Essay on Education
Problems of Education
Introduction
Education must be a cheapest and most preceding item of a
nation, and it’s the best weapon of a rustic. Countries that are well developed
during this world have a very strong educational system. Underdeveloped countries
are losing during this effort, especially Pakistan. within the area of
education, Pakistan is lagging behind other countries of South Asia, even less
than Nepal, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. Our education standard is uneven, private
schools follow the different syllabus and public schools follow differently. Our
private schools doing a touch good but our public schools perform badly and
deteriorating its educational standard day by day. there's tons of corruption
within the public sector like cheating in exams, fake results, fake degrees, etc.
Why I even have chosen this topic? the most motivation
behind this the literacy rate of Pakistan. A study said that Pakistan has
48.7% literacy rate which is even but 50%. this is often due to several reasons
like educational problems, corruption in education, etc, that’s why I'm
motivated to conduct a search on educational problems.
I have read some articles on this subject, consistent with
those articles still our population isn't fully acknowledged about the
importance of education especially in rural areas. Although there are some
problems like lack of facilities, teacher training, syllabus and attitude of
the people also but the govt should have enough strong plans to beat these
sorts of problems. The study reflected that the educated, working and economically
sound parents were more interested in Pre-school education. Pre-school
education starts at the age of two or three up to 5 years and youngsters learn
in ‘social learning environments’ (Ormrod, 1999) out of the home. Preschool
education actually results in personality traits and the social development of youngsters within the school environment. Children learn more through
relations with their age fellows. At the early stage of life, children are very
sharp with their minds and that they tend to try to questioning and obtain
understand things easily, that’s why early education is just too essential for
creating them creative, artistic, social and developing communication skills.
In Pakistan, formally education starts at the age of 5 years from grade-1.
Working and economically rich parents like better to send their children to daycare centers, nursery or kindergarten schools at the age of three to 5 years. The private sector expands this facility actually on a commercial basis in urban
areas throughout the country. While public schools, kids sit in pre-primary
(Kachi Class) in multi-grade classrooms that aren't equipped with appropriate
facilities. Parents and youngsters faced problems thanks to a lack of trained
teachers and insufficient facilities in pre-school education centers. Previous
studies attempting to elucidate the low level of educational development in
Pakistan have pointed to a good range of macro social issues from increase and
political instability to feudalism and a scarcity of human rights (Rahman,
2004).
Main problems that I even have found government couldn't
concentrate on and don’t have strong policies to conduct this technique in a better
way. In government schools we don’t have proper facilities for instance
furniture, trained teachers, books aren't available within the market, the
allocation of funds for education are very low. it's just one .5 to 2.0 percent
of the entire GDP; the ratio of gender discrimination may be a cause which is
projecting the first school ratio of boys & girls which is 10:4
respectively. For a previous couple of years, there has been a rise in the
growth of personal schools. That only harms the standard of education but
creates a niche among them and Poverty is additionally another factor that
restricts the oldsters to send their children to public or private schools. So,
they like to send their children to madrassas where education is completely
free.

Review of Literature
The literature review section deals with the summary of
articles that I even have read.
This article has been written by “Mr. Irshad Hussaina and Mr
Sarwat Sultanb” and its title is “Parent’s literacy and pre-school education: a
study of practices and problems of infancy education in Pakistan” during this
article the writers attempt to expose some main problems and root cause
regarding pre-school education in Pakistan. They mentioned a number of problems
through which a number of them I'm describing. consistent with writers working
parents and fogeys who are economically rich are more interested to offer their
children pre-school education that means people have a money problem, they can’t
afford schooling fees. alongside the income problem our schools don't provide
good study environment, we are lacking sophistication room facilities
especially in government schools, our teachers aren't well trained, we aren't
providing good syllabus to our youngsters and make our syllabus interesting in
order that kids show their desire towards studies and don't waste their golden
time. we should always take some measures regarding all the issues because when
kids at their early stage of life, they're very intelligent with their minds
and that they have a propensity to try to inquire and obtain understand
things easily, that’s why early education is just too essential for creating
them creative, artistic, social and developing communication skills. The study
was descriptive in nature, in order that the survey approach was considered more
suitable and adopted to gather the info. The sample size was 120 parents and
therefore the areas were Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and
Bahawalpur Districts. Two research tools a questionnaire on a five-point rating
(Likert) scale and an interview schedule were developed. The interview schedule
was used for a deep understanding of the scenario. the info analyzed on the idea
of the qualitative and quantitative method and mean score. Results were shown in
percentages within the sort of tables. (Mr. Irshad Hussaina and Mr. Sarwat
Sultanb Jan 5,2010).

This article has been written by “Taro Komatsu” and its
title is “Qualitative inquiry into local education administration in Pakistan”
during this article, the author explained that the tutorial development in
Pakistan is extremely low. In the year 2000, the government introduces the decentralization
system to enhance the delivery of basic education which was administering by the government body who take hold of its primary responsibilities. By doing
research he specifically talked about the Northwest Frontier Province of
Pakistan which was found problematic in terms of effective and efficient
delivery of education alongside a shortage of teachers. He finds out many
findings which are interconnected with one another and are mainly cause
educational destruction. The district education office is overloaded with work
handling. Transfers of teachers to different areas are a big issue, teachers want
to try to do a job in their home cities and reasons behind this were categorized
into the following: inconveniences concerning travel and accommodation; cultural
Constraints; and economical constraints. Local education officers seem to put
high main concern on moral development because of the role of public education,
but not keenly request to seek out and satisfy the actual needs of the local
area.
The author utilized ethnographic observational techniques
and semi-structured interviews; both are commonly used qualitative research
methods. The research was conducted in two districts of the NWFP, Pakistan. Two
districts were chosen supported comparative geographical characteristics; one
is urban, and therefore the other is rural. (Taro Komatsu 29, 2009)
This article has been written by “Jo Westbrook, Nazneen Shah
a Naureen Durrani, Clare Tikly, Wasim Khan and Ma´ ire ´ad Dunne” and its the title is “Becoming a teacher: Transitions from training to the classroom within
the NWFP, Pakistan” this text is about the tutorial level of teachers which are
teaching in schools especially just in the case of Northwest Frontier of Pakistan.
Writes tried to seek out the capabilities of teachers, have the center to try to teaching or simply they passing time and generating their income only. With
reference to this, they also consider the conditions of faculties and their
classrooms. Moreover, they carry into light the importance of superior
thought towards the social and professional perspective of the varsity within the educational programs as a way to form continual improvements within the quality
of classroom teaching and learning. Results initiate with the newly qualified
teachers NQT’s describe the importance of what they learned from their training
and the way they implement to the scholars. Three sets of constraints were
taken out from the analysis of the transition from student to teacher. Out of
these three, two were associated with the physical conditions of the faculties
and cultural context of the faculties community. While the third constraint
associated with the professional climate and support for the newly trained
teachers within the varsity. They also give some statistic figures about
literacy rate of Pakistan and people figures I'm just copying from the article
the general literacy rate is 48.7%, with 61.7% male literacy compared to 35.2%
among females (UNESCO, 2005). There are 6.6 million children out of grade
school (Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, 2006). quite half the youngsters
in Pakistan drop out of faculty before completing the fifth grade. on the
average, females remain in class for 1.3 years and males for 3.8 years
(Qureshi, 2003). The methodology they were used may be a small scale collaborative
research study in two state secondary schools, one girl and one boy. Data
was collected from Questionnaires and that they also conducted Focus group
interviews to the people just to strengthen their information. (Jo Westbrook,
Nazneen Shah, Naureen Durrani, Clare Tikly, Wasim Khan and Ma´ ire ´ad Dunne,
29,2009).

This article has been written by “Anjum Halai” and its title
is “Equality or equity: Gender awareness issues in secondary schools in
Pakistan” during this article writer addresses the gender discrimination issue,
this issue strongly affects the standard education in Pakistan. The writer takes
this gender difference from a perspective of social justice and he explained
that in Pakistan boys and girls are taking education separately within the classrooms, therefore, teachers et al. tend to think that there are not any gender
differences. However, beyond this, there are several reasons which create this
issue and affect quality education in Pakistan. The writer talked about the
potential of secondary schooling education in Pakistan. Education for All
(EFA) goals acknowledge that gender equity is additionally a big element of
quality in education (UNESCO, 2003). consistent with the knowledge provided
within the latest UNESCO EFA Global Monitoring Report, in South and West Asia
there are 57 million more children in class in 2007 than in 1999. In 2007,
internet enrolment ratio is 86% (upon 74% in 1999), the gender equality
indicator is 0.96 (upon 0.84 in 1999). In 2007, there have been an estimated 18
million children out of faculty, 58% of whom were girls, an improvement on
figures for 1999 when there have been 39 million children out of faculty, 63%
of who were girls (UNESCO, 2010, pp. 346-347). a problem with numerical index
and measures of gender equality in education is that they are doing not reflect
the inborn biases and inequity in classroom practice which frequently
noticeable cultural and societal patterns of behaviors and established
stereotypical gender character of girls and men. consistent with a writer this is
often only thanks to our old traditions especially in rural areas which
declared girls are prohibited for getting an education. We are stick with give
separate environments to females and males typically at lyceum level, not only
students but we give priority to possess same-sex teachers also. (Anjum Halai
2010)
This article has been written by “Anne Cockcroft, Neil
Andersson, Deborah Milne, Khalid Omer, Noor Ansari, Amir Khan, and Ubaid

Pakistan: A national household survey of enrolment and reasons for selecting
religious schools” writers discussed Madaaris during this article, they
explained there are rumors about madaris that they're the source of terrorists.
Madaris in Pakistan is now a topic of considerable international attention.
variety of reports have expressed concern that a minimum of a number of these
institutions promote religious extremism and terrorism (International Crisis
Group, 2002; Khokhar, 2007; Singer, 2001; Stern, 2000). A recent study of 79
terrorists involved in anti-Western attacks found that only a few had attended
a madrasah (Bergen and Pandey, 2006), but Fair
(2007) has suggested that terrorist groups may selectively
engage better-qualified people for technically demanding tasks. Reliable data
about madaris in Pakistan are limited. Most reports believe secondary data
analysis, or repeat unsubstantiated estimates or claims about madaris. Some
reports suggest very high levels of enrolment into madaris, which they supply a
extensive a part of education in Pakistan (International Crisis Group, 2002;
Singer, 2001). they said consistent with several authors parents send their
children to the madaris thanks to their poverty and failure of state education
system. (Singer, 2001; Smith, 2002). There data collection methodology as
follows madrasah enrolment among 53,960 representative households; 853 focus
groups of oldsters discussed enrolment choices. In 2004, 2.6% of all children
(3.8% of school-going children) aged 5-9 years attended a madrasah. Children
from urban and fewer educated households were more likely to attend a madrasah,
but there was no difference by sex of the kid or household vulnerability. alongside this sample, they held focus groups, discussion groups and analyze the info
through computers and represent it within the sort of diagrams and tables.

10; higher education contains intermediate grades 11 and 12, which results in
tertiary education, two years after which a bachelor’s degree is often earned
this is often the essential educational structure in Pakistan. consistent with
Riaz (2008), three ”streams” have shouldered education provision in Pakistan
since its independence from Britain in 1947: Urdu-medium public schools,
English-medium private schools, and madrasas. The writer also gave the definition
of madrasas that are in Arabic madrasa means “school” We define madrasas as schools
that teach a spiritual curriculum rather than one prescribed by Pakistan
Federal Ministry of Education” (Andrabi et al., 2006). Broad definitions aren't
incorrect, as schools that promote Islamic curricula are in South Asia
generally mentioned as madrasas (Riaz, 2008). But this madaris aren't under
Pakistani government and that they developed their own syllabus although the government announced that Islamic education compulsory in schools. ( Kevin R.
McClure 2009).

Behind all this, education is the main mean of these
luminous expansions. With all this fact we are still far behind during this field.
it's evident from the article prospective that existing information systems in
Pakistan is meant to facilitate the tutorial administrators which aren't
healthy and strategically, and as a result, we aren't capable to smooth the
progress of the tutorial administrators in practical planning and deciding.

EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN” during this article author attempt to compare religious
education and the market-oriented education and also reflect the sort of
educational demand in Pakistan. By concluding this text, we get to understand
that folks prefer religious education over the secular. Because 98% of people want Islamic education as a part of the education syllabus and most of the people believe it as necessary and provides first priority to Islamic
education. Islamic education doesn't mean that folks who are becoming education
from Madrasas are always chosen jihad but most of the individuals who got trained
from Madrasas, choose to manage the mosques. Our parents want to offer their
child religious education, they are doing not deny market-oriented education
but they like madrassas. So it’s a responsibility of the state to require hold
thereon religious institutions and allot them a really high-quality syllabus in
order that our youngsters acquire not only Islamic education but also get
school education. (Matthew J. Nelson, 2006).

has investigated the training and studies strategies of the college student of
Pakistan. There could also be many factors that contribute to the tutorial
success of the scholars like the way to learn, the way to manage the time,
understanding and remembering. After completing research the results weren't
the maximum amount different. this is often thanks to the open availability of
libraries and internet labs where students work together to finish their
assignments and it also helps them to extend their knowledge. First, the semester
system is extremely good for university students because it provides students
their frequent assessment and feedback. The researcher took a sample of 440 students
from 9 faculties of the University of Punjab and people 9 faculties were as follows
Arts and Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Commerce, Economics and
Management Sciences, Education, Engineering and Technology, Law, Life-Sciences,
and Science. The mean score of all the scales was calculated for comparison with the American percentile norm. ANOVA was applied for comparison of all the schools
on LASSI scales. Later on, LSD was applied. the most purpose of the study was
just to seek out the need for college kids to enhance their skills to avoid
serious problems succeeding in university. (Hafiz M. Iqbal, Shahida Sohail, and
Shumaila Shahzad, 2010).

Conclusion
In this research, I had studied around 12 different research articles on the issues of education in Pakistan. The titles and authors' names of those 12 articles are given under the heading of references. Now I'm concluding my research as my topic is about educational problems in Pakistan, first of all, I'm declaring a number of the most important problems regarding education which Pakistan has faced then give their solution.
These problems are as follows:
The first biggest problem that I felt is that the parents
literacy, still now our people don't enough aware of the role of education
during a society but this problem mostly exist during a rural area of
Pakistan.
The second problem is regarding the income of individuals which
suggests people don't afford the education fees of their children this problem
is particularly for the scholars who are becoming their education but there are
people that even couldn't afford the pre-school education also.
The third is about the conditions of faculties, classrooms and
its environment is so pathetic that it frustrating students from education.
within the same, we ran in need of faculty and don't have well-trained teaching
staff. Then we have got an excellent problem of gender discrimination and therefore
the last but not least is our academic policies we just spend 2.6% of our total
budget on education.
There is always an answer to urge obviate all the issues so
we've to require steps to get rid of our problems regarding education. First of
all, the government should organize e teams, conducting programs on TV during which
they need to inform their nation about the importance of education. this stuff
especially neutralizes the order that people will that of responsibility and send their children to the faculties. The government should give the government education subsidiesyton order that people easier that expense to s of education. The government should make soThe governments on the
topic of education and also the budget in order that people will get education
easily. By increasing within the educational budget we will make more
libraries, chemical labs and engineering labs and may boost our research work
also.
