THE flaws in the education system have been hindering its reach and deliverance. There is no standard board and more than 30 different education boards are working in different regions of Pakistan. These different boards are functioning on separate ideals and are based on unequal and asymmetrical lines. This is promoting a sense of disparity.

The poor aren’t able to let their children attain standard education and these divergent systems aren’t providing equal opportunities to all. While the rich are getting proper education, the education provided to the poor is unproductive and substandard.

It is time the government reconsidered its educational policies and took necessary measures to establish a uniform and effective education system.
