Pakistan education system  is generally divided into five levels:-

 

1) Primary (Grades one to Grade 5)

 

 The standard national system of education is mainly inspired from the British System. Pre-School education is designed for 3-5 years old and usually consists of three stages (Play Group, Nursery and Kindergarten (KG)). After pre-school education, students go through junior school from grade 1 to 5. Only 80% of Pakistani children finish primary school education.

 2) Middle (Grades six to Grade 8)

 
After passing grade 5 Examination which is conducted by the Punjab Examination Commission Lahore, students are promoted in to Middle Level ie grade 6 to 8. At middle level single-sex education is usually preferred by the community but co-education is also common in urban cities of the Pakistan. 
 3) High (Grade Nine to Grade 10) Also known as Secondary 
 
After passing grade 8 Examination which is conducted by the Punjab Examination Commission Lahore, Students are promoted to High/Secondary Level ie grade 9 to 10 which is also known Secondary School Certificate (SSC). Students are required to pass a national examination administered by a regional Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education (BISE). Upon successful completion of these two examination, they are awarded a SSC Certificate. This locally known as “Matriculation”.


 4) Intermediate (Grade eleven to 12) Also known as Higher Secondary
The students are promoted to grade 11 after passing of grade 10. Upon successful completion of grade 11 and grade 12 Examination by the BISE, students are awarded the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC). This level of education is also called the FSc/FA or “Intermediate”. There are many groups that students can choose for their 11 and 12 grades, such as pre-medical, pre-engineering, humanities and commerce. 


 5) University(Undergraduate and Graduate degree)14to16 Years of Education)
 
 After earning HSSC (Higher Secondary School Certificate), students may study in a professional college/University for Bachelor’s degree courses such as engineering (B.Engg/BS Engg), medicine (MBBS), dentistry (BDS), veterinary medicine (DVM), law (LLB), architecture (B.Arch), pharmacy (Pharm-D) and nursing (B.Nurs). These courses require four or five years of study. There are some councils and boards that will handle all the educational matters in these cases and they are known as the PMDC, Pakistan pharmacy council and Pakistan nursing council. Students can also attend a university for Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc), Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com).After successful completion of B.A,B.Sc, students enrolled in Master degree programme that require 2 years education to get the Master degree. Masters in Philosophy (M.Phil) is available in most of the subject and can be undertaken after doing Masters.
M.Phil and PhD education in Pakistan requires minimum of 2 years of study.

pakistan education system

We all know the importance of education. It is the most important aspect of any nation’s survival today. Education builds the nations; it determines the future of a nation. So that’s why we have to adopt our Education Policies very carefully because our future depends on these policies.

ISLAM also tells us about Education and its importance. The real essence of Education according to ISLAM is “to know ALLAH” but I think in our country we truly lost. Neither our schools nor our Islamic Education Centers are truly educating our youth in this regard. In schools, we are just preparing them for “Money”. We aren’t educating them we are just preparing “Money Machines”. We are only increasing the burden of the books for our children and just enrolling them in a reputed, big school for what, just for social status??? On the other hand in our madrassas we are preparing people who finds very difficult to adjust in the modern society. 
Sometimes it seems that they are from another planet. A madrassa student can’t compete even in our country then the World is so far from him. He finds very difficult to even speak to a school boy. It is crystal clear that Islamic Education is necessary for Muslims but it is also a fact that without modern education no one can compete in this world. There are many examples of Muslim Scholars who not only study the Holy Quraan but also mastered the other subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and many more, with the help of Holy Quraan. I think with the current education system we are narrowing the way for our children instead of widening it. Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Alberoni, Abnalhasam, or Einstein, Newton, Thomas Edison. The education system we are running with is not working anymore. We have to find a way to bridge this gap between school and madrassa. Robert Maynard Hutchins describes it as “The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.” We should give our youth the way to educate themselves.

Edward Everett said that “Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.” Sadly, in Pakistan we are spending more budgets on our arms than on education which depicts our ideology about education!!! Since 1947 not a single government is able to change this scenario. In price of a grenade almost 20 to 30 children can go to school for the whole year and the other picture.... a grenade can kill 20 to 30 grown people!!!!!!. So a grenade is damaging in two ways stopping children education and then killing innocent people!!! Why not authorities think about this? Answer.... we all know that!!! Don’t we?We all know the importance of education. It is the most important aspect of any nation’s survival today. Education builds the nations; it determines the future of a nation. So that’s why we have to adopt our Education Policies very carefully because our future depends on these policies.

ISLAM also tells us about Education and its importance. The real essence of Education according to ISLAM is “to know ALLAH” but I think in our country we truly lost. Neither our schools nor our madrassa’s (Islamic Education Centres) are truly educating our youth in this regard. In schools, we are just preparing them for “Money”. We aren’t educating them we are just preparing “Money Machines”. We are only increasing the burden of the books for our children and just enrolling them in a reputed, big school for what, just for social status???

It is crystal clear that Islamic Education is necessary for Muslims but it is also a fact that without modern education no one can compete in this world. There are many examples of Muslim Scholars who not only study the Holy Qur'an but also mastered the other subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, These “People” are playing with our nation for the last 60 years just for their on profits and aims. We should and we have to think about our children education now that are we educating them in the right way? If not, what should we do? We have to act now otherwise it’s going to be too late for PAKISTAN!!!

Education System in Pakistan (mistakes) flaws

Human development Report Pakistan is placed at 136th position for having just 49.9% educated population. In addition to that, Pakistan is ranked at 113th out of 120 registered UN members according to the research conducted by UNESCO et. all.
Moreover, the quality of education in most of the public schools and colleges is well below par; 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.Quality of teaching needs special attention in rural areas where the teachers lack in all departments.  Some of the very basic flaws of the education system in Pakistan contribute to the economic, ethnic and sociopolitical crisis within the country.

Flaws of Education System in Pakistan,

1) the education system of Pakistan is based on unequal lines. Medium of education is different in both, public and private sector. This create a sort of disparity among people, dividing them into two segments. Such a distraught infrastructure is a basic cause of high illiteracy rate in Pakistan and high drop out rates in rural areas and public school.
2) the lack of technical education is a biggest flaw in the education policy that has never been focused before. Therefore, less technical people means low standard of education.
 3)major cause of flawed education system in Pakistan is gender discrimination. The current primary school ratio of boys and girls is 10:4, which is a cause of huge concern. For the last few years there has been an increase in the growth of private schools. It is believed that Pakistan is among the most prominent states affected by gender discrimination. That not only harms the quality of education in Pakistan but create a gap among haves and have nots.
4), regional disparity is also a major cause. The schools in Balochistan (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.
All these issues contribute to high illiteracy rate, which in turn result in economic crisis in shape of high unemployment rate and below-par quality of labor. Moreover, the country suffers on social, political and technological front! There are hundred other problems which need attention but the core-issues need to be addressed as soon as possible. You can read my article Pakistan’s Educational System which is an overview of the education infra-structure within the country.
The illiteracy rate in Pakistan is alarmingly high which calls for critical attention. The federal and provincial governments need to work together towards elimination of flaws of education system in Pakistan.

Pakistan Education

Education is the systematic process of instruction for the development of character or mental powers.The drawbacks are multifarious in nature and require considerations on the part of the responsible. They have just followed the same principle of making policies in closed rooms and draft curriculum which was followed in the colonial era. Even now a days in our country, 

both the public sector and private sector have the capacity to publish books yet not according to the psychological level of the subject. They have borrowed ideas from elsewhere in the world and feel proud to present it in seminars and workshops. The parents of today are also responsible to a greater extinct as they are not questioning the effects of these curriculum. They just pushing their young ones and finally opt for tuition's,

 

 which is not the right solution. The amount they spend on borrowing ideas and then its practical implantation will be in my opinion far more less than the amount required for the research to know the psychology of the subject The primary stage of education is of prime importance for the edifice of career. Soundness and tidiness of this stage enable a child to raise a standard of his personality. Unfortunately the importance of this stage is ignored to a large extent in our country.. They have the money they are the managers,

leaders, administrators having a single agenda...Boss is always right. The government should channelize and monitor the schools in private sector.

POOR CHILD

About the efforts of the fund for promoting education for children across the country, the statement said, “UNICEF is supporting the nationwide ‘Every Child in School’ campaign, which encourages parents and communities to ensure that all primary school-age children are enrolled for the new school year. A special focus is being placed on enrolling girls, who represent 57 percent of primary school-age children who are not attending school. Girls from poor families in rural areas, for example, receive just over one year of education, on average.”
“The disparities in educational opportunities are influenced by multiple factors, like wealth, gender, ethnicity, geographic location, early learning opportunities, access and quality of learning – and it is therefore critical that all who can positively influence children’s learning opportunities should come forward to ensure that this school-year is more successful than ever,” said UNICEF Pakistan Representative Dan Rohrmann.

“We must ensure that all children are in school. Free and quality education for all children, especially the most vulnerable, is essential to Pakistan’s economic and social development. An investment in children is an investment in Pakistan’s future,” Rohrmann said, adding, “The realisation of Pakistan’s vision for social and economic development depends on success of its education system.”

EDUCATION PROBLEM

The problem starts from the first stage, primary education. Primary school attendance rate for both sexes is 66% whereas world average rate is 90%. Increasing corruption in Pakistan and misuse of educational institutions has resulted in lower than anticipated infrastructure such as inadequate furniture, swallowing of funds, ghost schools, poor monitoring and evaluation, feudalistic restrictions, unqualified and untrained teachers, teacher absenteeism and no career and moral counseling for children.

 

Thirdly, extreme low rate of literacy in Pakistani women (24.4%) leads to a society where most of the women of Pakistan never get to enter labor force. That not only increases their potential number of offspring but also decreases efficient use of Pakistani human resources. So a lot of potential skills never get to take their golden form and never get chance to add up in one’s country’s progress, fame or it’s GDP. So lack of education cannot said to be one of the problems of Pakistan whereas spreading education can surely be first step towards solving all stresses and storms in Pakistan.

Pakistan emerged on the world map on 14th August, 1947. Since then she has faced a number of problems on her way to progress. All of these issues are major and are badly effecting our society. Perhaps the greatest loss comes in the area of education. Whether or not this is a direct result of Pakistan's economic problems,it is undoubtedly connected with so many resources directed towards the aforementioned debt payment,educational improvements are given and inordinately low priority.

 

fcgEducational Problems & its solution in Pakistan

67 years have been passed since our independent, but we today are still not able to differentiate that what is bad for us and what is good for us. We sometime try to make a Muslim and sometime we follow the western style. And this situation is not only in our daily routine works but we in the field of education are not saved.

LOW LEVELS EDUCATION REASON IN POOR COUNTRY

Many reasons could be attributed to it:

Gender Discrimination

Major factors that hinder enrollment rates include opportunity cost, poverty, cultural constraints, illiteracy of parents and parental concerns about safety and mobility of their daughters. The economic benefits from schooling are particularly doubtful for girls as society approves of Pardah. Also, since girls have a labor force participation rate of only 4.3% of total population (Tahir et.al, 15), the returns to education seems minimal. Female enrollment rates are low as schooling system is considered to have a bad impact on girl’s character. Society’s emphasis on girl’s modesty, protection and early marriages may limit family’s willingness to send them to school. Enrollment by rural girls is 45% lower than that by urban girls; while for boys the difference is of 10% only, showing that gender gap is another factor (Lloyd 106). There exists a positive relation between enrollment and household incomes. Recent studies have shown that income shocks (death of family member or animals) affect enrollments, with greater impact for girls (Lloyd 102).

Cost Of Education

The cost of education is another determinant for parents to decide whether to send their children; to government schools, private schools or no schools. Cost of education has increased further due to increased inflation. Educating a child in public school costs twice to society as would cost in private school. Although private schools appear cheaper but government fees appear “free” to parents, however society bears the cost by paying taxes (Andrabi et.al 40). Societal “cost of learning” is lower in private schools, but private schools are located in richer settlements only. The paradox is that private schools are better but not everywhere and governments schools ensure equitable access but do not provide quality education.

Only then could there be a hope for higher enrollment rates accompanied with proper retention and low drop outs rate. Parents and society in general has to reshape its preferences and thinking about education for the system to improve. And to supplement this government has to provide the resources along with diverse opportunities to provide proper returns to education. Equality of opportunities where returns of education could be compensated is the key to fix the demand side problems of education.

TEACH TEAMWORK TO ACTUALLY STUDENT

Why is it necessary to actually teach teamwork to actually students and exactly how would it be done ? 

in the increasing use of social networking, instant messaging and on-line communication students are getting connected to actually larger numbers of people. i do feel positive concerning the increase of the sort of communication and also the growth of the online currently being a learning tool. though, students seem to actually be interacting face to actually face along with their peers less usually, and a few key communication and teamwork ability are being left behind and not just taught effectively. despite the growth of on-line communication, direct communication can perpetually be necessary and necessary. those folks with your communication skills will surely be at an advantage as opposed to actually those who can’t quite get together with their peers. 

there will be several group work tasks you'll be able to offer to actually teach teamwork to actually students and permit them to actually apply their positive and productive communication with one other. there will be comes students will work on in groups, jobs students will complete along while a huge number games students will play that involve productive teamwork skills to actually be successful. 

to actually teach teamwork to actually students though you conjointly ought to highlight to actually them the importance of teamwork plus what skills these can ought to communicate effectively and work well within the team. here are a few very important skills you'll be able to highlight and discuss along with your students. 

listening : 

one of the necessary may be that students ought to listen, first of all ensuring that other students will speak while not being interrupted and secondly ensuring that all students really know what continues to be discussed and wherein the conversation is heading. a straightforward solution to assisting the students in that is to actually offer the group a toy or object, solely one person will speak for a time and it will be the man or woman holding the object. i exploit a fluffy animal however it may be something, i’ve had teams of students who have simply used a selected pencil. 

speaking : 

after all people do ought to speak in teams, to actually offer their very own ideas and provides feedback to actually other people’s ideas. countless students haven't any bother talking for their friends however to labor effectively within the group students really need to learn how to actually talk effectively to actually the total group. when speaking, students ought to categorical their ideas clearly and go to the purpose ensuring that these are simply understood. people will tune out if somebody is talking for too long about a thing you need or jumping from one idea to actually another and younger youngsters utilize a shorter attention span than adults. 

confidence : 

not most a ability as much currently being a mind set however i feel it’s a mind set students will apply and get to know. to actually get themselves involved in teamwork students want confidence, these ought to categorical their ideas confidently and settle for other students’ negative feedback while not being too offended to actually continue. growing a students confidence could be a long elusive method however the more group work your student partake in and also the more these learn how to actually listen and speak effectively their confidence towards in the groups can improve. 

there will be several other skills you'll be able to discuss to actually teach teamwork to actually students together with respect, leadership and assignment of roles and responsibilities. you'll be able to enter these in additional detail along with your students whenever the fundamentals of listening, speaking and confidence are discussed and practiced. 

an exceptional solution to introducing students to actually teamwork in order to help them apply their abilities is through classroom games, either team games or individual games that need them to actually interact with one other. games are an excellent partaking means for students to actually apply communication and teamwork.
