Miss-appropriation of Funds
Pakistani education system has suffered from a low allocation of funds
9/11 funds were a good opportunity for qualitative change
how ever the money was wrongly allocated towards development of an image for the political parties and rulers.
Quantitative Expansion
focus of enhancement of numbers as the aim of a research project
Typical number crunching game
money alone cannot bring about such change
unless the desire for response
Quoting of the enrolled students inflated literacy rates
It is only subjected to the physical view rather then touching its qualitative nature
when seen it other then numbers it brings about the fact that the improvement and growth is a mere illusion
Post 9/11
educational reforms in Pakistan in terms of their scale
available funds
order of urgency
Th official and political ownership
The reforms were important as their need was felt by the donner countries
implementation processes were drawn by the consultants
dominant groups historically used the words such as reforms, development and and peace etc for their hegemonic aims
imperialist powers annexed territories of other countries to civilize them
Deliberate Undevelopment
Federalism and Education
Forces of Resistance
A conflict broke the the provincial govt are not yet equipped to take such a responsibility
The claim was made on the following assumption
The curriculum should remain under the federation
The lack of believe in the level of quality maintenance without federal involvement
lack of financial resources
Would the provincial language introduction weaken the federal grounds
Lack the capacity to deal with provincial education
Feeling of Distrust
Advocacy of a strong center
concern regarding the quality standards if eduaction came under the provincial
Center is sensitive regarding the curriculum of subjects like Islamiyat and Pak Studies
let these remain under the Federal
province may introduce regional languages
the diversity in Language will strengthen the federation
Unfounded Fears
ALL THE PROBLEMS INTRODUCED ARE RESOLVABLE
Need to create the understand that education and power are directly proportional
The Article and the amendment should be considered a positive step by the federation based on trust on the capabilities of the provincial governments
18th amendment in the constitution of Pakistan
Important step in the countries system
new article 25 A stated the right to education and that the state will be providing education to all childern 5 to 16 years of age
Impiortant undertaking
A large number of Pakistani children drop out of school around the age of Five
reasons being lack of financial assets
due to this a large number remains illiterate and incapable
A guaranteed implementation of the article could help pave the way to a brighter Pakistan
All the variable regarding education according to the article were now coming under provincial duties
This was passed under a rare consensus
Promises autonomy to the provinces
