The state and quality of education in our country isn't a secret. From roti, kapra aur makan to myriad laptop schemes to naya Pakistan, we've heard all sorts of promises and witnessed all sorts of failures. From educational infrastructure to quality education, we have nothing to show for. I don't want to go into the numbers of how many kids are currently out of school, how many ghost schools are there in Sindh alone and how many ghost employees do those schools have, but I do know the numbers aren't pretty.

But it is quite unfortunate to see the end product of these institutions. Such institutions have been producing students who can hardly read, write or even speak a different language. Students with no confidence, no analytical skills and virtually nothing to offer except for a marksheet of some school in some town showing they cleared all their exams with an average of 90% and a total percentage of 100%. The math doesn't add up at one point.

Do I blame........
