Education Pakistan

        Pakistan is a third world country. It’s evolution is quiet random. People coming from different races and different regions live here. After the independence it is constantly facing problems. One after an other in the form of poverty, loans, interests, hidden wars, interests of great powers in this region, etc. I am not going to discuss political history of Pakistan over here. I just want to mention that only the reign of Ayub Khan was unforgettable for economic progress after that there always remained a mixed impression of economy, business, trade, etc. These economical states affect the education system in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s literacy rate is not even somewhere close to the neighboring countries India, Srilanka, Iran, Bangladesh are the countries with increasing literacy rate.

Pakistan has four provinces. Punjab is considered with the largest population.  Sindh, KPK and Blochistan are listed after Punjab respectively. Northern Punjab is the most advanced area of Pakistan. It has progressed so much and literacy rate in those areas are also very high than southern Punjab. This area of Punjab is under the influence of feudalism. Landlords own the lives of of the people living in these areas. Those land lords don’t want the people to be more aware. Education will off course lead those people to rebellion acts. Landlords don’t want it. So, they are a big problem to increase the literacy rate in those areas.

Sindh is also a big province. Inner Sindh is completely under the feudalism. Those feudal lords are mostly the influential personalities. They are in the government. They have the power of money. They can buy the corrupt politicians in no time. And if some one is not “For Sale”, they will do whatever they can to snatch there interests. They don’t want the people to become educated. There own children study in expensive and top ranked schools and universities around the World and children of the people living under their influence don‘t have even the facility of basic education. Karachi is the city which is the most literate area of Sindh. But many people in Karachi come from inner Pakistan to do job and earn there living. They are mostly illiterate. They don’t even know hoe to write there own name. But they still want there children to be educated.

Blochistan is largest province by area in Pakistan. It has a little population. There are huge distances between cities and colonies. Many areas are unpopulated. People live in small communities with a great distance between two of them. So, it is very difficult to get them educated. Mostly they live in small tribes and sometimes those tribes are huge. Whole the community wants to live according to the conventions  of the tribes. Some tribes love their children to be educated. Some don’t want the education and watch it in the perspective of alien civilization.

KPK is the province with beautiful people and mountains. Most people like there children to get admitted in Maktab or Madrisa. But now thinking of people is changing. And they have startes to get there children admitted in government and Private schools. Literacy rate is increasing out there. Those people are actually warm hearted. They have sense enough to run with the new world but they also have their conventions. Their faithful to everything. If there is a job to be done by them they will do whatever to make it done.

There is not a single education system in Pakistan. People with different standards have different educational systems. People who can afford huge fees want there children to be in Cambridge or Oxford based systems. Mediocre want their children to be with elite class or to be in an English Medium. But the cost of those systems doesn’t allow the people to get admitted their children in their desired systems. So, private schools are only place for them. The poor has no choice other than opting the government schools.

Now it comes to the syllabus and way of teaching. In a third World country’s grass root level is always expected to be conservative and old fashioned. As it is in Pakistan. Teachers in government schools are mostly not enough qualified to be a teacher. Secondly there way of teaching is so dumb and old fashioned that students are forced to cram the lessons. Now a days when World is so much progressed, the cramming is rusting the students’ mind.

In some countries Syllabus is changed in every 2 or 3 years. But you will be amazed to hear that in Pakistan syllabus is not changed even after ten years. At the level of high school some stories and lessons are being studied by the 2nd generation. I studies the lesson my mother studied some 20 or 25 years ago.

So firstly we need an equal system in Pakistan. Same at all levels. Secondly there should be a corruption free system. All the students should be treated equally and should have option to opt the field they want.

5 ways to protect yourself against summer’s heat

(1)Keep yourself Hydrated
The major trouble we all face in summer is dehydration! You sweat all the time, drink carbonated drinks, but don’t realize is that in our sweat, we are actually loosing water mixed with salt. Our body works so hard to maintain homeostasis and we don’t bother at all. So drink plenty of water eat fruits which contain a large portion of H2O, large green leafy vegetables. Try to watch your face frequently.

(2)Selection of Clothes
Every kid knows that light colors reflect heat and dark colors absorb heat it may a little hard for fashion divas to follow this but it is to protect yourself from the scorching heat. As you step out of the house, make sure that you try to stick to light colored colors, special to “loose ones”. Off course nobody likes to look like a potato sack, but the more loose the clothes are, the more airy it will be and you will remain cool.


(3)Going Places

During summers , mornings are to hot to go out. Try to remain endorse during daytime, it keep yourself cool with showers and step out at around noon. This way you would not get flat out due to the heat and won’t feel as tired as you should not be don’t forget your transport your car needs protection too! The summer heat pressure in tires so make sure your tires are inflated to the level recommended in your owner’s manual. These days most vehicles have a clear coat over a vase coat. The vase coat provides the vehicle with it’s color whereas the color coat acts as protection barrier protecting the base color from UV rays and any conditions. Make sure when the car is parked, you cover it with a car sheet.

(4)Your Dermal Protection
Most of the people use sun screen lotions to protect there skin and make sure it isn’t exposed to the slight test ray of light. What we forget is that just as our skin, our hair need protection too!

They actually like the environment you provide them, it’s the best! So stay keep, frequently as showers, wear dry clothes and enjoy your summer.

Legalizing Drugs Production and Trafficking

Narcotics are the one of the most addictive things on Earth. People use anti depressants, alcoholic drinks, nicotine to meet up with their drug needs. People use from cigarettes to Marijuana, Hashish and Cocaine to ease up. They can pay whatever they can to get drugs. Cocaine, opium and other narcotics production is banned in most of the countries. Production of these narcotics is only allowed to meet up with the pharmaceutical needs. But  people produce it on their own to get huge profit. Drug producing countries and regions smuggle drugs to and earn huge amount of black money. It is estimated that drugs of value $400 billion has been traded all the time till 2009. It is the most profitable illegal trade of all times.

Drug is the thing whose demand has never been waned. It is always increasing. People around the World need drugs on daily bases. Countries with less law and enforcement has more people involved in this business. Drug lords have made these countries their play grounds. They are killing and corrupting people and minds to get their interests. Mostly criminals from the third World countries are involved in this nasty business. Afghanistan, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, The Bahamas and Burma are the major countries involved in drug producing. Pakistan, India, Guatemala, Laos, Nigeria, Mexico and other countries are involved in transiting drugs. Afghanistan is the primary opium producer in the World. Colombia supplies almost the two third of the demand of cocaine. Mexico is the main country from where drugs enter USA.
People are earning a huge amount of black money from this black business. In Mexico a dug trader named as Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman, leader of Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico, made it to 701st richest person in the World by worth of $1 billion reported by Forbes. He does not hesitate to kill people for drugs. He is one of the four drug lords in Mexico. Those cartels have automatic weapons, body armors, Kevlar helmets and the most sophisticated command and control structure.
Despite all the efforts to eradicate drug smuggling and producing by the governments of those counties, drugs production has increased never decreased. Governments of these countries should legalize the drugs production and trafficking. The legislators of those countries should make laws to make all the drugs activity legal. By this effort the government can nationalize the business of drugs. These laws will help the governments to cover all the drug trade.  Governments can earn a huge amount in the term of custom duty.

May be some people criticize legalizing the drugs because after this more people will be addicted to drugs. Governments will legalize this business and after it they will control the whole demand and supply chain. The drug users will have a special ratio of  drugs to use in a special period of time. This can be used to reduce or keep the drug users level stable. Government will only supply drugs to those who are regular users of drugs. There would be a list of drug users under the observation of government. A new drug user will have to take permit from government to use drugs. He will have to give reason that why does he want to use drugs. This will help the government to know about the new social trends that are compelling the people to use drugs. Government will try to eradicate those reasons. Today drugs valued millions of dollars are burnt by governments Tomorrow those millions of dollars can be used for welfare of human being.

I think legalization of drugs will help a lot to form a better society and earn a huge amount of money which is black now a days and cannot be invested in desired objects, will be available to invest on people and progressive projects.
