Key Problems of the Education Department Punjab

 

Punjab Education Department is working under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. Ministry makes pretensions and the department leads the accomplishment of pretensions. Some of the major issues our department is facing are;

 

1. Lack of Infrastructure/Inequality of Opportunities

 

In Pakistan, most percentage of the population lives in rural areas. Lack of infrastructure is one of the Key Issues of the Education Department in Punjab. Therefore, the department wants to facilitate all rural schools and educational institutions. Institutions far-flung are:

 

• Lack Electricity.
• Low literacy level.
• Lack of water.
• Lack of means of transport. (Bad roads)
• Lack of education promoting equipment.
• Lack of internet facility to train the teachers online

 

2. Startling Dropout of Students

 

Firstly, students face financial issues in getting educated. As these children work with their parents to meet their basic needs. They work as caretakers of their families. They have to manage family and educational commitments which cause discontinuity of educational activities. In addition to that, they face skyrocketing fees at college, University. Secondly, they observe difficulty in education as they see their degree as more challenging. Maybe due to a lack of guidance they chose the wrong study course. They lack to spend quality time with teachers or friends.

 

3. Lack of Quality Teachers

 

 Teachers must be optimistic ad has a strong vision of their students. Quality teachers deficiency is also Key Issues of the Education Department in Punjab. They must believe that their students can learn. They must treat all the students equally. Teachers are role models for students they also face individual differences in the major case. Due to many personal and professional departments lacking quality teachers.

 

4. Poor Supervision

 

During teaching teachers mostly receive advice. suggestions and instructions from senior staff members and from higher authorities. They get confused about which devices are in favor of their work and which suggestions are just to interfere.

 

5. Antiquated Curriculum

 

Before 2022 department was using an outdated curriculum. Most students feel the irrelevancy of curriculum from the real world. But now the government has introduced Single National Curriculum to abolish this obstacle.

 

Quick Fix Ideas and Recommendations to Solve Problems of Edu. Department

 

For the best solution of removing or decreasing the obstacles in the Education department government has to make the best and super visionary educational policies. These policies must be admirable and meet the standards of education. Single National Curriculum is one of that steps. But is not successful until it is implemented completely.

 

Main Recommendations and Proposals

 

The Government must support Education Department and facilitate the management and teachers fully in all ways. Government must work for the provision of facilities and take steps like;

 

1. Spend more on infrastructure.
2. Provide adequate professional training to the teachers.
3. Provide financial help to students. Like providing scholarships or a reduction in tuition fees. These Economic incentives work admirably.

Required Changes in Educational Policies

 

Government should make flexible policies according to the needs of departments, Students, and teachers. Policies must be progressive. The examination system should be changed. Policies should not be directionless but, implemented successfully without any political interference.

 

Conclusion

 

Government alone cannot reform the educational system .it needs the participation of public, private, formal, and informal education to increase the rate of literacy. The government is also providing E-Registration to Private Colleges to facilitate them. Providing proper vocational education can make our students an asset to the country.
