What We Get Wrong About Education in Pakistan by Anjum Altaf

What We Get Wrong about Education in Pakistan, adds a number of excellent arguments to the current debate on education in Pakistan, and, taking the conversation to a higher theoretical level, examines some fundamental problems besetting public education in the country.

The answer it gets is disturbing. It proposes that poor education standards are a matter of government choice. Our society is hierarchal in structure and the assumption that the government cares and works for the welfare of the entire nation is a myth. This is all the more true if the government consists of robber barons concerned more with their self-interests. In short, what that book offer to readers are: a correct perspective on school education that should be helpful to all — parents, teachers and education planners; a manual to parents about which of their pre-conceived notions they must resist; and scathing but logical criticism of the Single National Curriculum.
