See the bold above and my responses below:
1) Notice, your post started from "the purpose of this post wasn't to support one party but show collective failure", and then you ended at PMLN saying that education isn't their priority.....talk about contradiction in a post!!!
2) Education IS on the top of Punjab's agenda. If you see it, they want 100% children in school by 2017 I think or sooner. They are introducing tablets into their learning center as their plan is to introduce distance education like it is in the West for online education for remote, smaller areas.
The Punjab government has a goal, it wants to introduce India type of a model, where educated Pakistani labor will be used across the globe, bringing in serious high dollars, like Doctors, Engineers, IT, etc. They've done many tours with the foreign institutes, investment houses as well as with large global organization. I've had the honor to be in one of these tours and we saw modern Engineering Universities, Medical, Cardiac and other focused schools getting completed throughout the Pubjab. No other province had opened up HALF the number of these professional schools, compared to Punjab. So PLEASE, be careful when you respond. Not everyone on here is an internet warrior. Some people know what's going on across the ocean actually!!
Another example, Dell computers and a few other brand names have deals with Punjab government to provide cheaper education. So Dell and others offer cheaper laptops for students. Similarly, Danish school system is a great idea. IT labs have been setup across Punjab in junior and high schools. So not sure how else you can see "progress" when there is no comparison with any other place!!! And all these examples show you that the government / elected officials don't want education??? Really?
3) Sustainable growth......what is it? you guys use buzz words to impress readers. How about you respond with an actual analysis on it and let's discuss that. I'd like to see why you think there is no sustainable growth in Pakistan at this time....
