Why we must improve our education system?
Education is essential for the growth of a country. It's great that
Pakistan has made progress in education, but there are still some weaknesses
that need to be addressed, especially in rural areas. Teachers play a really
important role in making sure that students receive a good education.
The education system in Pakistan has many issues. Improving the
quality of education in public schools is a huge challenge, but it's really
important for the growth of the country. The government needs to take an active
role in this area.
It's really sad to see that so many children are impacted by crises
and require urgent educational support. The pandemic has made things even
worse, with many children in low- and middle-income countries unable to read a
simple story. It's really important that political leaders, policymakers,
youth, and all stakeholders join together the transform education and improve
the lives of millions of children.
It's important to have a shared vision for education to be
successful. Leaders should have meaningful conversations with diverse
stakeholders about the goals of education. Sierra Leone consulted with a wide
group of stakeholders, including previously excluded groups, to develop their
most recent education sector plan. The plan prioritizes foundational learning
as the floor to give every child a chance for longer-term educational success.
Redesigning education systems often results in limited results for
children’s learning and development. We need to focus more on what students are
expected to learn—not just how that content is delivered—and we need to pay
special attention to those who are learning the least. Teaching at the Right
Level is a promising approach in recent years. The approach is most effective
for education systems that have large numbers of students failing to master
literacy and numeracy by the end of primary school.
The country has also used data to support the realignment behind
the updated pedagogical core while investing in teacher training at all levels.
Sierra Leone has digitized its annual school census and cut the data collection
time to 10 weeks. The Ministry digitized and linked education data going all
the way back to 2015 to address disparities within the education system.
Education is the foundation of our future, and we must act now to
ensure that every child receives a quality education.
