“Improvement in Pakistan education system and curriculum priority of PTI govt “: PM Khan

The newly elected government is resolute in reformation of education system. The development of Pakistan is largely dependent on young Pakistani students. Rapid measures should be taken to overcome the weaknesses in methods and techniques being practiced in Pakistan’s education system. According to PM Imran Khan, the curriculum being taught in all educational institutes whether they are government and non-government must be conforming to one standard. Another major reason of poor educational system in Pakistan besides varying curriculum is corruption in board exams, widespread cheating and weaknesses in teaching techniques. Asian countries such as South Korea and India have excelled in the field of education. More than 30 universities of India have ranked among top 1000 universities of the world in The World University Rankings 2019 and Times Higher Education World University Rankings2019. South Korea is a home to some of world’s best universities and foreign students from all over the world find it a favorite study abroad destination
