It is the 5th columnists like Hoodbhoy who have been paving the way for a privitized schooling system with no or minimal state supervision, as directed by his US and European masters. The idea was that a privitized elementray education system will be produce non-ideological vocational drones who would be non-questioning cogs in the wheel of capatilism. The corrupt foujis and their ideological mentors like hoodbhoy and ataur rehman have totally fukked up the elementary education of this land. I do not think there is any hope of its recovery - unless of course if there is an Ayatullah sadiq khalkhali and his guillotine factory. I think we should say the last rites of education system in pakistan... inna lillahe wa inna ilaihe rajeoon.

Atta Ur Rehman with his cronies is selling this lie as Pakistan army selling jihad to make money. Atta Ur Rehman in early 2001 sent returned ticket and hotel and other expenses to his girl friend in Mountain View California to participate in a science conference in Islamabad. The funny thing is the poor babe does not know English so she takes a helper with her in American grocery stores. And her husband was also invited as an expert to the conference. Not only this some engineers copied satellite imaging and other papers and printed a journal and got promoted. I believe the students should be given practical training to solve the society problem. I would prefer to train a student how to slaughter a chicken hygienically than ask him/her to write a paper that has no relevance to our problems.

How can you expect universities to produce quality students if there's problem with the schooling?

And regarding that Univ. By french - Speechless
The whole system is messed up.

Institutions take time to build. You can't build educational institutions overnight just because you envy your neighbor's educational institutions and are prepared to throw money at the problem.

Pakis, of all people, should know that. They've been investing for a long time in their IITs(institutes of islamic terrorism aka madrassahs)...The result is obvious. Just like India's IIT grads are making their mark all over the world, Paki IIT grads i.e. the madrassah graduates are making their mark by being busted for terrorism in American ,spain, england, france, australia and canada.

We should not be surprised when a bureaucrat from the World Bank writes good reports about another bureaucratic institution such as the HEC. Then, throw in this mix the bureaucrats of the military government, and this becomes a rangeela naach of the bureaucrats.

We need to produce more Kasuris, who in turn, will give the uneducated more Beaconhouse schools, higher fees, tons of A-scorers, and droves of escape artists. Here, they only have brains that willingly let the best brains drain away. What a country brown-sahib!

Newspapers feed government lies anyway; we shall see.

Peace.
