It is very simple just introduce a single syllabus for all over the country students.

Despite of the rich and the poor syllabus, English and Urdu medium syllabus. The education system we have in Pakistan now is discrimination against poor and non-English speakers. The elite class education is the one that will lead them to hold the country resources and even country while the poor and other medium students are just wasting their time to be honest. They will become good human beings but soon they can turn back very quickly because of injustice and inequality, I think it is a very serious issue and the concerned people and authorities should take an immediate action.

The system should be changed from being 'Ratta' oriented to practical oriented. So much of a child's ability is wasted in memorizing things which he might never need in his life like where salt or other minerals are found and the life history of certain poets. They should be made to think more and educated to be creative, to give their ideas and to listen to other people's ideas. The most important thing is that the basic education should be provided to all children and youth. The improvement in the education system is not a big problem. We need to educate our thousands of teachers first especially in rural areas if we want to implement standard English Medium syllabus like the high class private schools in Pakistan. It should be mandatory for them to take refresher courses and workshops provided for free by the Gov. It will take billions of Rs. but thats the way we can revolutionalise this country. First, we need to define the purpose of the education. Do we want to produce clerk, or mere operator or world leaders in every discipline? Do we want to make good human beings or professionals? I am for producing good human beings, and world leaders in every study area. This is an almost formidable goal, but certainly possible. Many important points have already been made above in this direction. In this post I will restrict myself to matriculation and college education. Immediate thing is to improve the examination system. That is it should no longer be memory test. For the time being, we can model O-level or A-level system. O-level or Alevel does not give a single textbook, only syllabus. Based on this, publisher commissioned authors to write books. One usually studies more than one book. This will cure most of the ill known as Ratta fiction. This brings us to contents of the courses. Most of the courses have actually pretty decent syllabus. Only possible exception is Islamiat. We can make Islamiat syllabus our own. Islamic Council can be given that task. A related issue is that We don't have technical book writers in regional languages. We can remedy this by translating the books recommended by O- or A-level administration. It can be done in Urdu first, and then other regional languages like Sindhi, Pashto, Baluchi, and Punjabi. On the other hand, we should also promote book writing within Pakistan in Urdu and other widely understood regional languages. The entire above step are only the starting point. Through course of time, it will evolve and reached to point than it will become ours. It will also direct the transformation of our education system. I believe that it will prove to be very fruitful starting point. I believe following measures are vital to improve the system: 1. Improve, update and form curriculum, texts, pedagogy, and examination and evaluation techniques. Give more importance to language education and mathematics at the primary and secondary levels. The unfortunate fact is that usually even our postgraduates lack basic skills in these areas. Language and mathematics are the foundation on which acquisition of other skills depends. Though much of the problem is due to poor teaching, yet curriculum, texts, pedagogy and examination techniques also have a lot to do with the current situation.

2. Instruction in science, history and social studies should be incorporated in language teaching at the primary and secondary levels through activities and projects. Computer education should also be introduced gradually right from the elementary stage in education. 3. More emphasis should be given to the development of educational institutions for some unconventional disciplines as fashion designing, art, music and literature. There is a lot of talent in the country in this field and a great, high return international market for the products and services of skillful people in this area. Similarly, a system of continual vocational training should also be introduced for workers in different fields. At the proper stage, instruction in foreign languages (especially Arabic for closer cultural and economic ties with the Arab world, for curbing sectarianism and fanaticism, for greater unity in the Ummah, and for better understanding of Islam in the educated classes) and social skills (for enhancing Emotional Intelligence) should also be encouraged. Both these areas have gained immense importance in the wake of globalization. 5. Religious education should be incorporated in the mainstream education. For this purpose, the most important thing is introduction of Arabic as a second language at the appropriate stage. This may not be as difficult as it seems. Some work may be required in forming the curricula and pedagogy, but the rest can be done just by including good level Arabic in Civil Services and Army entrance examinations. Similarly, good Arabic can be made a prerequisite for entrance into a number of other professions and for promotion. (For example in the judiciary it makes sense to have a judge who has a sound base in Arabic deciding about Islamic law). Demand will create its own supply, and it is expected that schools, institutions and parents will also be important contributing factors.
