Leader I am going to transcend support for Imran Khan and look at PTI education policy as critically as possible. If you have clout with PTI leaders please relay my concerns.
Educational emergency is a good move. We all want it. This is a bold and welcome first step.
Was it a PDF or PPT presentation. Can the report be found online and is it downloadable. If so please provide a link as I would like to analyze in detail.
Now let me start with saying this is a very good initiative that may help the poor move to a better standard of education. Urdu too is being killed. I know people raised and studied in Pakistan who do not know proper urdu or fail to read or write Urdu. This is very welcome as even the book market is suffering in Pakistan because of lack of Urdu training. An urdu typist gets a very low salary. I have seen the issues in offices. Urdu has no future. Very welcome step indeed.
But providing of education in mother-tongue for primary level-thank God he said it only for primary level and even that is a little shock? I think he should leave such things to personal choice. No offence, I say this as a supporter. We can't impose things-theres already fake history, Islamiyaat and Pakistan affairs we have to deal with. I wish something had been said about that.
I really would want these concerns relayed to PTI. Please do copy my post and send it to him if you know him. I want the party to improve and not do something reckless in its first year. Do not ban private schools. Instead reform the public schools on their model. I saw similar ideas in his book a personal history. Also I have ideas on the Panchayat/Jirga system.
Welcome comment and very welcome initiative. Much needed. Though I remember Yousuf Raza Gillani the corrupt promising to raise it to 8% and nothing happening just like Raja Pervez Ashraf's white lie as power minister that the energy crisis would be eliminated.
The thing is people may realize when they come to power some things are impossible. But this should happen.
This is the crux of the statement. Brilliant. 1 Billion of Zardari and 1 Billion of Nawaz. Enough to educate thousands of children for years
.
Well said.
They should be in the mainstream but the curricula? He said nothing about the curriculum in the schools. I am imagining JI/JUI thugs in univesity now. University of Karachi people used to seeing them. @
Secur might know.
There should be special schools for them that teach them moderate religion and theories of Ibn Rushd and mu'tazila thought. Also they should be taught each mans faith is his own concern.
Even you are unsure about this as we can see.
I do not believe English is to blame somehow... I don't know how English can be to blame for division. I know urdu and plan to buy my driver sajji some day soon. Most english speakers know urdu too and are bilingual. I don't understand this attack on English.
Sounds good, though I have no experience of the civil system so I cannot say devolution to the town level is better or control by the provincial government is. But local may lead to teaching of indigenous languages. Like Hindko in Hazara division. Maybe @
Safriz would be happy.
I am so glad he raised this at all. No one reall cares about them and at least 500 schools have been shut in FATA and in some Shirani areas of Balochistan where there is heavy infiltration of Taliban. Also there are 3400 schools destroyed by flooding and militants in various areas of Pakhtunkhwa. No one has rebuilt them. 468 have been destroyed by militants in FATA with Bajaur making up the majority.
Good to see you are also a critic. I have always noticed this nonchalance in our PTI supporters and it is the best feature I believe in us. We do not stop thinking for ourselves, questioning party ideals and demanding better. This is what makes us fully capable of changing the political scenario, not just that but all of Pakistan.
I think Imran Khan is over-focusing on some things like universal education and taking it to the letter. Its near impossible having a universal education system for the country. For example when we say one education for all regions what about Pashto being taught in Pakhtunkhwa and Sindhi in Sindh. What about the history of Raja Dahir, Talpur kingdoms, Rajputs, Pir Roshan, Suris, Hurs being taught? This has to be covered too depending on the region. Pakhtunkhwa should know about the kalam of Rehman Baba as the Sindhis should know about the Hur movement while Balochs should know about the folk legend of Hani and Sheh Mureed.
Interesting to know what @
muse and supporters like @Awesom and @
AstanoshKhan think of this. This is a detailed analysis of what I think of the education policy. Manana.
