These things happen gradually. People who are in education dont leave education by will. The problem here for the poor is that they cannot afford to send their children to school as they hardly get money for food. As for those who do educate their kids, they have an equally good standards of education. Take for example the ‘O’ & ‘A’ levels, every year Lahore Grammar school, Aitchison, Beaconhouse secure distinctions. When i gave my ‘O’ levels my school secured distinctions in 4 subjects including Accounting and chemistry too. These exams are of a world level too. It is common hearing now that some one secured 9 As, 8 As, 7 As, 6 As etc. You must have heard Ali Moeen Nawazish’s name. He is the kiod who secured 22 A grades in A levels which is a world record. Also, in SATs, GMAT, GRE type tests Pakistanis do score very high. It is a matter of time - people are becomign aware here and improving their education. You yourself can see around you that there are so many Pakistani students in US, UK who have gone there for higher studies. Education cannot improve overnight it is taking time. The major thing that lacks is free education schools where the poor can come and study free of cost.

All true. These things should be worked on. The least we can do is spread awareness. Start from writing - writing on blogs, magazines, newspapers. Make yourself presentable enough that people would want to follow people with good morals and presentable mannerisms.

But you know CB, criticism really isnt the solution to anything. I hope you get my point.

Abra, I have always believed that Pakistanis are a very intelligent Kaum … only if we use our intelligence in the right places …

All it will take is one generation to build themselves and improve on our standing . and that responsibility hugely lies on the mothers and teachers of this nation … as i said before …

Its not the grades with which i am measuring the education , its the over all knowledge and ability to seek new avenues /careers. the counted few take good grades …it should be majority… where are they going to come from when the mothers are too busy attending marriage ceremonies and planning daughters weddings and building status quo while the kids are left to play in the streets !

**We have been saying it for more then 60 years that it will take time .. i think we should stop saying that defo. and bring that urgency in our motivation and realize we dont have time left to wait and watch , we HAVE to rise , at any cost. **

mind you , i am not criticizing , I am positively bringing to attention the negatives of our society , that we as Pakistani’s need to be aware of .. we cant address an issue if we dont know what the issue is .

The most important thing: all the education and trying to build up perfect impressions will go down the drain if our nation does not improve on morals … we HAVE to respect our morals that Islam taught us … we are letting ourselves down with this one thing , everything else is forgivable but this one aspect is not … we have sidelined morality in our family lives, office lives, interpersonal dealings and what not …

if morals improve inshallah education and the rest will start bearing sweet fruits for us - the nation … inshallah
