Save Public Schooling in Pakistan
Parental Voice for Quality Education
It is right time to raise the voice for the improvement of
deteriorated Public Schooling in Pakistan. It is already late yet if we
continue this than we will not able to save public schooling in future any
more. In big cities we already lost
public schooling due to continuous ignorance. The message is dangerous not only for the
state of education but for the country itself and the message is “Quality
education and Quality health care is for elite & upper middle classes
only”. The solution of this complex
question is neither in the private sector nor in the popular slogan of uniform
education system. We should reject Black
& White analysis and tries to find Out of box solutions. One fine example
is Maapay Model which needs your little attention. Recently, I attended a
seminar organized by Consumer Rights commission of Pakistan regarding the
Model. Engagement of all stakeholders including elected representatives and
research based activism is appreciable in this model. No doubt, Tehsil level
data of public schools derived from district level data of education by Alif
Alan & I-SAPs by CRCP is a good effort which helps all those who want to transform
Pakistani education system in favour of people of Pakistan. The story itself
enough to understand how can we address this complex but important issue of
public schooling in Pakistan. The model is in practice in 4 Punjabi districts
namely Mandi Bhaudin, Gujranwalla, Gujrat and Jehlum. Example of Tehsil Khaian, District Gujrat
shows presence of 25 schools without electricity in the data. The district has
a huge cantonment and on top of it the district remained home of a prime
minister, chief minister and education minister. The situation of public schools of Lhore is
also an example of criminal neglect. Punjab Local government ordinance 2012
provides a good opportunity in the form of Education and health authorities yet
question is criteria for selection and continuous monitoring of the monitors. Data
given by the NGO is not only about the missing facilities but also identifies
quality of education too. In the portion of missing facilities one should add
play grounds and libraries too. Standing Committee for education in Punjab
assembly and Government of the Punjab should consider Maapay Model immediately as
a replicable model. Read and enjoy.
کسی بھی ملک کے مستقبل کا انحصار اس کے سکولوں پر ہوتا ہے کہ اگر پودے کی نشوونما ٹھیک نہیں ہوتی تو پھل نہ لگنے یا خراب ہونے کے بعد ماتم کرنا بے وقت کی راگنی ہی کہلاتا ہے۔ اگر آج ہمارے سرکاری تعلیمی ادارے بالخصوص سکول بنیادی سہولتوں سے محروم ہیں، معیارِ تعلیم زبوں حالی کا شکار ہے اور اساتذہ، ماپے (والدین)، صاحب حیثیت افراد، محکمہ تعلیم اپنی اپنی ذمہ داریاں نہیں نبھاتے تو ہم یہ اُمیدکیسے کر سکتے ہیں کہ ملک پاکستان 2025ء میں مضبوط و توانا ہوگا۔ سرکاری تعلیمی اداروں کی حالت زار کو بہتر کرنے کی بجائے ضیاالحق دور سے ہم نے نیا وطیرہ اپنایا ہوا ہے کہ اس ملک میں ایسے دانشوروں اور عقل کے اندھوں کی بہتات ہے جو نجی تعلیمی بندوبست کو مجبوراً اپنائے، بندوبست کی بجائے بطور متبادل تعلیمی بندوبست سر عام سراہتے ہیں۔ -
