Since 2004 we spent huge amount on Higher Education which proved futile. It was a bad policy and wastage of money and resources. If your basic education is infected, substandard, irrelevant then how can you get benefit from higher education. Due to that bad policy we have a huge number of substandard HE institutions and substandard degrees as well as professors. It was Tony Blair who revealed in his book that Britain used HE money as foreign policy initiative after 2003. Even a common Pakistani knew that we had a bad and substandard basic education system since 1980s ,we had biased textbooks, we had bad curriculum and on top of it there was not any atmosphere of learning in schools but Mushraff government wanted to use HE as a western face only. Now a days Professors and Teachers are getting reasonably better salaries and perks , in many cases , more than private sector yet education standards are deteriorating not only in public but also in private sector. You reap what you sow . You forgot your basic education and now you are reaping it.
