Education - A Curse

Education is suppose to liberate us so that we can realize our potential but sadly in Pakistan, it only limits us from fulfilling that potential. We have a multiplistic educational system in Pakistan. Syllabus wise the system is divided into Matriculation, Madressahs and O'Levels and structure wise we have the elite, public and private schools. Education is discriminatory in Pakistan. Education develops our underdevelopment. Only rich can afford quality education and poor are left to study in unsupervised, under-resourced schools. Rich acquire quality education and excel in their fields of interest whereas the poor settle for low-waged jobs due to their unsatisfactory quality of education. Rich becomes richer, poor remains poor. Education divides our people and promotes inequality. We are divided on so many fronts and education is the most subtlest of them and perhaps the most dangerous too! It's time we rectify our systems of the state because these are the foundation of the country and can make or break Pakistan.

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained
