Yes - one million times - yes.
Pakistan has one of the biggest youth bulges in the entire WORLD and as of 2021-22, there are 26.2 million (some numbers say 28 million) out-of-school children across Pakistan, which raises concern. That means there are over 26 million potential skilled workers, employees, teachers, and business owners, that are most likely not going to achieve their potential.
To put the numbers into perspective, the total population of Dubai is 3.331 million (2019), Japan's is 125.7 million (2021), South Korea's is 51.74 million (2021), and Germany's is 83.2 million. If the numbers and populations are anything to go by, we should be KILLING it! But the sad reality is that till the youth of our country doesn't receive an education (or at least formal vocational training), we will be unable to compete. A formal education means better employment opportunities, better job creation opportunities, and even better foreign employment opportunities (remittances!). Lack of education means a higher unemployment rate, which will result in a higher crime rate, low quality of life, and the same vicious cycle of poverty that we have been stuck in for a while now.
Great insights. I also agree that an educated and motivated population is the key to success. Our population is such a blessing but we have made it into a curse.
Education is definitely one of the key factors that could help improve Pakistan's future, but it's not the only solution. A strong educational system can provide people with the skills and knowledge needed for better jobs, reduce poverty, and promote critical thinking. However, it also needs to be paired with other reforms, such as better governance, economic opportunities, and healthcare.
A strong education system can empower people, equip them with skills and promote economic growth. However, without improvements in governance, economic stability and access to health care, the benefits of education may not be fully realized. So too online games, too, have to play their own, see more. A holistic approach is needed to address these interrelated challenges. By combining education reforms with governance and economic development initiatives, Pakistan can build a more sustainable future and effectively raise the living standards of its citizens.
