Identity fraud in SIM registration process is one of the major problem that is in the scenario since the arrival of telecom companies in Pakistan, I believe telecom companies, government & the users itself are responsible for it, First it is the responsibility of telecom companies to allow only the authorized sales points for the sales & registration of there SIMs (subscribers identity module). They are required to actively monitor the sale points & ensure fair registration from the users. However we can expect them unfair at this, because every company likes to have more subscribers to gain more revenue. So ultimately for achieving this they can try every possible sales channel without caring about the consequence.

Ok! Now turning towards the government which holds a major responsibility in this regard, unfortunatly it seems me that the government was finding it difficult to direct the telecom operators with a fair & strict policy regarding the registration of new SIMs, Before the serious involvement of PTA (Pakistan telecom authority) the sales & registration process of telecom subscribers are not fair, SIMs of different companies were selling without the requirements of proper identity document, that is as easy as finding classifieds from Craigslist. Even a kid can purchase these SIMs from any retailor.

Franchises & the retailors are the great contributors in the occurrence of fake entries, every franchise owner gets a good profit margin on every SIM that is registered & sold in a defined region. They make fake entries for their sales in most of the cases when a buyer didn’t submit their original CNIC with the purchase. Similar is the case with retailers, they get Rs 20 to 30 on each registration form they submit to the franchise for registration, they attach anonymous CNIC with the registration forms that resulted in the fake entry for a particular mobile number. However, PTA has make these things easier now. you can register your SIM directly by calling them from your mobile phone.

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.

Ok, now let’s talk about things practically, In Pakistan a number of students apply for visa to study in different foreign universities specially in London, Some of them are genuine with a keen intention to study while a number of them wants to fun around & enjoy their time at places like tantric massage london uk. traditionally most of them get this work done through foreign education consultants, yesterday I hear this news from a friend of mine who apply for study visa through a well know consultant in Peshawar, He submitted his tuition fee last month & according to him he is quite near to move abroad. Lately when he arrived to their office to find information about his visa he found a number of other students complaining that the office is closed since a week & the study visa program is just a fraud. They cheat them all & run away from the scene & left the student with empty hands. So try to learn from others experiences from both the positive & negative angle.
