• How we’ll build an Ideological Pakistani

nation?

• How we can achieve our targets?

• What are the responsibilities of state,

institutions & teachers for development of

education?

We don’t know:

And by the completion of education, the students are unable to play

their role as an educated person while After completing graduation or

Masters they are facing many social, economic , ethical problems and

become more confused and unsecure.

“The aim of education is character building of individual so that it could

differentiate between good and evil and avoids following the evil path”.

(Imam GHAZALI R.A)

Aristotle –“Education is the creation of sound mind in a sound

body.”

Plato –“Education is the capacity to feel pleasure and pain

at the right moment.”

3. Effects of English and Urdu

Medium Education System in

Pakistan

Medium of instruction is a matter of great

debate among teachers, educationists

and parents.

The majority of teachers and parents say

that English should not be the medium of

instruction but should be taught as a

subject right from the very beginning of

the school

Population in Pakistan :Rural: 60%Urban: 40%

Educated Father 40 :60Educated Mother 20:80

62% of private school teachers

and 56% of government school

teachers registered scores in the

lowest possible band in the Aptis

test, meaning they lack even basic

knowledge of English, including the

ability to understand and use familiar

everyday expressions and simple

phrases.

A test conducted by British Council in Panjab:

Findings:

Even in English medium schools, 44% of

teachers scored in the bottom Aptis band.

In all, 94% of teachers in English medium

schools have only pre-intermediate level

English of lower.

Findings:

Half of teachers in public schools believe Urdu should

be the main medium of instruction in schools, with

only around one-fifth believing that English should be

the main medium of instruction; less than one-fifth of

teachers in public and private schools even believe that

English medium education should be delivered solely in

English.

Findings:

• The children will learn English much more effectively if they continue to develop their first language at the same time.

• The learners in the rural areas enter school with only their home language. For these learners, using the mother tongue in early education leads to a better understanding of the curriculum content and to a more positive attitude towards school.• The use of learners’ home language in the classroom

promotes a smooth transition between home and

school.

• Teach English as a subject but medium of

instruction should be Urdu.

• We should promote Urdu in our institution.

• Every English teacher should translate at

least 2 books.

• For higher education in English Language

every student must be translate 3 books .
