Education Function

The Holy Prophet said: “Acquisition of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman.” Education is the key to the success of the system. Under a Five Year Education Plan. The entire population is to be educated with the help of Local Government’s network. The Union Councils are to set up primary schools and ensure that every parent, in their jurisdiction, seeks admission of his children to the school, failing which he faces prescribed punishment. The syllabus is designed centrally at the highest level. English and computer, along-with other traditional temporal and religious subjects, are taught with effect from class one. Reading material, training aids, stationary is provided by the state. Students who can afford are charged nominal fees; those who can’t get free education. In middle, secondary and higher secondary levels sciences, humanities, arts and commercial subjects are introduced. After higher secondary schooling, students go for specialization in engineering, medicine, business, armed forces, religious scholarships etc. Male and female teachers are drawn from local population. Their training is arranged by Tehsil and District Council authorities. These teachers are offered attractive salaries to give them sense of pride and make them economically self-sufficient and willing workers. Since economic prosperity and spread of education go hand in hand, the other complimentary task of the Local Governments is the promotion of primary industries to make use of the local raw material and local talent. These are agro-based cottage industries, dairy farms. Poultry, fish and sheep farms. Income generated at lower level on a broader base ushers in era of prosperity. It creates demand for all kind of consumer goods which is met by large scale industry .This leads to faster industrial development creating all kinds of jobs and improving all round commercial activity. To finance the plan substantial budgetary allocations are made under the head human resource development. International aid agencies eagerly offer funds for the purpose. However, a small education fee is also charged along with income tax and land revenue to give the entire population sense of participation in ushering in the great education revolution.

The individual becomes economically independent and feels well set to play his role in the political field as a voter to elect only the rig} kind of leadership. These elected representatives are well educated, God fearing, men of taqwa. They are fired with urgent desire to run the country as ordained by Allah and guided by the Holy Quran and Sunnah.
