The educational system that is
prevailing in our country is obvious to every naked eye. Students of current
era do not really getting educated rather they seek degree for the purpose of
money. The perception being made in the mind of every teen and tween is that
their bachelor and master degree would help them to get good job with handsome
salary nothing more than that. Today, most of educational departments have
become a part of business to boost up investment and profit. Now quality
education is lacking in every society rather quantity is being focused on. A
simple example of it is corruption in this sector. Misappropriate allocation of
funds granted by foreign countries and then using the fund for their own luxury
rather than to spend on improvement of the education. Several schools and
colleges are having branches in bulk but still for increasing revenues not for
students ease. A number of universities and colleges who are providing
professional studies should look forward to the future aspect of their goal.
Because only business should not be the aim of individual , learning should be
enhanced as well by including several courses which call for humanity as well.
Like the old times when humans really cared for each other, education is meant
to make familiar a person with its surroundings not with the business only.
Another Point of concern here is
the issue of fake degrees that are being sold at very low prices than that of
regular degree expenses. So a student now, do not want to waste his/her time in
getting the degree through proper channel and is looking for short cuts as the
thoughts of gaining more and increasing sales is feeded in to their minds so
what they really look for, is the excess of money in every aspect of life. But
money buys nothing; it is merely a time being solution which has no outcome in
the long run. All the systems that are necessary for a country to progress
depend upon the right deliverance of education. Result is produced but unfortunately
today results are also sold again for earning money. They are doing the wrong
thing in the name of good purpose. This is not better for the students not for
the persons involved.
Education should not just meant
for the elite class only. Not really at least all the educational standards
should be the same for every student. It seems as child of an elite class is a
king and child of poor one’s are sub ordinates of king. Alas to our poor system
we have created discrimination in this sector as well that the quality education
which private schools provide, a government school lacks far behind in
providing the same excellence and quality. And especially the scholarships that
are provided are almost negligible. Proper check and balance in maintaining the
standard is required, a department should be established, that should look
after and check the accountability of operations carried out in the country’s
every sector. The head department must take steps to improve the standards and
also helping to meet the standards. Education is not used for expanding
business but to provide quality knowledge.
There are a number of
institutions who are providing excellence education. There is another side of
picture as well .Optimistic view adds a lot in the education system of Pakistan
but education for business is the upcoming investment for a number of business
class people. Because in their mind it is the most safest and long term profit
for future but on the other hand this perception is destroying the real future
of every student. Quality should be provided rather that looking for quantity.
Excellence is the key towards success. Our religion, Islam also emphasizes on seeking
excellence education not for earning money but for becoming a reputable
individual of a society. Educational institutions must strive to provide a
sacred facility and it should get the plague of money market. So this scenario needs to be addressed and
certain factors are needed to be controlled with strict hands and authorities
to move towards excellence in real sense.
