Education and frustrations in students

(Ahmad Raza, Faisalabad)

“Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim  Man and woman.” (Al-Hadith)

Either every person gets this knowledge or not? What are the frustrations or desperation which our students face in the field of study? , and do our students get their goals after getting educated in this society or not? I want to discuss all these things in my article.

The first thing I want to discuss in this article is that, there are many students who cannot continue their study. Its cause is that either they get low marks in matric or they suffer financial problems which enforce them to earn money to meet their daily family and education expenses.

Some of these students are very intelligent and they reach intermediate level and they cannot perform well according to the situations which he has been facing during matric because there is a lot of difference among these two levels. Here they become frustrated because they get through matriculation with little hard work but intermediate requires some more efforts to succeed.

Another cause of their failure is misguidance in selection of their subjects of interest. Every one gives his own opinion to guide them which differ from the first one and this guidance becomes a source of conflict in their mind or in other words they become double minded. In this way their interest in education fades with the passage of time, and some time they do not take classes seriously. Thus they do not perform according to the expectations of their teachers and especially parents. They get again low marks in intermediate which create problems in seeking admission in a university because their marks are not so high to come on merit decided by university management.

Then they are forced to get admission in such an institution which is low in ranking.

Now, they are completely frustrated and blame education system and institutions, but they should keep in mind that a student’s self-hard work always brings fruit they should pay heeds to study, after selecting a proper field in place of criticizing educational system and departments.

The government should take step to meet this problem by establishing such an institutions where these frustrated and misguided students can get help in study and evaluate their capabilities. There should be a system to judge the interest of such students. In foreign countries this system is available where educational experts completely examine a child by giving him tasks relating to different fields in order to check out his field of interest because a child happily complete task of his interest. In this way, they identify a child’s interest and they give him education according to the test result.

Another big cause of frustration in students is un equal education system in our country. There are different categories in educational institutions as the classes in society. There are government institutions, private institutions and international institutions. The rich people select institution according to desire while poor students are compelled to seek admission according to their financial circumstances, in other words they select departments where expenses are low. In these departments the educationists do not teach them seriously, miss lecture and do not come punctually.

In this way the students get freedom and they also become irregular and less hard working which results in frustration in the end.

Then the element of frustration in student is observed when they go in order to seek a job in some government departments. Here they become frustrated when they do not fulfill the requirements of the merit. Some time they fulfill all the requirements but officers demand money to give them job. These types of applicants try to get money by hook or by crook and when they fail to collect money for bribery, then they are counted in the most frustrated persons in society.
Now, what are steps that can be taken from government? What are the suggestions that can be given from me? What should be there? Here is closing of my article from some suggestions!

Education should be equal for all that is important to encourage students and fulfill their education demands. There should be neat and clean system of admission in educational institutions and those who are on merit they advised to take admission. After this for job in different departments there should be everything on merit no would be demand of money from applicants. In this way that deserves for the post he/she must be appointed for this post.

Finally if governments takes some solid actions on these demands of every student that I have explained then my country will be honorable in education system and there would be frustration in students. In shaa Allah I believe that we will feel proud on our education system. All this article have been written with my own point of view, my own ideas.!!!
