Issue with Pakistani qoum azaadi keh baad bhi gooray ki ghulami!!
Sir knowledge should be accessible to everyone and anyone and in case of Pakistan where majority is uneducated but can speak and understand urdu i am sure they will benifit if they could read and write and understand knowledge if it was in language they are comfortable in!!
Dude you are underestimating power of child's brain, they are dozens times better in learning then grown up. Problem isn't language but the methods of teaching where our education system sucks - Urdu and English medium alike. Here children of friends go to Persian schools and they're doing much better than their counter parts in Pakistan going into Urdu and English medium schools, and their Farsi is as good as the natives. My daughter attended farsi kindergarten and she was much better than my son who did it in Pakistan despite that he is more intelligent than her.
As I mentioned earlier that Punjab's literacy rate was higher 160 years ago than today, and education at that time was mostly in Persian. The time of translating knowledge in Urdu has long gone - we don't have time, resources and capable human resources to do so, on top of that Urdu isn't fit for this purpose - I studied in government schools myself, still remember my experience of trying to learn basics of computer from Urdu book or the accounting from Urdu book thinking that it will be easier than English. So, it's better to teach the language instead of reinventing wheel. Singapore can be good example to follow.
