Though 67 years have been passed and 23 policies and action plans have been introduced yet the educational sector is waiting for an arrival of a savior.

20Following are the problems in education in Pakistan :-

Education System is based on Unequal LinesRegional DisparityRatio of Gender DiscriminationLack of Technical Education Funds Untrained Teachers Poverty

21

22 Solutions for Educational System: -

There should be same system of Education for every one.Implementation instead of projecting policies should be focused on.Allocation of funds should be made easy from provinces to districts and then to educational institutes. Workshops must be arranged for teachers.Technical education must be given to all the classes.

23 LAW of Pakistan about education: -

The Constitution of Pakistan formed in 1973 promised to its citizens in Article 26(1) of the universal Declaration of Human Rights which says that

"Everyone has the right to Education”

• Petty corruption in the form of bribery is prevalent in law enforcement, procurement and the provision of public services.

• The executing agency, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), is endowed with comprehensive powers to investigate and prosecute cases.

• However, a lack of political will, coupled with the perceived co-option of the judiciary and the arbitrariness of many anti-corruption proceedings, are major obstacle.
