It definitely needs work you're right but it can't be 100% decentralised.I definitely can see where you are coming from, perhaps you are right in many ways
But
9th grade biology textbooks literally deny darwinian evolution by quoting religion instead of science.
Pak studies books label Bengali rebels as terrorists and dont mention the 1971 genocide anywhere
I havent seen a mention of SSDs in high school comp textbooks, just some (nearly) outdated storage devices.
The books are also poorly printed, not to mention they have to undergo a check by some mullahs beforehand too.
I think both of us know how accountable our government is, i dont think i trust them.
Perhaps there should be a certain metric upon which a students capabilities must be judged, but idk about that
End of day Pakistani textbooks work to ideologically confine the reader making him a slave of government institutions
Same has been the case even with American public school textbooks
I think i'd rather prefer more autonomy over what me or my child learns
It should be centralised for the sake of organisation, but the cirriculum and textbooks themselves need work.
This is how it works best in the best performing countries, don't try reinvent the wheel based on feelings, we have tried and tested perfect models sitting infront of us.
Why so much fu'ing subsidies, on top of that these elites prevent meaningful reforms from taking place because it damages their income, they also use hook and crook methods if someone enters the market which could threaten them (typically meaning they are more competent and offer better services)There is also the problem of no set schedule. Final Exams can be when ever the school decides. It seems a lot is run in an ad hoc manner.
I guess it all part of the consequences of driving off the most competent people and those still in Pakistan have to manage as best as possible until they (if we’ll off enough or highly educated enough to make it abroad) too can emigrate if given a chance.
There was the scene in the movie reluctant fundamentalist, asking what the Pakistani dream was. The main character as the professor in the movie puts the caveat of “one that doesn’t involve emigrating”.
Basically, 800K of probably the most productive people left in 2022 and $17+ billion is given as subsidies for the elite. If just $3 Billion were spent on education of young kids it would put 25 million kids in school, probably employing more than a million teachers. A billion more and we could improve university education to a decent level and a further $500 million to a billion could boost the quality of our top universities. Our IT talent could come out of this modest investment in only 2-4 years.
They are forcefully occupying this country with their mediocrity
