Education System Is Based On Unequal Lines: Ratio of Gender Discrimination

The educational system in Pakistan faces several issues that have led to inequalities. There is a disparity between public and private schools due to differences in medium of education. Regional disparities also exist, with schools in less populous provinces like Baluchistan receiving less resources than Punjab. Gender discrimination is also a factor, with only 10 girls enrolled in primary school for every 4 boys. Additionally, a lack of focus on technical education, low funding levels for education at only 1.5-2.0% of GDP, untrained teachers, and poverty restricting access to education have all negatively impacted the system. Recent policy announcements have not adequately addressed solving these deep-rooted problems facing Pakistani education.

Education System is based on


Unequal Lines
The educational system of Pakistan is based on unequal lines. Medium of education is
different in both, public and private sector. This creates a sort of disparity among people,
dividing them into two segments.

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

3. 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 growth of private schools. That not only harms the quality of education
but creates a gap among haves and has not.

4. Lack of Technical Education


The lack of technical education is a biggest flaw in the educational policy that has never
been focused 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. It should 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 other sector, they try their luck in educational system. They are not professionally
trained teachers so they are unable to train a nation.

7. Poverty
Poverty is also another factor that restricts the parents to send their children to public or
private schools. So, they prefer to send their children to madrassas where education is
totally free.
Recently, minister of education announced a new Education policy for that next 10
years. The interesting 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 said in this policy that all the public schools will be raised up to the
level of private schools. No plan of action have been discussed, yet a notice is issued to
private schools to induct government course in 5th and 8th class and these classes will
bound to take board exams. This disturbed the students of private sector also.

Solutions for Educational System


Estimating 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 educational institutes.
Workshops must be arranged for teachers. Foreign states are using LSS system. This
should 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 be consulted while devising any plan, syllabus or policy. The state
seems to give up her responsibility and totally relying on private sector. The need of
time is to bring education in its original form to masses. Burdening students with so
much books will 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
Pakist
