Declining standard of education

A series of peaceful protests were conducted when HEC was dissolved.Much was said on both Print and electronic media about tha tissue.But honestly speaking i think that HEC and other institutes which are responsible for maintaining the standard of education e.g PEC have'nt done anything considerable to maintain the standard of education .

Now-a-days there are so many private univeristies in the whole country specially in Lahore and Islamabad.Many of these universities have a very small campus,just a nominal campus i would say.Tution fees are quite high because those who fail to get admission anywhere get enrolled in these universities and pass out as graduates.A few years back there came a trend in our country that those young individuals who were'nt worthy of doing anything else,they started to do I.Com and then B.Com throught these private institutes,as a result we have thousands of unemployed graduates of commerce.

Since there was no one to check that what is the quality of education being delivered to the youth,the education mafia got encouraged and started to open engineering institutes as well.and i am very sorry to mention that PEC did'nt do anything to get these institues banned or closed,neither did the government take notice.
Small scale universities like Hajveri University,Hamdard univeristy,Wah Univeristy,Iqra Univeristy,Bahria University,University of Central Punjab,Superior Unviersity,University of Lahore  etc etc have started offering Engineering programmes.Comsats and Fast were already offering these programmes through their campuses in different cities.

Every university which is opening its campuses is offering B.COm/BBA/MBA.It seems that these three courses are a must for a university to star.Not only that,But Punajb University ahs introduced dozens of new courses which seem quite strange to       ears and apparently their is no need to start such courses.Some courses which were a sub-domain of a course have now been started as a separate course.

Due to these above mentioned reasons the number of graduates has been increasing each year and our population is being flooded with graduates who do'nt even know how to pronounce the evry basic and simple words of English correctly.This si the irony and tragedy of our nation.And when these literate-illiterates compete for jobs,they use references ,approach and bribe to get their job confirmed .As a result well mannered and well groomed candidates with brilliant academic backgrounds suffer.Our nation has fallen to such low standards that now-a-days even private firms are'nt ready to give jobs without reference and approach.
In such a condition can we expect prosperity?

 The sadder and darker part of all this is that if some institution ever took a step against this in future,media and some pseudo-journalists would make noise that this is a step to stop the chain of education.But i request rather appeal all repsonsible citizens of Pakistan to raise voice agains tthese sub-standard institues where asset of the antion si being wasted.They are not being groomed well,neither quality education is being given to them.

I'll inshaAllah try to present the solution to unemployment and this problem in some other post.........
