Syllabuses needlessly burdening students
Students from the primary stage are being taught Islamiat, Arabic, English, Urdu, Sindhi, Computer, Maths, Science, Drawing, Art work and Social Studies.
Does any one think that boys and girls of 5 to 14 years of age should be taught all this?

What about those who are not married, and are yet unhappy with the education situation?

I looked up the profile of the member. She is just 14 years old. That she concerns herself with such issues at this young age speaks well for her and the future of Pakistan.
Education has been brought to this sorry pass by the consistent efforts of a segment of Pakistan's ruling elites and their representatives in Pakistan's state establishment since the very early days of Pakistan.
The formal education environment in Pakistan needs a ruthless and all-encompassing overhaul.
Particularly since 1977, after Zia ul Haq's coup, education has been prostituted mercilessly, and any stone left unturned was assiduously hunted and turned over during the Musharraf usurpation.

Considering the age of the topic starter, this is a very commendable topics. Allah bless her.
The fact of the matter is that those who are sitting in cozy offices designing syllabi and curricula probably have NO EXPERIENCE either of teaching entry level children nor of child psychology, cognitive science and such other essential skills.
Children at the primary stage should be afforded opportunities to develop their cognitive skills to the utmost, their time in school should contribute to the development of seamless hand eye coordination.
The three "R"s -- Redaing, wRiting and aRithmatic should be only subjects taught, and instruction should be imparted in their mother-tongue, whichever it is.
Teaching languages should come at a later stage.
Islamiat should be an opted for subject from the secondary stage onwards.
Religion per se should NOT be taught in schools. This is the parents sole province and should be left to them.

I agree fully with this
Chotay bachon ko gadhon ki tarhan kitabon say laad daytay hain aur samajhtay hain kay hum in ko taleem dayrahay hain.
Rattu totay banatay hain rattu totay.
Exams main marking kitab ya classwork ki copy samnay rakh kay ki jati hay yeh nahi dekha jata kay bachay nay concept samajha hai ya nahi. Lafz ba lafz naql kar li ho ya ratta acha ho tou number achay miltay hain.
The whole system is a failure and produces failures.
