TOPIC: UNIFORM CURRICULUM ADVISABLE OR ILL-ADVISED
Thesis statement
Introducing a new curriculum in Pakistan will improve the
quality of education. It will improve the education system
and will solve many problems in society. The development of
a nation depends upon its education system, a better
education system will lead to a better society and
development, while illiteracy leads to ignorance and
darkness. Implementing a uniform curriculum in Pakistan is a
great move and it will give us a lot of benefits, but while
implementing a uniform curriculum the government will also
face many challenges. We need to discuss while introducing a
uniform curriculum what changes will take place in our
education system and the challenges we have to face.
Justification:
Why uniform curriculum? This is a very interesting question
and the answer to the question is the problems we have in
the current education system. There are many problems in
the current education system like we are being taught
outdated syllabus for year’s and nothing new has been
introduced to the current curriculum and thus are far behind
the other countries because they have courses which include
modern researchers and up to date structure, while we are
being taught Windows XP, floppy disk and things which are
no more useful in this modern world of development. Apart
from the outdated syllabus, there are also many problems
like the problem of ideology difference, because of the
different syllabus we fall for the problem of ideology
difference. By introducing the uniform curriculum the
problem of an ideology difference will vanish from the
education system.
The problem of ethnicity conflict will be vanished by
introducing the uniform curriculum because in the current
situation we fall for the problem of ethnic conflict. After all,
the students have different mindsets and the difference in
mindset is because of differences in the syllabus, one
institute offers the curricular of Oxford and Cambridge while
others provide low quality and outdated syllabus and this
problem of ethnicity conflict will be vanished by introducing g
new uniform curriculum.
One of the noticeable benefits of introducing uniform
curricula is important to discuss here, and that is it will
provide equal opportunities for the students. What is meant
by equal opportunity is that the mindset of all the students
will be equal and they will have the same opportunities in
their lives.
The students will move in the same direction with equal
opportunities. And the motive behind all this is to create a
sustainable society (a society where everybody will be
provided with equal opportunity and will give equal rights
and respect.
One thing that is important to discuss here thatt in the
current education system where the curriculum is different in
schools some students can’t afford expensive books and can’t
get a quality education( which is their right) and thus can’t
compete with other students who study quality syllabus from
quality teachers in private schools. By introducing the new
uniform curriculum will vanish this problem and the rich and
poor will have the same quality of education.
The government will also have to face many problems while
introducing a uniform curriculum and some of them we will
discuss below.
The first problem we got while implementing the uniform
curriculum in Pakistan is the problem of language
medium( use of language) why this is a problem? Because in
some schools the instruction medium is English while in some
schools the communication medium is Urdu, so by
introducing uniform curriculum will include new syllabus and
some students will face the problem in understanding
teachers.
Poverty is another challenge, because if the books and
uniform are expensive then some poor students will be
unable to buy and this is a challenget in the way to
improvement.
Besides his we got the problem of a new syllabus which will
be hard to grasp for those students who previously were in
the low-quality education system and these students will
have to face the challenge of comprehending the syllabus
content.
One of the challenges in the new move by the government is
the capacity of teachers. Some teachers are not well qualified
and if they are introduced to the new curriculum it will be a
challenge for the teachers to teach the new syllabus.
One of the most important things we need to discuss is that
the reason for introducing the new uniform curriculum is to
create a sustainable environment and to provide students
with equal opportunities and also to improve the quality of
education and to decrease the illiteracy rate for this the
government must have to invest in education and enrol the
students that are out of school and some people because of
poverty can’t afford education so the dues must be reduced
as much as possible so that the new illiterate can get an
education.
The government must build new schools and colleges in the
rural areas of Pakistan and should encourage people to enrol
their children in schools so that they can also get this
beautiful opportunity of seeking knowledge. For this
purpose, the government should invest in education more
than anything else because that is how we will be able to
compete with the modern world in the field of science, new
researches and discoveries.
Conclusion:
The reason for all this what we have discussed above was to
find that, whether the new upcoming uniform curriculum will
be better or not. And the straightforward answer is yes.
because it will provide many benefits for the students and
some of them are, ideology consensus, unity in diversity,
ethnicity, and ignorance will be vanished, and will also
provide students with equal oppurtunitues. And will create a
sustainable society. But in the way of improving the
government will also have to face many problems like the
problem of instruction medium, infrastructure ( not only
syllabus but also the quality of teachers, schools, syllabus,
the capacity of teachers, and out of school children but we
have to bear in mind that while the way to develop and
improve the challenges is always there, but if we want to
compete with the modern world and want to be a role model
for other nations then we have to face these challenges.
