24:38 - The majority of people in Pakistan cannot afford quality education because of financial constraints. corrupt politicians whose children go to private or foreign schools.

Fixed it.

P.S. Private schools under university level are illegal in Finland (with few specialized exceptions).

The Finnish model will only work in small European and East Asian countries.

Private schools exist here because public schools are beyond dogsh*t.

That's probably true. Government accountability doesn't scale well beyond a certain point even in the best of democracies.

Private colleges like Punjab Group of Colleges and KIPS ,Star Academy in Lahore
Are providing quality education to students.
No Government college can compete them because due to sheer competition between PGC/KIPS/Star and co,they spend huge money on improving their education standard and hire polished teachers.

In PGC,my biology teacher's salary was 2.8million rupees/year and this was two years ago.
Physics and Chemistry teachers earn even more.

Public schools suck even in the USA so one can imagine just how incredibly awful they are in places like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Scandinavia is a unique place, it is the only plus in the world that has true democracy. Since Scandinavian countries have very small populations it is much easier for them to properly run their public institutions better than the rest of the world.

All of the institutions that you mentioned are considered pathetic by people like me who have studied O and A levels. I will commend PGC for making massive improvements recently, especially in Ed-Tech. I am currently studying at UCP which is PGC's university and considering the capital that they have they can do a hundred times more than what they are doing right now.

I was talking about FSC/Entry level education where PGC is a choice of top notch talent.

Though there are many reputable chains of schools in the private section there are some concerns about the transparency and monopolization:

1st:
Some control on financial demands of the private schools to be exercised and the teachers should be paid in reference to the monthly fee charges of the class.

2nd:
Corruption in every institute and ministry is at the apex in Pakistan and education is not an exception. Previously there was a school in Rawalpindi named 'SADIQ PUBLIC SCHOOL'; in every board exam their students usually hold all the top positions, later it was found that the admin of the school was manipulating the results with enormous bribes to 'Board Admin'.

Personally I prefer IB curriculum compared to Cambridge system.

Almost anything is better than our Federal Board. Both are highly respected international programs.

Did you study the IB curriculum?

 

[niaz]

In my humble opinion A level curriculum based on the UK is too theoritcal. I would prefer that Pakistanis should switch over to the IB (International Bacculaureate Diploma) instead. IB is recognized allover the world including the UK institutions of highr education.

Yea both are. But the learning approach of IB makes pupils better prepared for university education and practical life.

Did you study the IB curriculum?

No. British.
