I want to draw attention of the government towards the flaws of our educational system through your esteemed newspaper.
Education is the road to national development. It creates sense of responsibility among the people. The main purpose of education is to improve the skills of the people. It plays an important role in character building.
Unfortunately, the educational system in our country is merely based on cramming. Actually, it is the system which was devised by the British rulers to demolish Muslims. Technical and creative learning is grossly neglected in our country and only focused on grades. In Pakistan, teachers and parents encourage the children to cram their lesson whether the concepts about the subject are clear or not.
Put force on skill-based education, creative art or technical subjects must be taught at school level. Education in our country should be cheap enough to permit everyone to reap its benefits.
