Restructuring of Education Policy
By Ali Yar Khan • Apr 22nd, 2008 • Category: Politics • (1,621 views) • 4 CommentsThe truth is that if we Pakistanis really need to become noble in the cluster of nations and want to really embrace the new world with dignity and want to be a contributer rather than a receiver than we have to focus on our education system on war footings.
The need of the hour is that a workable and agile education program is chalked out with ambitious passion to enhance literacy in every nook of Pakistan. In these bleeding edge times, knowledge is the king and only innovation and niche education can give a nation upper edge in the region and in the world.
Our education system is as obsolete as anything in the world and there is a dire need that the new education minister starts working with vision and he must not waste a single dime and second and should immediately start restructuring the education system on the modern grounds.

Sir,
First of all give Kudos to the new government for being transparent.
Those who in the know of things must ask themselves. Education means what?
To me it is a constant search for TRUTH.
I want to give a story of HINDU GODDESS OF LEARNING in this time as HINDUISM is also pakistani heritage as is my heritage though i am an Indian christian.
There was this BRAHMIN of High learning who could recite ALL THE VEDAS and UPANISHADAS by ROTE and he had nothing else to READ. He became so arrogant that he asked everyone what else is left for him to read? Great Rishies and Yogies of those days tested him and found him to be fully read on all the written/oral texts available at that ime. They then suggested one thing. Do a deep penance of 100 years and ask for Goddess SARASWATHI, the goddess of learning to appear to answer your question. He did as told and after 100 years GODDESS SARASWATHI appeared to him in person. The BRAHMIN put the same question to the goddess.
She took him to a sea shore and picked up a handful of sand and told him “Hey Brahmin!! though i am goddess of learning, i have learnt only this handful of sand of knowledge while the whole sea shore of sand of knowledge is left to be LEARNT. You have only READ THE TEXTS BY ROTE BUT NOT LEARNED THE BASIC THING OF HUMILITY WHICH COMES OUT OF LEARNING. YOU HAVE READ THE TEXTS AND IT HAS ONLY MADE YOU ARROGANT and LEARNED NOTHING!!!!.
The above story as told to me my grandmother made me love this goddess of Learning. I know this is my RICH HERITAGE OF BEING AN INDIAN though a christian by faith.
I only hope pakistanies of LEARNING will give their input to the government by keeping this ancient story in mind.

Who is going to change this education system? The one, whose own chidren are studying in A level and O level school or the one who has sent his children in USA for studies. Dear its not going to change. We are going toward self finance universities and colleges… I got shocked last month to know that Punjab University offers MBA to 50 students each year on merit. Rest has to apply for self finance MBA. How you can expect that you will able to give space to Poor families children.
I heard that in Indian few states, Government has fixed quota for poor student for college and universities. In this way majority of poor students gets admission and in long run, they gets able to support their poor families by getting good jobs.

who is education minister.?who is health minister,who is foreignminister.
we have ammended constitution now.supreme court has given verdict that laws striking qualification and degrees are indiscriminate.after this ruling and judgement ,any body can be a judge of the high court ,any one can practise medicine ,i can be a judge of high court,or urdu teacher .i want my batman to be a member of national assembly so that i may humilate him. my buddy is looking for a job in highcourt .he thinks he is fit for the appointment as judge ,after the judgement.my dhobi son is middle pass .he is asking for a loan to get register in coming election.he has plan to look critically in to the control of inflation and our foreign policy.constable allah dita wants to head as inspector general of police as he has completed 25r years in service ,some body please call army chief as i dont think they are too happy to run the awarded democracy.look at our profile ,king maker is still to get the degree as graduate. attorney general has been kicked out from the office of the judge due to corrupt practise .although i hate to pull legs on ground of personel attacks but ,the attitude that is in conductivity ,of these culprits ,have literally smashed the system and my mind.
