The Impractical Education System of Pakistan

The literacy rate of Pakistan is devastatingly below the line of sanity. However, those who are blessed to be educated in this country are none less than an incorrect scientific experiment. Our population is largely constituted of youth; hence our economic, social as well as cultural development lies on the appropriate upbringing of these youngsters. Only an effective education system can prepare these young guns to compete with the odds of the professional life. Unfortunately the superficial education system lacks the ability to train these young minds for the rough waves of professionalism.

The scarcity of job opportunities and hideously low pay scales shatter the self confidence of any young grad who steps into the professional world. After investing several years in any higher education institute and spending tons of your parents fortune the ROI is way to minimal than expectations. Sadly very few institutions focus on the effective professional skills such as interpersonal communication and basic writing techniques, whereas, majority follows the lifeless academic syllabus. The lack of focus on fundamental skills such as writing or communication holds the students from explaining their point of view of what they have learned from their time invested in attaining these highly professional degrees. The root of this crisis does not lie in the hands of our institutions only but it begins from the very beginning of our academic career, when we first step into this education system.

Our education system can be inspired by the west but keeping in view the geographical, social and cultural environment on priority we cannot simply replicate the system as it is. Our youth in majority requires more focus on technical education as masses belong to the tier 2 classes and hence the average plethora of thesis and typical marketing strategies won’t help them in attaining a better financial status.

Our academic system requires serious modification keeping in view the current job market. We do not only have to prepare our youth as perfect candidate for the job but an individual with a capacity to create jobs – the ability to at least support entrepreneurial ventures if cannot be initiated by themselves.
