Education System of Pakistan, Problems and Solutions

Education system in Pakistan in really bad condition. Education is the first and foremost condition for the development of any nation. Just look at the history of nations, every nation of the world reached at the zenith of prestige and power with development in education. Government educational institutions are not delivering due to corruption and lack of funds. Private educational institutions in Pakistan are very expensive and that too are not productive for country.
Lack of planning and its rigorous implementation have spoiled our educational system. Our universities are producing a mass of good-for-nothing and half backed educated persons without any propose and planning. Our students seek degrees, not knowledge. The government may be increasing number of colleges and universities but is neglectful of the worsening standard of education it the country. No Pakistani university is therefore seen in the top 1000 universities of the world.


Universities should be research centres only and must not be allowed to conduct graduate or pot-graduate examinations. Lack of funding is also a problem. According to UNO standards a country should allocate four percent of its GDP towards education but here in Pakistan we are just allocating less than two percents of GDP. Educational budget should be increased at par with international standards.
Followings are some suggestions to improve the education system in Pakistan:

1- English language should be the medium of instruction from beginning.
2- All the colleges should have PhD faculty.
3- The student-teacher ratio should be brought down to 15:1 from current 40:1. It means to increase the number of teachers. The standard of teaching also needs to be raised and teachers should only be qualifies and competent persons.
4- Primary education should be made compulsory and free of cost (it is already free of cost but not compulsory).
5- Teachers should be given more financial resources by increasing their pays.
6- Universities professors should be limited to research related activities.
7- Government should strictly check all private educational institutions.
8- Students should be given more scholarships and government should support the intelligent and outstanding students.
The dilemma here in Pakistan is that students are genius but they use their intelligence in negative way hence contribute nothing towards the development of country. Another problem with Pakistan is brain drain. Capable and outstanding professionals prefer foreign jobs instead of serving in their own country. This is due to the low financial output and indifferent attitude of government towards them. Recently Government of Paksitan decided to privatise its educational system.Government should need to provide them facilities and special financial packages so that they prefer to stay in their own country.

    Hello…..
    i m a student of second year and proceeding towards admission in university. For that i require perfect knowlege about my chosen field i.e. computer engineering. I want to know the difference b/w comp science, computer engineering and software enginnering……… plz tell me about their comparative demands, market value in future, which is greater?, adverticement tags for each above field and what are their jobs – show examples ……. last plz put these signs here where suitable > , < …..
    COMPUTER ENG_____COPM SCI_____SOFTWARE ENG. THANKS PLZ ALSO SENT ME UR COMMENTS AT THIS……………victoraft@yahoo.com

    • software engineering means to develop software and to become programmer. demand of programmers is increasing in Pakistan with rapid expansion of websites and other internet media. computer science and computer engineering are almost synonyms. it includes computer hardware , hardware designing etc , the term commuter science is vast and includes many fields.

    Computer science is closely related to a number of fields. These fields overlap considerably, though important differences exist

    Computer engineering is the analysis, design, and construction of computer hardware.
    Computer graphics is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.
    Computer programming or software development is the act of writing program code.
    Information science is the study of data and information, including how to interpret, analyze, store, and retrieve it. Information science started as the scientific foundation for communication and databases.
    Information security is the analysis and implementation of information system security, including cryptography.
    Information systems (IS) is the application of computing to support the operations of an organization: operating, installing, and maintaining the computers, software, and data.
    Lexicography focus on the study of lexicographic reference works and include the study of electronic and Internet-based dictionaries.
    Linguistics is the study of languages, converging with computer science in such areas as programming language design and natural language processing.
    Logic is a formal system of reasoning, and studies principles that lay at the very basis of computing/reasoning machines, whether it be the hardware (digital logic) or software (verification, AI etc.) levels.
    Management information systems (MIS) is a subfield of information systems, that emphasizes financial and personnel management.
    Mathematics shares many techniques and topics with computer science, but is more general. In some sense, CS is the mathematics of computing.
    Software engineering emphasizes analysis, design, construction, and testing of useful software. Software engineering includes development methodologies (such as the waterfall model and extreme programming) and project management.
