Most of new motorways are BOT projects. Sialkot-Lahore, Karachi-Hydrabad, Multan-Sukkur, Hydrabad-Sukkur, Lahore-Abdul Hakim. So federal is spending least amount of money from its own resources. Only DI-Khan-Hakla motorway is from development budget because it goes through relatively poor area of south KPK and south punjab thal region with less traffic.
All these motorways will be completed by 2018-2019 and cost more then $10 billion. People who say government need to spend on other areas doesn't know what they are talking about.
I'm not talking about govt having to spend more on education by diverting from x,y,z. I'm saying the govt should get its arse the hell out of education as much as possible, cut down the legislation and bureaucracy for private sector to enter education...and then finance any supposed market failure directly with voucher based system while simply just writing up and enforcing the standards (as society deems fit...just like how the court system operates).
Anyways if you can't see how the control of education by govt in the region (and world at large) affects the region's problems directly....given there is constant lack of supply of both quantity and quality as a result (when it need not be the case given the large wealth locked in countries and huge demand for quality education at the bottom dollar)....then don't reply to me please.
I am not saying govt should divert its money from BOT infra at all, I'm saying continue all of that as much as you want and is sustainable....but don't stupidly think that govt oligarchy on education is not the root cause of the real problems of society in the region (I am not only talking about Pakistan here)....and that therefore everything else the govt participates in is relative show-boating given the grandiose, monumental and many times deliberate failure of education.
