hired with no teaching experience and teachers are being forced to teacher subjects that they are not familiar with. Adding to the current teacher shortage is the problem of teacher

There are many countries where culture or religion can sometimes deny certain peoples ' right to have an education, restricting them from going to school to learn. Those countries don’t see the benefits people can get from learning new languages, or learning their own history. One of these countries that do such restrictions of education is Pakistan. In the country of Pakistan, some people think that there is no use of education, it 's unnecessary

The education system in the United States could definitely use some serious changes. As of now, what we are doing is not producing the results it should and it would seem that it is time for a change. But the last thing this change should be is a federal regulation over national curriculum and testing, if anything, that would increase the current problem. There are numerous issues with the current education system to be addressed. One of the main focuses will be on its lack of concerns for students’ lives and how much they are truly affected by the education they receive. As well, some possible solutions to be considered for the future of this country’s education because staying on this path won’t lead to any improvements.

In our society education is so often overlooked; children sometimes don’t want to go to school and almost everyone has the opportunity to get a proper education. But as shown in Parvana education in Afghanistan is controlled and oppressed, only to be taught to some members of society and even then it is only taught in a way that the Taliban sees fit. In the book Parvana, she reads letters to people who are unable to for themselves, her father gets dragged away for having a foreign education and they banned education for girls. Because of all this the Taliban have been able to control their society easily.

The mountains are so high that transportation in the region is very difficult. The air can be so thin that some of the farmers in the Hindu Kush region have to slice their donkey’s nostrils open so that they can breathe easier due to the thin air (Stones into Schools p.27). The extreme terrain is a major obstacle for creating schools in the region, which is why the government didn’t build any there. Some winters in that area can last from September to June, making all transportation even more difficult. Pakistan is experiencing a similar problem. Many regions in Pakistan are geographically isolated by various geographic features and poor roads. Thus, remote areas are more difficult to access and build schools in.

Women’s visions in life are not nurtured, and this kills because they could have been the next neurosurgeon or teacher. Also, it is not in the people’s interest to seek education for their children. The older folk generation does not believe education, in any way, is important to succeed in life (PBS). Their belief is that if their daughters are good in their chores and duties as women of the house they will marry well. The Middle East needs its own education system because the Western style does not quite adjust to the people. Shortage of funds is the main principle as to why

Pakistan is on the countries with more children uneducated. Literacy is one of the most important skills needed in a daily basis. How can they let their children down so bad? Getting an education means getting closer to achieving their life goals, but if they don’t get educated they will stay ignorant for the rest of their lives. In the book, I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, Malala fights for education and shows the things Pakistan needs to work on to improve their education. In the article, How Pakistan Fails Its Children by Mosharraf Zaidi, he shows many different ways the children are let down by their own country. Based on what I know about education in Pakistan, they can improve it by lowing violence and allowing all children to attend.

There is also a need to change in the internal culture of the school. From informal interview it would appear some teachers due to frustration and their voices not being heard have given up on themselves and students alike.

Education system is still 50 years old; in short it is right when they say Pakistan is one of the developing country.
