EDUCATION SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN

-
Education System in Pakistan has always been a subject of great importance when it comes to the country’s development and progress it is proclaimed in the Constitution of Pakistan to provide free and compulsory education to all children between the ages of 5-16 years and enhance adult literacy. With the 18th constitutional amendment the concurrent list which comprised of 47 subjects was abolished and these subjects, including education, were transferred to federating units as a move towards provincial autonomy.
The education system of Pakistan is comprised of 260,903 institutions and is facilitating 41,018,384 students with the help of 1,535,461 teachers. The system includes 180,846 public institutions and 80,057 private institutions. Hence 31% educational institutes are run by private sector while 69% are public institutes.
The educational system of Pakistan is founded on unequal lines. Medium of education is dissimilar in both, private and public sector. This generates a sort of inequality amongst people, dividing them into 2 sections. The distribution of funds for education is very stumpy. It is only 1.5 to 2.0 percent of the entire GDP. It need to be around 7 percent of the entire GDP. The teachers in government schools are not satisfactory trained. They are not workwise trained teachers so they are unable to guide a nation.
Taking into account the failing of education, it becomes evident that there haven’t been many solid initiatives of improvement towards obtaining any improvements until last few years when some private institutions emerged into the limelight. The history of education shows that there were not many educational facilities available to the Pakistani students who wanted to pursue their studies.
There are some solutions like there is a need for implementation of national education policy and vision 2030 education goals. An analysis of education policy suggests that at the policy level there are several admirable ideas, but practically there are some shortcomings also.
It may not be possible for the government at the moment to implement uniform education system in the country, but a uniform curriculum can be introduced in educational institutes of the country. This will provide equal opportunity to the students of rural areas to compete with students of urban areas in the job market.
Since majority of Pakistani population resides in rural areas and the access to education is a major problem for them, it seems feasible that a balanced approach for formal and informal education be adopted. Government as well as non-government sector should work together to promote education in rural areas.
The government should take measures to get school buildings vacated which are occupied by feudal lords of Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab. Efforts should be made to ensure that proper education is provided in those schools.

AMERICAN MEXICAN WAR.

-
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. CAUSES OF THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Texas gained its independence from Mexico in 1836.
