Agree, at the mere mention of Pakistan, in the head immediately appear or picture of violent skirmishes between the Taliban and suicide bombers, had seen in television programs and movies or a country enslaved by poverty and lack of hygiene with the most severe climate that you can think of - sudden changes from the searing cold of the Arctic to the scorching African heat. Even Pakistani children appear to us not only as a juvenile fanatical terrorists. In fact, it is not so.
In Pakistan, as in any other country, people live quite happily, to bear and raise children, if possible give them an education and hard work for the benefit of their country. We Pakistan perceive exactly as I have written above because certain political propaganda, but largely because the country is quite different from the European style and quality life.
But we will not consider the subtleties of Pakistan's political system, and focus on the education system, which seems to me very interesting.
So, Pakistan - a Muslim country, where people's lives completely subordinate to Sharia law. So much so that every single Pakistani on her second birthday necessarily receives a gift special children's book called "Supari", which sets out the main provisions of the Qur'an and various prayers and ceremonies.
Of course, the child learns not their own, and does so in the company of children under the supervision of a teacher in a special group formed at the mosque. In the European sense, such groups can be designated as a nursery, basic classes which are directed
to study the traditions and aspects of Islam.
In such groups, the teacher reads a line from the book, and the kids repeat after him. And so until then, until they learn the appropriate section of the text. It should be noted that until recently, this kind of education (religious groups in mosques) - it was a limit that could afford low-income residents of Pakistan.
And it is quite clear that this type of education, almost everything depends on the knowledge and the authority of the teacher. If the teacher - an erudite man, one can assume that his lucky pupils and their knowledge will be extensive and of good quality. Otherwise - everything happens exactly the opposite, but in such hands, no one in Pakistan will dare to accuse the teacher. For here the teacher (and the representatives of the profession here are just so respectful with a capital letter) one object is not something that does not dare, and do not even think about it.
Modern general education system of Pakistan British copies. For example, the pre-school is that children begin to attend to 3 years, divided into three stages: playgroups, nurseries and kindergarten. However, despite numerous attempts of activists to change the situation for the better, the general level of literacy of the population is poor. According to statistics, a primary school in Pakistan (and it is only 5 classes) have completed only 60% of children.
Primary school in Pakistan is a mixed classes, where girls learn together with boys. Starting from the 6th grade of those who wanted (or could) continue their studies, already shared by sex and distributed in the female and male classes.
Of the main subjects studied in the general secondary school are required Urdu - Pakistan's national language, English, mathematics, fine arts, social studies, Islamic studies and science.
Grades 6-8 are considered to be in Pakistan junior high school after the 10th grade children come with a certificate of secondary education the profile. Then you can go to college and two years later (just enough training lasts) student with a solid background is now sufficient specialized knowledge may enter the university.
Education in Pakistan's colleges, which are called "English" as a rule, pay. But local residents are trying to send their children to such schools is because their ending makes it possible to go to college and continue their studies.
Teaching in these schools, mostly in English, and therefore must here for admission first take a course in a special pre-school, where the child will familiarize with the basics English. If parents do not want their kid studied at this "podkurse", the child will have to enroll in "English" school entrance exams: mathematics, English and Urdu.
Along with the "English", there are also traditional schools in Pakistan. Set them held from 6 - 7 years, training lasts for 10 years and is free. Along with the study of basic disciplines, great attention is paid to the local customs and traditions, new methods in education here do not accept and study the Koran is fundamental.
In these schools, too, there is a separation: in the first version of the children are taught common discipline, and in the the second - the number of common subjects to a minimum, and the whole process of learning is the study Koran. This education program called hafiznaya. According to a study program chosen by the child. When choosing hafiznoy program, he was transferred to a special class, where all subjects are taught Hafiz. At the end of grade 6 child delivers special examinations and, if successful, he became a hafiz and automatically can thus continue their education. But often, after the end of this program, children complete their acquaintance with the sciences in general. After the release of the traditional school, girls tend to stay at home and lead management, and boys may either enroll in a special Islamic University and continue to study the Koran, or to open a small private business.
Along with the above listed schools in the country, there are the so-called school of "the future." Objects in these schools are mainly focused on European education, carried out extensive studies of popular European languages, but also to study the Koran, however, it is in the foreground. In other words, after the end of this school, the child can continue their education in any European university, or else stay in the country.
The most popular of such schools is the Beacon House. Education here is conducted by the Cambridge system, and along with it studied Hadith, Urdu and Pakistani traditions. The fact that the school has branches in countries such as France, Germany, Switzerland and Canada speaks about teaching level.
The country has a different universities and work, they can even get a master's degree. The duration of training depends on the subject of education. You can even get a doctorate. But the problem is that almost anyone that science is not needed. Locals get their minimum and go to the "free" life. The government is so careless about this issue that in many small villages in Pakistan there is still an extremely high level of general illiteracy of the population. And as such, the formation of the normal who does not have the money to get a person is simply unrealistic.
