Establishment ki nabz dekho, hawa ka rukh dekho….. They are more than ever determined to put our own house in order now & mend our ways. Jo roken dalny ki koshish kry ga kuchla jai ga, buldoz kia jai ga, dafn ho ga… It is not about just Imran khan or chief justice. It is about the mood of state. It is now or never; if Pakistan has to survive.
Well said brother
I said go ahead if you can stop these so called elite schools from looting the public. You made a mole hill at the wrong place.
They forgot Foundation Public School (Karachi and Hyderabad), Headstart School (Karachi) , Karachi American School, The British Overseas School (Karachi)
They Can Only “Hold Registration” Not Sealed the Office / School Main Gate Or Cancelled the REGISTRATION :
This is how you create wealth in Pakistan. CJ is killing IK’s plan at birth!
If education is to remain unprofitable then no one will invest in it. The country will regress further!
Lets agree to disagree!
I’ve worked in Bpo industry, here is what the situation is: A level students of “Beacon House and City School” type elite schools earn more than 80K per month ( I repeat; Students of A level who are usually around age 18-20), and students of Bachelor or Master ( brought up in Public schools) make around 30k even if they have an experience of working there. Why is that ? Just because of their fluent English.
My cousins was taught French in O levels ( We are not taught even proper Urdu/Arabic in our 9th/10th, now one of them is doing engineering at Oregon State University and the other one is doing BS IR in UK.
Just take an example of Convents, most of the female CSS candidates this year had a Convent upbringing in early education.
If you have a degree in Master from abroad, you have hired as a permanent faculty in NUML, you need an Mphil to get a visiting faculty status and 5 years experience for getting a permanent status.
