The Outdated curriculum and its effects (Pakistan educational institutions)

 "Without education it is complete darkness and with education it is light. Education is a matter of life and death to our nation. The world is moving so fast that if you do not educate yourselves you will be not only completely left behind, but will be finished up." said by the founder of Pakistan.

And indeed is a comprehensive quote from a great  man but are we following his advice ..

No we are not. 22.8 million children are out of school even after 73 years of independence.

In his quote he has adviced us to keep up with the word but our curriculum is out dated. We have not been able to adopt changes and upgrade our curriculum according to the speed of the modern world.If we still don't upgrade our curriculum we will be left behind.Our education system mainly focus on memorizing not on actually understanding the concept.Quoting these lines from an article ⏬

Pakistan seems to be backward in technology and innovation. The key reason behind this is our outdated curriculum which restricts the capacity building and creativity among the students. The present generation is learning the same knowledge which the last two generations have learnt. Institutes in Pakistan lack activity-based learning and cramming culture restrains concepts development in students. Hence the teaching methodology also needs to be advanced and practical learning should be adopted. Using e-learning as a platform to provide education to students should be considered as an option in our educational system. ( Mehwish Khan :CSCR )

 In high school youngster can pass an examination if he/she got 17 marks out of 50 (Islamic and Pakistan studies). If a person cannot take atleast 50% marks in subject related to his Religion and Country, how can he become succsessful in future life.They should be taught these subjects in a story form, so they can enjoy this and remember for a long time gaining at least 50% marks.

We all have some part to play in it, so kindly play your part wisely.
