Hi there !
The issue I choose for my GNML social campaign is about the EDUCATION SYSTEM OF MY COUNTRY.

 No one is perfect. Yes and Pakistan is the same. Its not perfect , having various issues now a days.
But if we look in the deep one will think from where does these issues arose. Some will say poverty, other will say violation of laws and everyone will have different opinion. But for me the root of all problems lies in the EDUCATION SYSTEM. If our education system is modified, there will be availability of jobs hence poverty is vanished. If it gets modify there will be awareness of responsibility hence violation of laws will be almost over.

  But we are world sixth largest nation how can we focus over issue on such large population?
The answer is on our YOUTH because youth is power of a nation.Youth can do anything, so we must target our youth.

   According to the experts of the world, within the age of 16 years to 25 years, the fear of death in a person is almost negligible. In this age, a person can conquer Mount Everest bare footed, can jump from heights into the deep seas and can do many other unexpected things. But as the same person crosses the boundary of 25 years he won’t go out of the house without having a muffler and a cap covering him form cold. Yes, this is the nature of humans.

    Currently 60 million of Pakistan’s population is ranging in that age. It makes almost 35 % of the population of the country. This youth is full of talent, confidence and spirit. All of them want to get  education to get on the track of success. But neither can they nor the education of the country will let them do it. This youth is like a living dead. Remember youth is power, and Pakistan, unluckily, is not using this power. Instead, the power is finding its own way; some of them get on the track of success while the rest are destroyed. They become drug addicts, criminals and most of them, instead of becoming software engineers become hackers. Instead of becoming soldiers they become the suicide-bombers.


   Now, here the question arises. Are we the first nation facing this problem? The answer is no. If not, then how did the rest change their situation? By changing their education system. Until 1960 Europe had the same education system as Pakistan has. The secondary boards of Europe, like Pakistan, threw thousands of students into the society by handling them their Matriculation degrees. Half of them joined the colleges, and few after that attended the universities. The rest would start their practical life. As a result, Europe stated facing crisis. Violations of law and order became their daily practice. Unemployment, poverty and many other social issues were in the voyage.

    What did they do then? They changed their entire education system. They expanded their schools until the college level, induced their college into the university. Thus they increased the time  of getting done with the education. The education institutes were given a free hand. They could chance the time  of a subject our entire semester. They could change their syllabi according to current situations. Practical life was made a part of education. And the results were positive. This system came with two major advantages. First, the institutes made changes on their syllabi according to the demand of the market. If the jobs were fewer, they would increase the time of getting degree. Hence the youth was kept busy and the unemployment was handled. Second, internship was made part of curriculum. By doing so, a student gained experience and the institutions came to know about the qualities and skills of students.

    Now, if you compare the education system of Pakistan. It is entirely the opposite. This education system is divided into the stages: school, college and university. These stages are as easy as ABC and as fast as soured of light. A child gets into school from one side and is thrown into the society with several degrees from other. He neither had knowledge nor skill. Hence, neither the private nor the government sector offers him a job. Thus the unemployment is high and thus it goes on, resulting in various social disorders. According to a research only 5% of Pakistan's youth gets higher education and good jobs. What about the test of the 95% of power? Thus power adopts the highway of extremism. They become the masterminds of crimes, drug addicts, hackers, and yes, some of them also get on track of terrorism.




  This is a big and tough project to achieve, but if we start the change within our self , if we start this campaign within our families, our societies we will not achieve this project but at least we will achieve some thing. We will educate some personals and then with their help I can complete my aim.
Now I won't be alone I am sure all my Yes friends, my family and m society will help me in this.

 THANKS
