There is a standard of everything
and it has the power of attraction and fascination. Most of the time people
associate the word standard with life “standard life” and each of them define
it according to their approaches. Standard life might be the name of having a good
job, a well-furnished house, an accelerating car, servants, meet-ups at expensive
points, wearing and eating brands, and walking with human brands. Such standard
life is the game of money. The other standard can be of education.
The standard of education is a
bit different from the standard of life. But it is the key to have a standard
lifestyle. We cannot confine the definition of standard education in one line,
or paragraph even on a page. I would like to give my opinion about standard
education. For me, standard education is to have well-trained facilitators,
good infrastructure, equipped labs, learning environment with advanced
technology. There should be a facilitator in learning institutes instead of
teachers. And for better learning students should be the center, not the
teaching. If the learning would be student-centered then they can learn more
and with enjoyment. This sort of education system can help us to educate the
nation in true sense and can change the mindset and system as well.
The traditional education system cannot work in this era and we cannot compete with the world. In Pakistan, we have an education system but it needs reforms. The private education system meets with the standard whereas the actual education system is far beyond. Every individual cannot effort private education hence it is necessary and urgent to provide one standard system of education. The government aims to bring reforms to the system and it is really good news for the whole nation. Because education is the only solution to all the problems. The education department of Pakistan is working on the curriculum and will implement the One Nation One Curriculum for the nation (Aik Qaum) . It is good to hear that the Balochistan government announces the establishment of 100 middle schools. And I would like to request Balochistan Govt not to just establish schools but with the standard education system. If you have a standard education system then you have everything.
The children who are in the playgroup today are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. And it is well said that today’s readers are tomorrow’s leaders. So, train the readers to make them the leaders. Follow one curriculum, maintain one standard and be one nation (Aik Qaum).
Pakistan is the land of talented
and intellectual people. It has given birth to talent in every field. The
people of Pakistan are good artists, who can produce art of any kind. They have
a grip over musicology, they are the best actors, they produce living pictures,
and their architecture is depicted in their construction. These people are high
in intellect as they have contributed to the different fields of study. They
are the sculptors and producing amazing items from mud. They are no less than
anyone in the ground of sports. The brave people are the top-level
mountaineers. They are never behind in the field of studies. The spontaneity of
their writing skills is outstanding. They do not just write in their language
but also have earned a name in multi-languages. And their written pieces are
full of knowledge and power.
A good number of Pakistani
writers have proved themselves as the best writers in the English language as
well. They have disseminated their visionary thoughts to the world through
different genres. There are many good poets, novelists, researchers, and
essayists. But today we will talk about some of the prominent Pakistani-English
