It is normally opined by Our senior
educationists and intellectuals on different forums that , when there exists
significant diversification in an educational system of a particular region , it
creates a lot of problems and leads towards diminishing of national unity .
It is an established and undebatable fact that Education is one of the
fundamental and basic rights of Humanbeings, especially children . As a muslim I
affirm this , because there is a well-known and mostly cited , a Prophetic ﷺ
saying "Seeking Knowledge is obligatory on each Muslim" . This generalization
includes both men and women.Moreover Article 26 of UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF
HUMAN RIGHTS documents the legitimacy in these words : "Everyone has the right
to education....".
When the right of education ,is provided to one nation , via different routes ,
Then it is confirmed , that it will lead towards disintegration of national
unity . A question arises here Why ? Lets exemplify this , There is a group of
students , each and everyone has equally obtained A+ in his exams .Now due to
some circumstances some of the students are awarded with Prize-X and the
remaining ones with Prize-Y.Yet there is a slight difference in both of these
prizes . What do you think , Will the students ignore this differentiation? . I
don't think so .
Its normal that they will inquire with each other about this slight
differentiation . Its just a slight case .
What will you say about Big Differentiations in educational systems or routes ?
As a nation , we affrim the lack of Bond of National Unity in ourselves . I
question in this regard that , How do you desire or dream to see your nation
equally fulfilled with Patriotic feelings , while you are witnessing Differences
in Educational Systems or routes.
I opine , that our books should be source of National Unity , should provide an
appropriate forum for this . It shouldn't serve as Differentiation element in
our unity. Since there are a lot of ways for stengthening unity bond but
discussing Education as a source of it , is necessary . As Education means
Mental Development of a personality . So it should be homogenous in each
situation . Each and everybody should be nourished and nurtured with same
education . Unfortunately, there is absence of such an educational system
practically which can be suitable,standardized and practically acceptable for
each and everyone in a country .
Hopefully I say, that the present systems can be subjected for rectification in
this respect.
We should take proper rectifying steps in improving our Educational system ,
clearing it up from differences ,rather than listing out comparisons in them.
Its a national duty upon each and every capable to carry on and accompilsh this
arduous task sincerely . As this is mattering in our national unity foundations,
which play key-role in the development and prosperity of a nation.
