About the book:
Rethinking Education in Pakistan offers a reflective, context-sensitive exploration of the country’s educational landscape, moving beyond routine critique to propose practical alternatives. Viewing education not merely as a driver of economic growth but also as a means of individual freedom and social transformation, the book examines persistent challenges such as inadequate funding, weak governance, outdated curricula, flawed assessment systems, and marginalisation of teachers. Drawing on decades of experience as a teacher and teacher educator, the author presents indigenised, accessible, and practice-oriented insights across key areas including policy, teacher education, curriculum, language, research, and innovation. Emphasising the teacher as an agent of change, it invites educators, researchers, and policymakers to envision realistic, contextually grounded reforms for meaningful educational transformation.
