Education, Religion and the Creation of Subject: Different Educational Systems of Pakistan
Main Article Content
Abstract
Educational systems have assumed great sociological significance in modern nation states because education is the only instrument which provides the possibilities to progress and prosper in the world today. It has put a lot of power in the designers of education systems. This paper argues that the three different educational systems of Pakistan have very different historical origins, pedagogical style and curriculum. Therefore, the students of these schools develop totally different worldviews. I argue that this difference in basic outlook towards life among different subgroups of population is one of the major reasons for the religious violence and terrorism in Pakistan.
