The more education system of country will be strong the most chances to enhance the economics of the country because the education system indirectly affects over the situation of our economics in the development of our country. If we talk about the Pakistan the education system is too least effective as it should be developed because we are residing in one of the developing countries of South Asia.

For a quality and standard education should be adopted in the educational institutes but unfortunately we are suffering from international standard of education as there is no rules and laws for education implementing in Pakistan. We are living in a country that is depended upon its agricultural resources and production of seasonal corps that is why we should adopt a way that brings out a most intellectual and brilliant youth generation but it can be possible only after adopting international educational standard. There is a VIP class system we are facing in our country that is most crucial for the common people of our country as it interrupts the minds of those people who are the low income producers as their children cannot afford to get admission in the private educational institutes or college and university level education. There is different lack of resources so that they can bear for their children for a quality education.
