Essay:
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of vassal” (Socrates)
The present system of education is rotten to the core. Since the creation of Pakistan, there has always been a dream from the masses that the prevailing system of education should be overhauled. Today we are facing many educational problems.
First, our education is not based on Islamic principles. It is too materialistic in its outlook. The result is chaos in society. The students of today are disrespectful to their parents and elders. The present indiscipline in the schools and colleges can only be cured if the students are made familiar with the Islamic principles. We should base our education on Islamic Ideology. We should pursue western science, but we should not forget that we are Muslims. Now ‘Islamiat’ as a subject has been made compulsory in schools and colleges.
Secondly, Pakistan is a developing country. We need more and more skilled persons. We need doctors, engineers, agriculturalists and technicians in all spheres of life. Education in humanities should be kept on but it should be restricted only to few ones. This will solve the problem of unemployment to a great extent. Moreover, we will be able to get rid of the foreign experts.
“Educating the mind without the heart is no education at all.” (Aristotle)
Thirdly, the need for suitable banks is being felt in Pakistan badly. Most of the books are foreign published. Some are published in Pakistan but they are not up-to the mark. The learned men and scholars in our country must devote themselves to the writing of new books according to the level of students. History will have to be re-written with special reference to the achievements of our national heroes. Modern Urdu literature should be given place in the syllabus. Tests must have a scientific approach in them. They should preach our national ideology.
Fourthly, the most burning question is that of the national language. There are many languages in our country. Urdu, English, Punjabi and many more. These languages should be developed to high standards so that these may become suitable medium of expression. But a word of caution is necessary. We should not turn off English at once.
Lastly, our system of examination needs a drastic change. Our examination is not a faultless test of one’s ability. Good marks and divisions in the examination depend on cramming. Good students may fall ill and secure poor third division; a poor student may cram a few questions or MCQs and get a high first division. Our education should discourage cramming work. It should take all possible steps to engender originality of thoughts and an aptitude for research work. Our education department should reshape our whole education system from nursery to the university level.
