Most of the government
schools in the cities, and many in the villages as well, have better physical
facilities like playground, building, laboratory, library and drinking water.
Teachers are well-trained, and they don’t have issues related to poor payment
to teachers. But, the result of government schools is pathetic with a
significant number of them performing worst in the secondary exams.
Government
pours resources in education, but the achievement has been negative for the
last couple of decades. If the results were to be improved, the central and
local government and the community must be active to make the education system
better.
The local bodies elected after about two decades are confused about
their rights, finding resources for the additional duties and meeting
aspirations of people. The best way to address the aspirations of the people
would be to improve the education system in their respective local body.
There
is no second thing in the world for parents other than their children's
excellence in education. It is equally necessary for the federal or provincial
government to collaborate with the local governments to create at least a model
public secondary school in every local units so that other schools could follow
the trend.
