In Pakistan, unfortunately the
people have been introduced the double standard of education. The one, which
prevails through out the country is related to public sector and the other is an
out come of private investors.
Let us examine that how far the public sector has fulfilled the requirement of
the people of Pakistan by providing them in education. The country had got
independence 58 years ago, since then, the contribution imparted by this sector
is a little bit worth to be mentioned. The result produced by the sector is very
poor and the quantity has outdone quality as far as the contribution and
creation is concerned. The education system in Pakistan faced enormous problems
after independence. A little attention was paid in this respect. The education
has remained an orphan child in our society by facing double standard and has
created an atmosphere of frustration among the young ones.
Government has established schools, colleges and universities throughout the
country that have been imparting education in different respects and studies of
life. The students from these departments are wandering due to lack of
opportunities. Everywhere they are denied services because they bear a label of
government academies. Now one can imagine that why the government system of
education is being neglected throughout the country and why the establishment
has allowed private sector with its tails up to introduce another standard of
education.
Parents are scared about their children and they even do not allow their
children to be admitted in public sector school, they prefer their child to get
education in private sector as, it suits them more. This does not mean that
public sector schools are not producing the cream of the future, most of our
genius and sages who are imparting their valuable services, are out come of
public sector schools. The only submitted reason by their parents is lack of
management in public sector schools. The well management is offered at private
schools.
The relation between teacher and student is sacred. Children are taught social
and moral etiquettes with more comfort at private schools, the behaviour of
teachers is quite frank and the student can come in direct contact to their
teachers. On some scale, this is true that contact between learner and learned
lacks in public sectors but the thing they are learning must be the same for
both sectors, I mean the curricula. The Curriculum Board has been established
but it has allowed private sector to run their own syllabus. Now, the degrees
are same but the scope of knowledge got by the two is too different to be
compared. Here, students face many complications by studying under different
curricula. This has created a big rift between the two sectors.
