Education is the basic and fundamental right of people through which they became aware of their socio-economic and political conditions. To educate one person means to educate the whole nation. Somehow governmental departments have failed to achieve this goal. This has resulted in establishment and rise of the private education sector in the country.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has ignored the problems of middle and lower class. In Pakistan government is unable to perform their duties under the constitution of Pakistan. Especially the ignorance of government over the education department in Pakistan, the government schools which lack facilities and are unable to provide quality education not because their struggle to achieve quality education but due to ignoring government schools in Balochistan and Sindh but also in all other provinces.
The Private schools and universities are increasing fees as they wish to do, because none of the government officials ask them for this? The literacy rate in Pakistan is low as compared to the smaller countries like Sri Lanka where government gives free education to all. In Pakistan schools are there by structure but there is no basic facilities for them like scientific items, clean water, desks, playground and sports items and computer lab where in the modern days teachers are using the black board and white chock for writing. These items have become obsolete many years before which are replaced by multimedia and white board which are only in private institution or in universities.
In the contemporary days, the people of Pakistan can’t stand with old government schools, colleges and university system. The current scenario where merit is given first priority but due to lack of facilities, people give preference to the private institutions which are just doing business in the name of quality education and also people are compelled to pay fees for the bright future of their children. There is no formal way for appointing a new teacher in private institution, they attract parents with help advertisement posting on wall and showing their school structure on Cable TV.
Due to the lack of government consideration over the educational sector, people of Pakistan have lost trust over government schools. Actually they are running with old syllabus which would not get the attention of people. The future of this nation is dark as they even protest because they are deprived of the better educational environment which is their basic and fundamental right.
