Subject: Reason for the decline of standard of education

Sir,

        I would like to draw your attention to a burning question decline of standard of education that has become a matter of deep concern for all and sundry. At present, it has replete with countless drawbacks. It has failed to produce intellectual class. That is why, our country is not making progress by leaps and bounds. We lag behind form the European nations in the technical and scientific fields. There are many reasons for the deterioration of standard of education.

First of all, medium of education in our country is English while our mother tongue is Urdu. Most of the students fail because English does suit their genius. The reason is that it is taught as a compulsory subject in our educational system. Secondly, modern means of amusement have made the students lazy and indolent. They have not remained more painstaking than before. They kill much of their time by watching movies on television. Thirdly, our examination system has become rotten to core. Now students. Think that it is their right to use unfair means in the examination. Fourthly, in colleges and universities, much time is wasted in strikes and demonstration. Fifthly, our teachers are incompetent. They are unaware of the modern teaching techniques.

The following measures may be taken to improve the standard of education.

1: Medium of education should be Urdu. In this regard, we should follow the shining examples of Japan, China, Germany and other countries, which have made tremendous progress in every walk of life without changing their mother tongue.

2: The government should make sincere efforts to improve the examination system. For the purpose, examination should be conducted under the supervision of Army.

3: Strict actions should be taken against those elements, which destroy the atmosphere of colleges.

4: Teachers should be trained on modern lines. The concerned authorities should conduct refresher courses for the teachers regularly.
