5. First of all, I am sor­ry that I don’t have Urdu key­board and have to write my com­ments in Eng­lish. I hope it is accept­able.
   I am sur­prised that the author is describ­ing, Imam Gaza­li, Ala­ma Iqbal and Moulana Mod­oo­di as hur­dles and “show-stop­pers” to the “lib­er­al think­ing” which the writer wants to por­tray and sup­port.
   Yes, we want our insti­tu­tions a place of learn­ing and with “lib­er­al think­ing” but we should not be point­ing fin­gers or blam­ing peo­ple who are not with us any­more. This is exact­ly what author is rais­ing his/her voice and doing the same think. We can­not blame thinker or philoso­pher of any school of thought, if we are “lib­er­als”.
   It appears that the author is miss­ing the point with his bor­rowed think­ing and not ana­lyz­ing the issue.
   Not only our high­er edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tions but all places of learn­ing must teach ethics and char­ac­ter build­ing and basic human val­ues. They should teach, con­scious­ness (Ala­ma Iqbal’s phi­los­o­phy of “KHUDDI” , fair­ness, jus­tice and oth­er fun­da­men­tal human val­ues. Unfor­tu­nate­ly these val­ues have evap­o­rat­ed from the soci­ety and from our insti­tu­tions as well.
   There is a strong need to go back to basics rather than fol­low­ing the band-wag­on and think­ing that every thing old is not good and every­thing new is cool and lib­er­al. For GOD sake.

6. What I don’t under­stand is peo­ple who have noth­ing to do with the process of edu­ca­tion make a lot of fuss about the edu­ca­tion stan­dard at present in Pak­istan. The mess cre­at­ed by one man in edu­ca­tion needs to be over­hauled and then plan­ning fur­ther action in this regard. The man who had no expe­ri­ence of edu­ca­tion cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly brought all the Insti­tutes under pub­lic domain in one stroke of his pen. No one dared to ques­tion his insane act and the dead nation agreed with his idi­ot­ic think­ing. It is almost 35 years that nature took care of him and no one has the courage to revert the dam­age done to insti­tu­tions of Pak­istani education.The world has turned into a Glob­al vil­lage and we are still busy dis­cussing GHAZALI,SENA and RUSHD. Yes the world is now an open book and all that is need­ed is select a por­tion of knowl­edge by grades from the infor­ma­tion pool freely avail­able on the inter­net and print­ing world. The infor­ma­tion dou­bles every 4 years and it is becom­ing hard to catch up for any one. The cur­ric­u­la for each sub­ject is avail­able free and all that calls for is make every insti­tute inde­pen­dent to impart edu­ca­tion so that a com­pet­i­tive envi­ron­ment is cre­at­ed. A cen­tral author­i­ty for test­ing the per­for­mance of each Insti­tu­tion should be tasked to test the lev­el of achieve­ment through STANDARDISED TESTS.It should be like ETS of USA. The Nation­al Stan­dard­ized Tests will deter­mine the lev­el of each and every insti­tu­tion and a com­pet­i­tive atmos­phere will ensue in the sec­ondary as well as high­er edu­ca­tion. Noth­ing will change through debat­ing about the sys­tem unless the action is tak­en.

   I have taught in Pak­istan, Ger­many, Eng­land , Cana­da and USA for 40 years and am well aware of core val­ues of each sys­tem and won­der why so much fuss is cre­at­ed over the trite sys­tem in Pak­istan. It needs sin­cer­i­ty of pur­pose that is absent in Pakistan.Period:
