Importance of education

Islam has given us education with knowledge which has no limits. This importance of education is basically for two reasons. Education makes man a right thinker. Without education, no one can think properly in an appropriate context you. It tells man how to think and how to make decision. The second reason for the importance of education is that only through the attainment of education, man is enabled to receive information from the external world.

The educational system of Pakistan is based on unequal lines. Medium of education is different in

both, public and         

         

Problems in Education

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.    FundsThe 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 TeachersThe 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.

Education is considered as the cheapest defense of a nation. But the down trodden condition of education in Pakistan bears an ample testimony of the fact that it is unable to defend its own sector.

Following are the problems in education in Pakistan:

Educational Problems and their Solutions;

In Pakistan education is very expensive due to the shortage of public educational institutes.

Solution: . There is lots of home tuition available for to teach students for 2 or 3 hours and earn money

Students can also do a part time job

Financial Problem:

They are the most unguided students in the world. Neither the parent due to their ignorance due to which they can’t chose proper subject and proper filed nor the teachers.

Solution Students should get basic knowledge about any profession before deciding to take it as their future profession.

Lack of guidance

Traffic is a very common problem of the citizens of Pakistan. You will see traffic jams on the roads at morning and evening timings.

Solution Government thinks about the traffic problems of students.

Transportation

In our colleges and universities students got bookish and theoretical knowledge but to get job they need practical knowledge and skills..

Solution This problem can be solved very easily by students themselves. Students can join a company or organization during their studies for the experience.

Difference in Theory & practical world

Fear complex

. Libraries are filled with irrelevant books, which too are kept under lock & key out of the reach of

students.

Solution : Libraries must be equipped with such books which are relevant to needs of students. So that students get benefit from them.

Absence of appropriate textbooks

Students are physically stressed .on reaching schools they are subjected to physical punishments

Solution There should not be home work so that students get time for other recreational activities this will ultimately leads to healthy

mind & healthy body.

Stress

In Pakistan, female students face many problems as usually their family doesn’t allow them to study in

co-education. Most of the girls don’t feel comfortable with co-education.

Solution : It’s the responsibility of the Government to establish separate institutes for female students so that they can continue their

education in a comfortable environment in spite of wasting their capabilities at home

Co-Education

Students usually have to study in unhealthy and un-friendly environment. As sometime the fellows and teachers are very un-friendly and behave rudely. Students can’t study at home due to certain reasons as load shedding or have to do some

domestic households etc

Solution: It’s the responsibility of the teacher to create a healthy & friendly environment so that students

can ask any question from the teacher. A healthy & friendly environment not only develop interest in the

studies but also give confidence to the students.

Unhealthy
