Post Secondary Education in Pakistan
We need new qualified, educated politicians with skills in Political Science, Foreign Policy, Economic and Sustainable Development, and Defence and Military Expertise, besides having knowledge of Pakistani culture and religion.. They must have a clear record and set of references. They can be unknown in the country, that is they be completely new top guns on the scene. Hot shots men and women.
In democracies of the west, politicians have apprenticeships [ internship students ], who then climb up the stairs in their careers and make a place for themselves. Because politics is a profession.
Currently, which institution in Pakistan comes close to having qualified people with the above credentials?
1) One is the Defence institutions who have such capable people. May be some of them can migrate to the profession of Politics in Pakistan.
2) Other s the vast reservoir of Pakistani Human Resources.
For the second option above, i would like to mention the following statistics
There are 139 Universities in Pakistan with an enrollment of 1.32 million. http://unesco.org.pk/education/documents/2013/pslm/Pakistan_Education_Statistics.pdf or an average of 9,496 per university. 1.13 million students enrolled in 75 public universities, an average of 15,000 students per university.
This is a very low figure for a country the size of Pakistan with a possible population of more then 100 million. people in the age range of 17 to 50. A typical well established public university [ more than 2 decades of experience ] in North America would have a full-time enrollment of 20,000 on average. Canadian Province Quebec's 18 universities had an enrollment of 260,000 new students last year excluding foreign registrations. For a population of a 4.9 million in the age range between 15 and 54 (5%) as per 2001 census and the projected population in 2014, this figure is an impressive achievement by the successive Quebec governments since the 1960s revolution in education. It includes both full-time and part-time students.
70% of Pakistani engineers have emigrated consistently out of the country since 2007.

Of the more than 3 million Pakistanis living in North America, Europe, and Australasia, assuming 20% coming from families employed in the highly skilled professions including trades, and one bread-winner in the family of 6 members on average, we are looking at 100,000 individuals.
Pakistan is known to have a current skilled ( all modern skills ) manpower of more than 2 million.
