Prof. Dr. Rasheed Ahmad Khan (Educationist): I fully endorse Chairman Senate’s viewpoint that we need to modernize our entire education system. Unfortunately, education standard in our colleges is not at par with international criterions. Students don’t tend to attend colleges and schools although schools and colleges have been great source of inspiration and attraction for our youth in the past. Our education has been made costlier to the extent that our middle class is unable to send their children to high fee charging educational institutions. Only a limited and elite class is benefitting from well reputed educational institutions running in private sector. Provinces have been delegated with responsibilities of education but the federation has not provided provinces with due funds and finances. Even our police have not been provided with up to the mark required weapons to counter the terrorists who are equipped with NATO left over latest weapons. I think that provinces have shown better performance in tax collection, education and some other sectors. Provinces have ensured admissions in government colleges on merit basis and rooted out dominance of mal practices in examination centers
