EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN: CRITICAL ANALYSIS IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Education system of any country determines the direction of its future and reflects its ideology. Pakistan holds unique status in the Muslim World as it has been achieved on the basis of ideology of Islam through a popular democratic movement rather than by historical accident or colonial invention. The birth of Pakistan consequently witnessed the start of a popular demand for vital place of Islam in the individual and collective spheres of life. People felt that their sacrifices and efforts for the establishment Pakistan would have been in vain if Islam was not enshrined in the every sphere of life. So ever since its inception Islamisation of the society has remained dominant theme of public debate in Pakistan. In this context, discussion about the education system of Pakistan in Islamic perspective is very important and relevant. Statements of the founders of Pakistan reflect that they aspired to design the education system of country on Islamic lines. Educational policies of Pakistan also reflected the same desire. However many flaws still exist in education system of the country as far as its Islamic identity is concerned. Solution lies in sincerity and commitment of political and educational leadership with Islam.
