Sorry state of education in Pakistan - by Sankalp Tripathi

i.e. Pakistan's education system. 

Above is a passage from a Physics book in Pakistan’s upper-elementary school. It is really very sad to see religious theocracy mixed with actual scientific facts and truths in these school books. Pakistan faces too many internal threats today but it turns blind eye towards false scientific facts and distorted history - the basis of tomorrow's future, being taught in its schools.

In 2008 an Indian Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, Hemal Trivedi, after losing her friend in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, documented some shocking revelations on Pakistan's current education system in her 2015 film, Among the Believers (2015) . Below is a small clip of the film.

The film encompasses the conflict between two schools of thoughts prevalent in Pakistan’s educational system today - liberalism and extremism, and shows how innocent young minds are poisoned by the religious fanatics at a very early age during their childhood. Such a sorry state of affairs presents very grim picture of the future Pakistan where seeds of future generation of terrorists have been sown at an early stage and this crop is being nurtured with full fanatic belief to destroy in the name of Jihad. Today Pakistan’s internal military operation against home-grown terrorism, Zarb-e-azab, seeks to hunt down the present terrorists but what about future generation of extremists being raised in Pakistan? It's quite surprising to see that all Pakistan does is ban movies like Among the believers instead of being more proactive towards reforming its education system in order to destroy the roots of future terrorism.
