Last year, Pakistanis living and working abroad sent home $18 billion to support their families. This is the equivalent of 6.5 percent of the country’s GDP and the largest source of foreign income after exports. All of these factors can help Pakistan become economically resilient.
Mostly Pakistan diaspora is vocational workers. Now, imagine getting them educated and be Dr and other professionals. Only few thousands can send as much as 100 thousands from Gulf.
Pakistan needs to ensure that its people can participate in the economy and benefit from economic gains. And it needs to integrate itself more, globally and regionally.
Education is a must for basic civic sense, HQ product making, learning etc. For instance, adopting a new technology or medium, to grow your business. Also, to convince them for long term goals like making them realise impact of product quality on sale and market retention. Such as growing HQ onion gives more return. In UK 1.1£ for 3 A grade pieces. You can also buy a 1kg bundle for 60p. So, in Pak, we need to broaden our horizon., and only education can do that.
As a result of rapid population growth, Pakistan is now the 6th most populous country on Earth, with half the population younger than 24. At the present rate of growth, Pakistan’s population will exceed 300 million by 2050.
If we don;t educate our people, then 0+0+0+0+...= 0. Number cannot do anything, if they are not productive. Plus, they will eb a burden on our social system.
Pakistan must do far better on education.
The ticking of the demographic time bomb is getting louder
Not only better vocational training, but better HE. Basic education improves our understanding, quality, hygiene, work ethics.. Like, if you try to teach the work force in Pak that every step/break/delay you take cost money to
entire country, people cannot grasp it
I argue we cannot improve our H.Education bcz it require huge investment in terms of human and capital. Like, in Pakistan with just one paper and PhD, you can become an assit Prof. Here, in UK, even some lab workers have published papers. Asst prof here publish 10s of papers and have supervised a lot of projects.
I have already argued that there is a reason why we achieve highest O/A level grade achievers but cannot translate them into scientists in Pak unis. Bcz, we don't only lack infrastructure but mental faculty to to teach HE subjects.
In June 2010 she was appointed as Managing Director of the
World Bank Group and resigned as Minister of Finance
As finance minister from 2005 to 2010, Sri Mulyani was known as a tough reformist
[2][3] and was largely credited with strengthening Indonesia's economy, increasing investments and steering
Southeast Asia's largest economy
Brother, I always doubt theses credenials. Like we have not only ministers, but even a PM who was an employee of these orgs, and they made fiscal policy of my country to serve their institution in west. I hope she is legit.

about teaching methods, this my thread.
Introduction Currently, I am in my final year of PhD at Birmingham City University (BCU). During this role, I had an opportunity to teach MSc students about research activities. Before joining BCU, I had taught various engineering modules to BSc students in Pakistan. It was my first job related...

some thoughts on agriculture
Seriously, I feel the same.. The people/org who have money, in Pak, just think of flour/sugar mils, property, news channel (not now), pvt education institutes, etc.
"They didn't think about MEMS lab, composites, high strength steel, etc. You now, our chemical imports are 5$ billion dollars !! No one interested in chemical industry except fertilisers. Then we don't have vaccine manufacturers. We need good chemical indutries for making can food, long life milk, toffees , chocolate... It will reduce bill on imports
Even we can have some HQ agrarian products, if our institutes can just do research. Like Japanese Ruby Roman grapes, 1000$/bunch, or Wagyu beef 1000$/kilo. and Gulf can be the target market to sell these expensive items. "
