Education
Education plays an important role in political stability, economic development and social progress of a
nation. It brings political stability by realising the people their national rights and duties. It brings
economic development by enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the people and seeks them
moral obligations and duties, so they can play their part in the society. Education is the backbone in the
development of any nation and the progress of any nation depends on the better state of their
education system. It develops the people mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. The countries that
have an effective system of education also happen to be the leaders of the world, both socially and
economically.

Pakistan’s education system

Today Pakistan is facing a number of problems i.e., poverty, insecurity, political instability, economic
crisis, terrorism, gender discrimination and many more and all these problems are because of lack of
awareness, tolerance and illiteracy, developed by ineffective educational system. The Constitution of
Islamic Republic of Pakistan says, “The state of Pakistan shall remove illiteracy and provide free and
compulsory secondary education within minimum possible period.” In Human Development Report
Pakistan is placed at 136th position for having just 49.9 per cent educated populace.

Pakistan is facing number of drawbacks in its education system. Today our education system does not
offer the environment and opportunity of one and equal system of education. The main problem is the
inequality in public and private education sector of Pakistan. There are many systems working in the
country which result in conflict and social division. Pakistan is an ideological state based on Islamic
ideology but our system of education is not able to protect our religious norms and guide our new
generation according to Islam.

Another important reason of the failure of our educational system is less trained faculty. New
techniques of teaching and materials to make lessons more interesting to the students have not been
adopted. One of the chronic problem of our education system is the shortage of teachers. The number
of teachers has been gradually increasing but it does not match favourably with the number of students
and there is a gap between the students and teachers ratio. Our poor examination system encourages
rote learning. The students look upon a degree as a passport to employment in a commercial
commodity which can be purchased if you pay the price.
Our curriculum is not updated to compete with the rest of the world. It has no direct connection with
the practical life which the students will have to face after the completion of his studies. Lack of
technical education is one of the major problem of our country. A number of educational policies were
introduced from time to time by various regimes in the history of Pakistan for reforms but due to lack of
implementation and inconsistency, it showed no result.

Allocation of budget for the education sector is not enough. Pakistan is one of only 12 countries in the
world that spend less than two per cent of its GDP on education. Corruption is one of the major
contributing factors for failure of educational policy. It is due to lack of accountability and transparency
along with low salaries of the staff. 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 creates a
gap among haves and have-nots. The adult female illiteracy rate in the country was twice as high as for
males. The illiteracy rate was 23.3 per cent for males and 46.9 per cent for females.

Self analysis
According to me Pakistan’s education system is not doing any development. The political parties are
fighting over each other for power rather than working in betterment of our education. We chould
spend more money on education rather than on comercial because education is basic important thing
for every person

Imporve education system

Pakistan’s education system can be improved by spending money on it making education budget and
build more university and college in Pakistan b6 government so everyone can het education and ginving
education free to poor by this everyone will get education without any inconvenience

Survey
Pakistan has the world’s weakest higher education system while US and UK have the strongest.
Pakistan has been ranked 50, with an overall score of 9.2 by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a British
ranking agency. Despite the government’s claims to have invested billions in the country’s education
system, Pakistan secured the lowest ranking of the fifty countries included in the list.

Six Pakistani institutes among world’s top 800 universities

The United States received the top spot on the table with an overall score off 100 points, followed by
the United Kingdom (98.5 points). While, India was ranked 24 with 60.9 points.

The QS higher education system strength rankings is divided into four categories: system strength,
access, flagship institution and economic context.

Countries with the best higher education systems:

United States – 100

United Kingdom – 98.5

Germany – 94

Australia – 92.6

Canada – 90.2

France – 89

Netherlands – 84.8

China – 83.5
South Korea – 80.1

Japan – 78.5

System Strength

The category assesses ‘overall national system strength’, based on how many of the country’s
universities are featured in international rankings.

“Each country is awarded a score based on the number of its institutions which are ranked 700 or above
in the QS World University Rankings®, divided by the average position of those institutions. The aim is to
give an overall indication of each country’s standing in the global ranking tables,” the website stated

The ‘flagship’ category assesses the performance of the country’s leading institution within global
rankings.

“This is a normalised score, based on the place each nation’s top university occupies in the QS World
University Rankings.

The economic context takes into account the impact of “national investment in higher education, by
comparing each nation’s financial situation to its performance in the international rankings.”

Taking all four categories into consideration, Pakistan has been ranked at the bottom of the table as
compared to Canada 5, France 6, China 8, Saudi Arabia 36 and Turkey 39 among several other countries.
