Lacking urgency: Educationists flay govt for failure to enact Article 25-A
Education activists expressed concern over the four-year delay in enacting Article 25-A and urged the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Assembly to approve the draft bill at the earliest.
During a news conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, activists said after the 18th Amendment, civil society organisations and the education department prepared a draft bill for free and compulsory education in the province. However, both the previous Awami National Party (ANP) regime and the current Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) failed to turn the bill into a law. They pointed out 2.5 million children across the province were out of school and claimed the current government had not constructed a single school for them.

Fostering a sound value system By Ainee Shehzad
The Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) categorically stipulates that the teaching of all subject curriculam should support the development of learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. Agreeing with the CIE, we should acknowledge that the world can only improve if the next generation has these attributes that make it empathetic and concerned about the social and physical environment. Schooling is not just about teaching various subjects; it should also focus on holistic development of the student, given the importance of this powerful mode of social instruction. As leaders in this process, the onus falls on teachers to carefully reflect on how they are contributing towards developing these essential attributes. The fostering of these attributes should not be treated asde rigueur; they should be taken as a critical commitment with powerful long-term implications.

Children pay the price
Well all know that the Pakistani state is weak, its writ is limited, and our rulers are indifferent. But there is something particularly heartbreaking about the impact of this decay when it is felt by the most vulnerable members of society: our children. Particularly when the children themselves are from poor backgrounds, and come from conflict-ridden areas of the country.

Letters to the Editor
This is apropos Yaqoob Khan Bangash’s article, “Our ideological education” (November 27). The writer seems to have confused the acts of displaying the Israel stall at a university exhibition and the disfiguring of the statue of Dr Woolner. The two incidents are totally different. The Israeli stall was not critisiced while keeping the ‘ideology of Pakistan’ in mind, as the writer seems to imply in his article. The criticism was about the fact that Israel is not recognised by Pakistan, so its stall should not have been displayed in honour of the sensitivities of the state. The people who arranged that stall, and in particular the administration of the university in question, should have kept that fact under consideration. The display of such a stall cannot be justified on any grounds in a country such as Pakistan.

Our ideological education by Yaqoob Khan Bangash
A few weeks ago, a lot of ink was spilled in various newspapers against the directive of the Higher Education Commission, which ‘reminded’ universities to prevent anything against the ‘ideology’ of Pakistan from taking place on their campuses. While the efforts of my colleagues in decrying this rather absurd directive is to be lauded, the truth is that the ‘ideology’ of Pakistan — whatever that really is — is in fact being stringently preserved in the universities, and clearly etched in the minds of our students. The ideologues need not fear.

Hurdles behind quality education
It is said that education can bring change in society. Indeed, education brings positive change in man’s behaviour. Formal education, informal education, professional education etc. are kinds of education. Undoubtedly, our society tries its level best to educate young generation. But our social problems are arising day by day. Educated people remain unemployed and pessimist. Why they can’t get jobs despite having education. Perhaps, it is because of lack of their abilities or our education system is responsible for all this chaos. The whole scenario shows a dismal picture and tells that there is something wrong anywhere. Now a days, it is common perception of people that today’s students, mostly have less capabilities. So to say, people compare today’s student with old one. Often time, they reach to the conclusion that standard of education is falling rapidly. You can easily judge this by comparing today’s 10th class student with 5th grade student of previous decade. This gap is presenting alarming situation. What’s the reason behind this? It shows that we have failed to give quality education to our children.

Education a social instrument
Education means to impart knowledge. As Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “Seek knowledge from the Cradle to Grave” Education is a medium of awareness. If you are educated you know your rights and duties and you can play an important role in society leading to nation’s development. Though the importance of education is increasing in Pakistan and the Constitution has also proclaimed as a right of the people, still of the total budget only 3% is given to education which is not enough for quality education. Education is important as it prepares a person to get new skills and value that are very necessary in today’s society. As education is knowledge, knowledge is power; power is respect and respect ultimately leads to happiness. It is the education through which citizens get themselves aware about the politics of government and can bring the change either by supporting or protesting the change.

Future of Sindh lies in education
These days the incidence of ghost teachers is being publicized on print and electronic media. Most of these ghosts are either TV stars, media men or engaged in different trades, businesses and even politics playing cronies to the politicians – both local and higher level. A list recently announced at social media reveals that majority of ghost teachers run their own business and never visit schools and colleges where they are posted. According to data showed by social media, many of them are influential and belong to different political parties. The Sindh Education Minister is reluctant to take any legal or administrative action against them as most of them are politicized and PPP workers who have strong roots in the party.

Absentee teachers
EDUCATION plays a vital role in the progress of a nation. Its negligence results in annihilation of the whole nation. Our education system, unlike other developing countries, is very deplorable. The unskilled and less qualified teachers, besides the corrupt administration, are already ruining the future of our generations. Ghost teachers have further complicated the problem. They are working in the media, in NGOs or doing their own business without any fear of trial. It is an irony that the authorities concerned are unwilling to curb this menace.

Some facts from the HEC
This is in response to the article “The HEC: Turning scholars into slaves” by Ms Shaheen Ashraf Shah. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) understands that writers are entitled to their opinion, but Ms Shah begins with generalizations about the HEC’s shortcomings and in one breath, creates the impression that all scholars are suffering. Then she brings in her own experience. We will share with you details of her case where she undertook field trips without the prior permission of the commission, or without informing the commission, and hence kept drawing her stipend in foreign currency while she was entitled to stipends in the Pakistani currency.

Investing in education should be the government’s single, most effective strategy for reducing global poverty. Prioritising education is also helpful in accomplishing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Franchising Public Universities By Rasul Bakhsh Rais
Public education is the key to human and national progress. No society or a nation has progressed without funding public education adequately and devoting attention and energy to its governance. We firstly have a problem of arranging sufficient resources for universities, and on top of that, there is a crisis of poor leadership and governance. Governance, in whatever way you define it, is the central cause of our decay in every sphere and department of the state. This reality strikes in the face when you visit public universities in different parts of the country. There are many heart-breaking stories of departments and faculties, which are in disarray and about the general standards of education going down with no discernible effort to stem the rot.

Opinions/ Editorials
Study On Teachers
The Voice of Teachers, a study conducted by the Society for the Advancement of Education (SAHE) in partnership with Alif Ailaan, offers useful insights on the subject of education, with a special focus on school teachers employed in government and private institutions. The study serves to reaffirm the view that there is plenty to be done on the education front. The sense of emergency, that ought to be seen in a country with rampant illiteracy and unemployment, is not visible. While teaching, as a profession, commands considerable respect in most communities within Pakistan, not much is done for the development and improvement of teachers. Lack of training and facilities, and the burden of non-teaching duties, prevents them from meeting reasonable standards. The government shouldn’t be looking inside classrooms to carry out such duties. Surely, it can recruit from elsewhere. This is especially true for primary school teachers, who interact with students during the early years of schooling, which makes it all the more troublesome. How children are introduced to an educational environment has quite a role to play in their subsequent approach towards studies.

The literacy imperative by Hassan Amir
A little over a year ago, there was a big hullabaloo about a foreign group investing billions in Pakistan and dizzying talk about erecting the world’s tallest tower in Karachi which was supposed to promise employment opportunity for 2.5 million people. Then the group backed out and was replaced by a Miami-based developer wanting to inject another few billions into elite island communities off the coast of Karachi. That it all petered out even before the ink was dry on the MoUs is not the point. The question to be asked is that had these mega projects been built, could they have been maintained by an illiterate and primarily untrained work force?

The HEC: turning ‘scholars’ into ‘slaves’ by Shaheen Ashraf Shah
My experience with several international scholarship donors suggests that they make every effort to facilitate scholars during their study, and pay special attention to specific circumstances of individual students. Apart from providing financial resources, what is also important is the scholar’s peace of mind and a conducive environment. The HEC needs to treat scholars as its ambassadors and stop penalising them unnecessarily. Otherwise, scholars may find it difficult to play any post-PhD role or feel any pride in representing the HEC.

Madrassa reforms by Saad Rasool
A perusal of the history of Islamic civilization bears testament to a time when educational systems across the Muslim world, the ‘madrassas’, were unchallenged cathedrals of religious and scientific advancement. We are told of a time, at the turn of the eleventh century, when Muslim, Christian, Jewish, and even atheist scholars from the farthest corners of the world would brave harshness of the desert and perilous months long travel to flock to Isfahan and learn from Ibn Sina himself at the leading madrassa of the time. Here under the tutelage of the great Ibn Sina, they would study mathematics, medicine, and astronomy in addition to the study of religion and theology. Within the corridors of this great Islamic madrassa, the first human surgery was conducted, even at the time when it was banned by orthodox religion.

Quality education or bust by Syed Bakhtiyar Kazmi
The plan for this week was to write about the forthcoming demonstration at the end of the month and the government’s very recent and intrepid response thereto. I even thought up the title, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me’. However, as is the case with all manmade plans, a disturbing comment at a networking gathering changed all that: “One out of every three children not in school on this globe is a Pakistani.” On the lighter side of the phrase, this brings to mind a joke from a television sitcom where, upon the expected birth of a fifth sibling, a child suggests a Chinese name with the logic that every fifth person in the world is Chinese. On a serious note, however, the statement has sinister connotations.

Sindh’s ghost schools
It is a well-known fact that hundreds of ghost schools exist in Sindh. These are premises or structures set aside for education, but which, have over the years, been converted into cattle pens or guest rooms by landlords in the province. The situation is so bad that according to official figures, around 5,600 such ‘ghost’ schools exist in the province. The Millennium Development Goals target of universal primary education by 2015 is obviously not going to be reached, least of all in Sindh.
