Danish Scool System

According to Islamic preaching, Islam emphasis on wisdom, such motivation couldn't see in any other religion or school of thought. Although the development of any country or nation depends upon the related to the quality of education. Those nations reach their destinations whose country's rulers take steps for the educational uplifting. In order to provide the platform to our coming generation where they could play their active role in the development of the country.

Rulers having different schools of thought but their destination are same for the betterment for the nation and country as well. Chief Minister of Punjab a Shahbaz Sharif one of think-tank who has made various interventions for poverty improvement. He has recently taken initiative for an educational Project title "Danish School System", perusing initiatives in the education sector encompassing access to education, core content of quality, attendance of teachers, their training and ability to teach, up-gradation and standardization of curriculum, etc.

"To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe" (Marilyn vos Savant)

"Centers of Excellence Authority", established by the Government of Punjab through an Act passed by the legislature. The word "Danish" originates from Persian language, adopted in Urdu and means deep rooted wisdom that results from consistent accumulation and assimilation of knowledge.

At present, six Danish Schools are functional in two districts of Southern Punjab i.e. Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan. The schools, situated at Christian, Hasilpur and Rahim Yar Khan, are six in number as each school has two separate buildings and other infrastructure for boys and girls. Four projects of Danish Schools are in pipeline in Attock, Dera Ghazi Khan, Mianwali and Rajenpur districts. Chief Minister of Punjab a Shahbaz Sharif intends to open Dansih Schools all over the country. Large amount has allocated in the development work like in the case of Attock, worth Rs400 to 500 million was in progress in Attock; in the new budget, Rs500 million would be allocated for development work in Attock.

Opening such a schooling system in far-flung areas of the province also demonstrates that Punjab rulers were not only interested in betterment of the lot of urban elite's children but their heart also bleeds for the rural population deprived of basis needs. Education up to higher secondary classes would be imparted in these schools and under this system every school would be English medium and religious courses would also be started in these schools. Punjab Educational Endowment Fund had been set up for the first time in the history of the country for providing financial assistance to talented students facing economic problems to enable them to continue their studies.

It is pertinent to mention that strict admission criteria is being followed to ensure merit-based admission of the students, 90 percent of whom include student from the marginalized section of the society with a household income less than or not more than Rs 6000 ($ 70) per month. All such students are being provided educational and boarding facilities for free. Such schools should be opened across the country to end the deprivation of the poor.

The Punjab Chief Minister should also devote attention to the technical education sector, and should take steps to highlight its importance. There is no doubt that the education system in Pakistan is fast falling apart mainly because of the poor quality of education and inadequate availability of funds.

The official claim puts the literacy rate at 49.9 per cent (Punjab: 59 percent), while in actual fact it is far lower. In such a backdrop the step for education up lifting like launching Danish Schools is strikingly good, particularly in a country like ours where literacy rate is less than any other state of the South Asian region, let alone the rest of the world. The Chief Minister of Punjab, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, must be complimented for this "Educational Project". This is also very encouraging to observe that the Chief Minister has not relaxed after announcing the project but is keenly taking a follow-up action by frequently visiting the sites of these schools. If the Punjab government can achieve desired results from Danish Schools, this system then can be spread to entire province, and the rest of the country can follow it.

Well, the solution of backwardness and poverty lies in the promotion of quality education.

Reasons for Pakistan's Low Literacy Rate

Education is a right; not a privilege. Being a free citizen every individual has the right to live,speak,write etc.It is the prime responsibility of a government to ensure that all citizens get the basic fundamental rights of citizen at their doorstep.

History has witnesses that no nation has been able to accelerate in terms of development without considering these aims as pre-requisites. Education is one of these basic rights that provide a tool for development to nations. Pakistan is one of the developing countries that is thriving for improvement in this area. Each and every government has launched a stream of five year plans that were arranged so as to fulfill the Millennium Development goals.

However all resulted in vain since there was no or meager improvement in this regard. A lower literacy rate is an outcome despite such acts. Since the inception, education is the most neglected area and the situation did not improve despite of taken measure to educate people. Even there is a large population who did not receive basic education. It was 15 years back, the government allotted 2.6 % of the G.D.P for the progression of education however, to add injury to an insult, it was limited to 1.8% and the situation got worst.

There are other developing nations like Turkey which allot most of its G.D.P to Education department, Pakistan ignored this department. With such non serious attitude towards Education, and there remain a dearth of well -educated and skillful individuals. Among the SAARC Nations, Pakistan is at the sixth and at the 159 th position among the 174 World countries. According to a Government Official Report, the literacy rate in Pakistan is 34 % which is doubtful.

The lower literacy rate is said to be an outcome of greater population, poverty and unemployment ;however it can not be justified since there are other countries like Vietnam,Combodia,India,Kenya etc where the advancement in literacy rate was observed despite of such factors. Take another example, Sri Lanka, a fellow SAARC Nation enjoys the same per annum income as Pakistan however it has 90 % literacy rate. It is said that about 2 Crore, 2 Lacs children are yet to get enrolled at Primary level. The present situation in education imparting institution is more than worst.

Take an example government schools 54% of our population never went to school. About 46 % are enrolled in Public schools. Most of these schools have large premises however lacked the facilities of electricity, water and sanitation. Even some are ghost schools and don't even exist yet the funds are utilized by the authorized personnels. People unsatisfied with such situation of Public schools, can not admit their wards to Private schools since the tuition fees are quite high as compared to public schools.

Education has been converted into a fruitful business and we can find a number of Private schools located in the same area within short distances. These schools are opened in small bungalows which are rental and do not suit to a standard school premise. Another drawback is that the Private schools are limited to urban areas and these have no presence in rural areas. Another noticeable point is that a good number of population is admitted to Madarsas ;which are institutions of Islamic religious teachings. These offer free teaching so where there is inflation all around, people find it as a blessing in disguise.

The Government fund is not properly utilized due to the absence of basic and prerequisite strategy. This has lead to downfall in education and slow progress in literacy rate in Pakistan In short, we are not utilizing our resources to our potential. It is this inadequate utilization that is the root cause of downfall in literacy rate.

History of Pakistan

The first known inhabitants of the modern-day Pakistan region are believed to have been the Soanian - Homo erectus, who settled in the Soan Valley and Riwat almost 2 million years ago. Over the next several thousand years, the region would develop into various civilizations like Mehrgarh and the Indus Valley Civilization. Prior to the independence of Pakistan in 1947, modern-day Pakistan was part of the medieval and subsequently of colonial India. Throughout its history, the region has been also been a part of various other kingdoms like Indian, Greek, Mongol, Persian, Turkic, Araband British. The region's ancient history also includes some of the oldest empires from thesubcontinent^[1] and some of its major civilizations.^[2][3][4][5] The political history of the nation began with the birth of the All India Muslim League in 1906 to protect Muslim interests, amid fears of neglect and under-representation of Muslims, in case the British Raj decided to grant local self-rule. On the 29 December 1930, Sir Muhammad Iqbal called for an autonomous state in "northwestern India for Indian Muslims".^[6] The Muslim League rose to popularity in the late 1930s. Muhammad Ali Jinnah espoused the Two Nation Theory and led the Muslim League to adopt the Lahore Resolution^[7] of 1940, demanding the formation of independent states for Muslims in the East and the West of British India. Eventually, a united Pakistan with there wings-Pakistan]] and East Pakistan - gained independence from the British, on 14 August 1947. Modern-day Pakistan came in existence in 1971, after a civil war in the distant East Pakistan and emergence of an independent Bangladesh.

Independence from the British Raj witnessed unprecedented and prolonged communal riots eventually resulting in millions of Muslims migrating to Pakistan and millions of Hindus and Sikhs migrating to India. The Hindu Maharaja of princely state of Kashmir which itself is a Muslim-majority region was hesitant to accede to India or Pakistan although negotiations continued between Maharaja and both India and Pakistan. The Maharaja started unarming the Muslim soldiers in his militia and the police. Foreseeing the results of this, a group of Kahmiri Muslims took up arms against the Maharaja. As they ran short of weapons the freedom fighters asked the Pashtun tribals for help. Maharaja requested India for forces to help crush the rebellion however India refused to send forces until Maharaja decided on accession. On 25 October the tribals were close to the capital Srinagar hence Maharaja signed instrument of accession with India. Based on instrument of accession Kashmir became part of India and on 26 October the Indian forces were airlifted to Srinagar to defend it from foreign militia. Since the armed rebellion was unlikely to succeed in face of Indian army Pakistan decided to send its regular forces, however the British General of Pakistan armed forces refused to send regular troops saying that he was subject to permission from Mountbatten the Governor General of India, the unorganized tribals were forced out of Srinagar by the heavily armed Indian forces, whereas they retained control of what became Pakistan Administered Kashmir. Pakistan refused to grant General Gracey an extension and perceived it good to appoint a Pakistani General as head of the armed forces. LOC demarcation done in 1949 stopped till point NJ 9842 shot of marking position around the Siachen Glacier. In 1984, backed by the Soviet Union to exert pressure on Pakistan stop the assistance to Afghan Mujahideen, India sent forces in Siachen Glacier, where they remain to this day. India controls 80% of Siachen Glacier while the other 20% of Siachen Glacier and the whole of Baltoro Glacier is controlled by Pakistan. Siachen is the highest battleground in the world.

Pakistan declared itself an Islamic republic on adoption of a constitution in 1956, but the civilian rule was stalled by the 1958 military coup d'etat by Ayub Khan, who ruled during a period of internal instability and a second war with India in 1965. Economic grievances and political dissent in East Pakistan led to violent political tensions and army repression, escalating into civil war^[8] followed by thethird war with India. Pakistan's defeat in the war ultimately led to the secession of East Pakistan and the birth of Bangladesh.^[9]

Civilian rule resumed from 1972 to 1977 under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, until he was deposed by General Zia-ul-Haq, who became the country's third military president. Pakistan's secular policies were replaced by the Islamic Shariah legal code, which increased religious influences on the civil service and the military. With the death of Zia-ul-Haq in 1988, Benazir Bhutto, daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was elected as the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan. Over the next decade, she alternated power with Nawaz Sharif, as the country's political and economic situation worsened. Military tensions in the Kargil conflict^[10] with India were followed by a 1999 coup d'état in which General Pervez Musharraf assumed executive powers. This occurred due to the defeat of Pakistan by India in Kargil and the economic hardship that followed after the Kargil conflict.^[11]

In 2001, Musharraf named himself President after the resignation of Rafiq Tarar. In the 2002 Parliamentary Elections, Musharraf transferred executive powers to newly elected Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali, who was succeeded in the 2004 by Shaukat Aziz. On 15 November 2007 the National Assembly completed its term and a caretaker government was appointed with the former Chairman of The Senate, Muhammad Mian Soomro as Prime Minister. Following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, that resulted in a series of important political developments, her husband Asif Ali Zardari was eventually elected as the new President in 2008.
