Ek umeed si hai, Janey kahan hai



 Ek umeed si hai, jaane kahan hai
Agar zinda hon wohi ek waje hai

Dalte howe is sooraj main 
ek chand ki kiran ban kr aati hai

Is tuloo e aftab main 
parindo ka gun ban kr aati hai

In guzarte howe dino main 
Ek naya mosam ban kr aati hai

Teri yaad ki us aziat mian 
tumien cho kr wo aati hai 

Hazaar pal boola hon use
aziat deney samney aa jati hia

Ek umeed si hai, janey kahan hai
kya roop dhare, jane kon hai

Sapne, Sapne He Reh Gy (Sad Urdu Poetry)

Jin ko panay kay kabi sapne dekhy they
Wo  sapne,  sapne   he   reh   gy

Zindagi kay shabo-roz nay aisa uljay rakha
kay fursat main be ulajtey reh gy

Kia kia khawab Aankhon main sujay they
Wo sub khawab k khawab he reh gy

Zindagi ab kaisey guzrey gi apni
Jab dil main sirf dard reh gy 

Hamin to ab aadat hai zakhim khaney ki
Sari umer dard chupatte he reh gy 

Aaj shaamin itni khamoosh kion hain 
shayed jis pal ka intezar tha, wo pal pal he reh gy

Kia gila kron main ab kisi sai 
Jab apne he apne na reh gy 

Aey sham to ab na saja, sanwara kr
Jin ka intezaar tha wo kisi aor k ho kar reh gy

Education, a root cause?


Education is a key to success for any nation. You want a successful and developed nation, make education common and accessible to everyone. Education's purpose is not only to get jobs but it also polish the thinking of human, broader their horizon, help to understand people, help their country to move in right direction, help to solve their problems themselves. A good education system, right syllabus, directed paths of study, and good teachers can give guarantee to a successful nation.

One of the major problems or you can say a basic problem of Pakistan is lake of education and then right education. If you see the division of Pakistani populations, you will see that a major portion almost 70% of people are living in rural areas. The people in rural areas are lacking behind even their most basic facilities like education, medical, sewerage system and if we go little beyond of it then drinking water, proper houses and little more proper roads, conveyance and much more. Cities have their own problems and It could be from them that I pointed out earlier but comparatively they are much better.

Poverty, lack of education awareness, shortage of good trained teachers, directionless education career path and poor infrastructure at villages are becoming hindrance in education. Unfortunately we don't have visionary & well educated leaders, who could understand these types of common and easy to solve issues, which could give guarantee of a successful nation. Our national and provisional assemblies elected members can help nation in this regard easily, but unfortunately most of them are themselves uneducated (I hope you understand the context ). We desperately need well educated, visionary, practical and problem solver in our politics.

Unfortunately, most of teachers usually belonging to rural areas schools are not honest with their job at all. Most of them even do not possesses knowledge of subject which they teach. In every class, just one teacher, one good teacher, if he knows how to teach and understand the psyche of their student can be a huge plus in student life. If you want more children to be educated, hire those teachers who have passion and knowledge , and who know how to teach. Political interference in teaching job posts should be prohibited strictly.

Poverty is another major problem that is daunting parents to send their children to schools. Pakistanis give lot of charity, what if they also try to focus poor students who are unable to pay even their minor dues, honestly i have seen many people who are actually doing this. It will be a long term investment though, one day that child will be able to earn for their family instead of relying charities forever. And InShaAllah one day the destiny of this nation will change.

Problems in Pakistan's education system

Education is key for nation building. A good education system not only increases literacy rates but also produces good results for a nation. Pakistan like many other developing countries is facing many problem in education sector. Countries like Pakistan where extremism, poverty, child labor, unemployment are increasing, education becomes very important. Unfortunately our education system is not good as it should be. We are lacking behind in this field even other poor developing countries too.

 There are many problems and hurdles that are not allowing our education system to improve. Pakistan have a poor infrastructure of schools and labs. Not enough proper rooms for students to sit and if schools have rooms then not up to the mark. Most of children at primary or high level schools have to take lectures by sitting outside in playing grounds. In case of bad weather, student have to take leave as there is no other option due to lack of proper roofs. Many government Schools building are there that are of no use but people are using them for their personal storage, for animals etc.

Teachers are key in any education system. Well educated and trained teachers can changed the destiny of this country but unfortunately we are lacking behind in this field as well. We do not have much qualified, trained and passionate teachers. Political influence, nepotism are denting our education system. Most of teachers are under educated. We do not have proper training for teachers that guide then how to teach, how to handle students, how to change with changing time. They are not answer able to any one. Government should focus on this issue to eradicate education problems.

A major portion of Pakistani population is living in rural areas where literacy rate is too low. Most of parents are not much educated and so they do not focus much on their children education. They are unaware about importance of education. So when there children do not want to go to schools, they don't take any action about that. Awareness of education in villages can play important role to improve literacy rate. In villages schools are very rare and high schools and colleges are even far away that is another major issue. Government should construct new schools and colleges in villages areas too.

Poverty is another major problem for people of Pakistan and the can not afford expenses of their children education. However the education at primary Schools are not costly at all but the earning of people mostly in villages are very low and their children also have to contribute in it and that's why child labor in Pakistan is very common. Expensive higher education is also a big problem.

There is no good check and balance mechanism for schools and colleges. Teachers are not answerable to any one. We do not have proper labs for technical education. If we have then we do not have good equipment and trained teachers. English is a ghost for many students, so they quite their education because of English language even if the can support academies too.

Last but not least Government should take action to eradicate all these problems and to make this country no less than others.
Please  feel free to mention other education problems & suggestion.
