Another thing that has really been bugging me lately is standard of education that we have in pakistan.I know, i know, its not rocket science but very old news!!! Oh and one more thing, im not talking about the fact that our literacy rate is very low or the plight of Government schools etc, here im concerned about the education standard of the private schools, yeah you heard me, no need to get flabbergasted.
See,i dont think there is much difference between our private schools and government schools because both stress on rote learning!! Even our very best and expensive private schools(okay, most of them) dont develope the creative abilities of the students, they don't help them to think independentally on their own. The syllabus is way too much and the students are expected to learn it all and not to apply their thinking skills.
Moreover, this trend of tuition centers and acadmies is beyond me but its the new rage, a kind of fashion statement!! you can see four and five year old kids going to tuitions and academies. See, it all comes back to the schools, if the course content and the patteren of exams had been much concept based and the teachers had done justice to their jobs i don't think the poor students will have to go to tuitions centers but our techers need to make money and today an academy or tuition center is the fastest way of earning some quick bucks, they even teach better at the academies and this i'm speaking from my very own personal experience... matlab what is the purpose of going to school if you are going to academies.. would'nt it be better that you dropped out of schools and just attended the academies, atleast your parents pockets will be heavier.
Abroad, the students learn all they need to at their schools and they even finish their homework at schools and spend considerable time playing sports. Here our students don't have time for after school sports because they have to go to their various tuitions etc, no wonder our younger generation is so lathergic and lazy!!! and the only "sports and relaxation " they know comes in the form of the computer games.

i agree to most part of it. i hate it when mums send their chotay chotay bachay to academies..i mean they are educated enough to teach them the basics..our mums taught us themselves :s so its not only the problem with school but with the so called mothers who are very lazy when it comes to bringing up children..
i agree hundred percent
nd the grades rain down in o and a levels nd the schools advertise it , pretending it to be an epitome of acheivement...also they hold these MUNs nd debates nd plays in order to lure students along with this fake hippie boy girl culture... we really need an education revolution...
