Education is surely the back bone of development in any county, In Pakistan the educational policy commute very often. Every government strives to implement different practices with the aim to raise the standard of education. However there are still huge discriminations about the exposure of education among different segments of society. Unfortunately every education policy implemented in Pakistan has failed to come up with one standard level of curriculum for all students. A lot of factors are responsible for it. including but not limited to, level of income, religious views & the existence of private schools & colleges. The schools administered by the state are not completely capable for providing quality education. Especially the subjects that are thought in English language are ignored by most of the teachers & students. So there is still a big room of improvement.

As a matter of fact a new education policy is implemented this year. Education policy 2009 is implemented with a focus to increase the literacy rate in tribal areas of Pakistan, which was & still is the major ground for terrorist people since many years. The objective of this policy is to seek a steady increase in literacy rate in that part of the country, by achieving the target of 86 per cent overall literacy rate, according to the policy Grades 11 and 12 of the college will be merged into the school education in near future.the higher education sector will also be raised by existing 4.7 per cent to 15 per cent by 2020.

While revealing the challenges Pakistan has in its education sector is a lengthy story. The first 10 years of academic life is very important for students. However the schools run by private entities are good in providing quality education with qualified teachers & where English is considered as the medium of instruction. But that school are limited to rich families. We are here to talk about general public. The big problem in the state run education system is English. Yet the policy makers have to accept that learning more about English is very necessary at primary level of education. We are living in an era where if we didn’t get command over English we cant expect big improvement in the quality of education.

Yes I admit that we are the unconditional slaves of English language. The reason is obvious; the epoch, in which we are living, I can testify that it is now the Americans who identify worthwhile educational & development ideas. The super powers & the global media empire chant in English. Most of books related to different fields of the world are available in English over the internet. The growth of English language courses in england & other countries of Europe & Asia is the example of how English is dominance among all other languages. yes it is after all the lingo of global empire.
