Was their some gapes in their Nation Building Narratives? How humanitarian crisis based on huge displacement & communal segregation effected people of British India in general and people of the Punjab & Kashmir in particular? How elite & powerful people took benefit from it. What were the fatal impact on common people with the emergence of new elite based on allotment politics? Muslim league fought against One Nation Theory (ONT) till 14 August 1947 but after creation of Pakistan it adopted ONT based on centralism and it was very much contrary to  federalism. Why Dr Ambedkar rejected linguistic provinces theory and coined administrative provinces and many more issues.

Will Uniform Curriculum Solve the riddles of Pakistani Education: Watch the debate

 

Will Uniform Curriculum Solve the riddles of Pakistani Education

Watch the debate 

Uniform Education is a populist yet misleading narrative. If you have a class base society, class base State structure than how can you run classless education?

In Pakistan, thanks to colonial legacy, we have an education system that has minor  link with knowledge but all emphasis is on career or jobs. 

In our National Narrative there is less room for diversity and over emphasis on segregation and that reflects in education too.

There are 4 types of education institutions in Pakistan. 

1. Public Schools, Colleges &  Universities

2. Madrassas

3. Low Fee Private Schools

4. Elite Schools
