Iqbal Response to Skill base Education & Education for Muslims

Iqbal Response to Skill base Education & Education for Muslims 
Here i need to share a letter of Allama Iqbal written at November 27, 1920 , some 93 years back in which he gave his opinion regarding some important issues related to education, ,,our education,,,,,yet after almost a century we r still reluctant to adopt it. He wrote about two issues
1.     Skill base education (to gain economic freedom before political freedom)
2.     For education of Muslims no 1 priority will be to accept , engage all Muslim school of thoughts (Sects)

 These days we are again busy in developing a new education policy but will we decide core issues related to OUR EDUCATION THIS TIME? Or they will remain ambiguous, misleading and controversial. It includes a lot of issues like

  •  Linking technical education with general education,
  •  Linking education with the market, 
  • Place of Pakistani mother tongues in our education system,
  • Development of Language Commission so that (a) we can readjust role of English and Urdu (b)no one can use language or dialect controversies in future, 
  • Co-education at primary level,
  • Linking examination system with Learning Out Comes rather than obsolete prevent  method to link it with Textbooks
  • Non sectarian approach in Muslim education
 In November 1920, Allama Iqbal wrote a letter in response to Mahatama Gandhi in which he gave no 1 priority to technical education. in his message to First education conference M A Jinnah emphasized need for technical education. 1951 2nd education conference was on technical education yet we still failed to link it with general education. We r producing metric, FA,BA useless people who can replace c larks only.
