Pakistan, once part of a colony of English, a few remnants of the “British Raj”. Its education system is one example. Pakistan and India, with some modifications, the installation program for the formation of the British decades ago introduced a shaped structure seen by the settlers.
The system is divided into primary school in Pakistan, Middle, Metric, intermediate and Education of the University.
o Primary: This layer shows the formation of the category 5 be Public / Government students are required to qualify in a large provincial examination, as the primary passage.
o East: more advanced, then three years of primary, intermediate examinations are still held provincial public schools.
o Metric: equivalent to 10 years of education, metric (or certificate of secondary education) is a standardized set of necessary tests provincial level. It is for all students who pursue their studies at higher levels required.
o Intermediate: as a Higher Secondary School High School / High known represents the culmination of 12 years teaching experience. It is a prerequisite for further study at the advanced level. Every year at the provincial level, the diploma thing as a standardized test designed to assess the suitability go or competence University.
o University: interim report of the post include Associate / diploma, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral students. Higher education is provided by the National Committee for Higher Education (HEC) is available. Specialized studies such as engineering, engineering, medicine, law, fashion design, etc. are also provided by these institutions.
Another, “Configuring the informal education” runs in parallel to the above system. For example:
o Madrasa: Islamic schools (madrasahs) were the first mode switching of Education, until the arrival of the British. Even today, many graduates of these institutions. According to the law of the mosque schools are required to have the same programs as taught in public schools, to (mostly) the school. In addition, madrasas and Islamic education is equal to “Mufti” degree, which can be compared to post-doc.
o Adult education: To increase the literacy rate in the country, the government has launched education programs for many adults to life / senior citizens. “Tale-e-Balighan” or “Nai Roshni schools are involved in the process. Education is delivered through many channels, making it flexible for people.
o Life Long Learning: Some institutions a “Life Long Learning have” series initialized. Similar to adults, but with different agendas, LLC, is for people who are keeping abreast of the progress in the field it useful options.
It is appropriate to mention here that a high percentage of students appear in pre-university International Baccalaureate (IB), American High School Diploma and the British GCSE / GCE examinations. Many open and distance learning are the foundations of Pakistan is in operation.
The national education policy to seek, inter alia, to maintain the ideology of Pakistan, responsible for national unity and promote literacy.
Although there is a principle, guidelines established in Pakistan to develop as a successor of governments do not have the desired targets, such as achieving the illiteracy rate in Pakistan is still 49.9% (very low population of a country of nearly 180,000,000 € ).
On the positive side, the recent successes high ISI for research journals, breaking into the top 500 universities worldwide and in particular the recognition of Pakistan has filed other than terrorism.
