The collapse of Modern Education System!

 

Our society is changing at alarming rate, faster than we can conceive. It offers new problems to solve, the problems serious than ever before. I wonder what my education system has provided me except few jargons and vocabulary that doesn't solve problem intrinsically. The problems of youth are grave, and our education system have to address them. I'm listing down all the questions which Pakistani education system has failed to address for a common man. 

1. How to respond as competent Muslim to the scientific evidence that comes against your fundamental belief? 

2. How to learn and promote tolerance in the era of where hate and social polarization is the economic agenda of many stake holders along with the state? 

3. How to love 'the others' after realization that they don't belong to you, and they are completely different from you?

4. How to use your degree to have income in the long term to feed your family?

5. How to be kind, humble and grounded as person, after acquiring highest degree such as PhD in Pakistan, how to practice empathy and mindfulness every day in our workplace?

6. How critical thinking can help you resolve your emotional crisis as an adult?

7. How to understand your emotions and thoughts as an adult?

8. How to have meaningful and impactful social interaction at public places?

9. How to learn and practice discipline in your life?

10. How to keep yourself fit, clean and follow proper hygiene as an adult?

11. How not to spoil your sleep as an adult?

12. How much time to spend on social media and how to behave on social media?

13. How to follow basic antiques at dining table?

14. How to attend someone who is sick or old?

15. How to keep the sense of gratitude despite failure or heart ache?

16. Understanding one's own fallacies, biases and incoherence as rational person?

17. How to develop the qualities of emphatic listener?

18. How to lead a simple life with mindfulness by following minimalism?

19. How to be respectful towards to elders, what it truly means to be respectful?

20. How to keep believing in God when you're not sure or loosing hope in life?

21. Understanding your sexual urges, romantic dispositions and infatuations as teenager?

22. Understanding what to express and how to express your feelings to anyone?

23. Understanding your own psychology, and mental disorders, delusions and biases you might have as person.

24. Embracing art, music, culture and dance as the source of joy and delight.

25. Learning to have sufficient self-control to avoid addictions such as eating unhealthily or being victim of pornography, or any others substance abuse. 

There are such number questions which our education system fails to address for any young mind, struggling with doubt, and because these urges are not channelized and their grievances are not addressed, they turn into a violent mob, being victim of cults or religious clerks who sell them the 'promise of tomorrow', there's literature about tomorrow but not today, and that is serious cognitive loophole. The problems of tomorrow are not the problems of today and we have to address the problems of today and work with these millions of young minds, so that they become functional human beings in their lives without causing abuse, violence or suicidal tendencies.
