Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Education is the instrument used to build and develop nations. Education is a key to development and progress of the mindsets of the people living in any society. Pakistan has been facing acute shortage of education indicators since independence and talking about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not something different phenomenon. Among the literates, the quality of education learning and skills acquired is largely poor. This mirrors the prevailing practices in our public sector schools with quite poor teaching learning environments and methodologies. Majority of the teachers follow traditional teaching style coupled with no community involvement in the teaching and learning of children. The situation has led to dwindling interest in formal education especially for the poor, and an alarming increase in dropout rate from public sector schools. Many hurdles are there in the way of smooth achievement of educational objectives. This paper underlines the importance of Education, present position, hurdles with particular reference to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and how these problems can be addressed with commitment and responsibility.
