Zusammenfassung:This study rests on the premise that efficient public provision of universal compulsory schooling imbues governance with the ability to help create a harmoniously flourishing society and guaranteeing its sustenance. (...) The efforts of Pakistan for educating its children are evaluated within a comparative world scenario. (...) The failures of the educationists in Pakistan are highlighted and it is argued that the education history of the country has always repeated itself as a tragedy rather than a farce, and the education gurus are largely responsible for the retrogressive social pathology of Pakistan. It is concluded that the state needs to go a long way to address the serious problems of school education and, for reforming school education, the country does not need to wait until the income levels of the poor have risen. Finally, recommendations are made, based on the assertion that it is within state power to improve its educational performance. (Pak Dev Rev/DÜI)
