conducted by UNESCO.
Basic flaws of education system in Pakistan contribute to the economic, ethnic and
sociopolitical crisis.
A cheapest defense for a nation , unfortunately it is one of the biggest problems in
Pakistan.

Educational issues in Pakistan

7. Some Major Problems

8. Education system is based on
unequal lines
Medium of education is different
in both, public and private
sector. This creates a sort of
disparity among people, dividing
them into two segments.

9. Lack of technical education
The lack of technical education is a
biggest flaw in the education policy
that has never been focused before.
Therefore, less technical people
means low standard of education.

10. Gender Discrimination
As there is a 10:4 ratio of boys and girls respectively in primary schools
For the last few years there has been an increase in the growth of private
schools.
That not only harms the quality of education but creates a gap among haves
and has not.

11. Untrained Teachers
 The teachers in government schools are not
well trained.
 People who do not get job in any other
sector, they try their luck in educational
system.
 They are not professionally trained teachers
so they are unable to train a nation.

12. Academic Problems
Resources regarding education are not
enough in Pakistan
But the problem is that we are not taking
benefits of available resources
Resources are not being utilized properly
due to presence of unskilled, dishonest and
less educated administration.

13. POVERTY
Poverty is also another factor that restricts
the parents to send their children to
public or private schools. So, they prefer
to send their children to madrassas
where education is totally free.

14. Solutions
 Implementation instead of projecting policies
should be focused on.
 Workshops must be arranged for teachers.
 Technical education must be given to all the classes.
 Teachers, professors and educationists should be
consulted while devising any plan, syllabus or
policy.
 The need of time is to bring education in its original
form to masses.
