Five Ways to Improve The Structure of Pakistan's Education System

   Five ways to improve the structure of Pakistan's education system

Universal primary education in Pakistan is contingent on several factors, such as the existence of cost-effective schools, better curricula, and an awareness among parents, especially in rural areas, of the importance of education. However, the single most important factor in getting children to complete primary school is improving the structure of Pakistan's school system.

Currently, there exist many obstacles on the road to a smoothly functioning system. These include political interference, corruption, over-centralization, a lack of school autonomy, underdeveloped managerial capacity and poor information systems.

However, there are five institutional reforms that can help improve Pakistan's educational structure so that it can achieve the goal of universal primary education.

1.....The first reform is the decentralization of decision-making, which improves education administration. Presently, Pakistan educational system is highly centralized even though it is widely understood that basic education is better provided in a system that is administered at the district and village level.

A highly centralized system does not respond as effectively to local needs. The bureaucracy interferes with the flow of resources and information. It also means higher level administrators have less time to devote to important issues like program design, implementation, and monitoring.

This decentralization means governments must develop partnerships with communities, NGOs, and the private sector to delegate responsibility effectively in order to achieve universal primary education.

2......A second step necessary for improving the system is greater autonomy for the schools. Currently, school principals have a limited decision-making capacity. In addition, schools do not have control over issues like curriculum, teacher appointment, discipline, and evaluation. There are virtually no opportunities for local staff development programs or resource mobilization.

By giving schools more independence, principals would have the authority to appoint personnel and determine crucial issues that affect the day-to-day affairs of schools. Principals, not upper-level bureaucrats, are in a better position to make these decisions since they deal with the daily realities of school life.

3......A third important reform is providing better support to, supervision of, and coordination of the school system at the district and provincial level. By making the district the key level for planning and management, state-level and central education bodies can focus more on policy-making, resource management and regulation.

One way to do this is by promoting good principals and teachers at the school level to enhance the institutional capacity of district level organizations. The lack of sufficient manpower is the most serious problem at the district and sub-district level.

4......A fourth necessary reform is to encourage decision-making be based on educational, not political, considerations. At present, politicians hand out teaching jobs as patronage appointments. Federal and provincial funds provided for education sometimes remain unused, especially in rural areas, since feudal landowners are opposed to educating "their" people.

5.....The final necessary reform is to expand the information and research base of education in Pakistan. Effective management and administration of the education system depends on the quality of the information system. Without reliable information, decision-makers cannot improve education policy and programs at the national, district and school levels.

One way of collecting reliable information about the state of education is to conduct standardized testing that measures student performance against national curriculum goals. These can be used to compare learning achievement across schools, districts and regions over time.

There is also a need for better research. Pakistan currently has one institution that conducts research on educational issues, the Academy of Educational Planning and Management, which conducts research on basic education. However, its abilities are hampered by inadequate funds, no institutionalized basis for collecting, processing and analyzing data, no technical support staff and little influence in policy making.

Kandhkot Gas Field

The pioneer of the natural gas industry in the country, Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has been a frontline player in the energy sector since the mid-1950s. As a major supplier of natural gas, PPL today contributes some 25 percent of the country’s total natural gas supplies besides producing crude oil, Natural Gas Liquid and Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

The company’s history can be traced back to the establishment of a public limited company in June 1950, with major shareholding by Burmah Oil Company (BOC) of the United Kingdom. In September 1997, BOC disinvestedfrom the Exploration and Production (E&P) sector worldwide and sold its equity in PPL to the Government of Pakistan. Subsequently, the government reduced its holding through an initial public offer in June 2004, which was further decreased with the initiation of the Benazir Employees Stock Option Scheme (BESOS) in August 2009 whenPPL employees were allotted 12 percent shares from the government’s equity. Currently, the company’sshareholding is divided between the government, which owns about 71 percent, PPL Employees Empowerment Trust that has approximately 8 percent — being shares transferred to employees under BESOS — and private investors, who hold nearly 21 percent.

PPL operates six producing fields across the country at Sui (Pakistan’s largest gas field), Adhi, Kandhkot, Chachar,Mazarani and Hala and holds working interest in twelve partner-operated producing fields, including Qadirpur the country’s second largest gas field.

As a major stakeholder in securing a safe energy future for the country, PPL pursues an aggressive exploration agenda aimed at enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and replenish reserves. In Pakistan, the company’s exploration portfolio comprises 33 exploration blocks. Of these, PPL operates 19 blocks and has working interest in 14, including two off-shore blocks, as non-operating partner. PPL is also among the first local E&P companies to extend its operations beyond national borders and has an interest in an exploration licence in Yemen in a joint venture with OMV and Yemen General Corporation for Oil and Gas.

Over the years, PPL has developed a reliable foundation and infrastructure for providing clean and safe energy through sustainable exploitation of indigenous natural resources while adhering to best practices of corporate governance and employee health and safety and constraining the ecological footprint of its operations. As a result, Monitoring and Inspection, Design and Construction, Drilling Operations, Joint Operations and Projects departments, Mazarani, Adhi, Kandhkot and Chachar fields, Sui Field Gas Compressor Station, SuiProduction, Sui Field Engineering and Sui Purification stand certified for ISO 9001 Quality Management System.

Similarly, Kandhkot, Mazarani, Adhi and Chachar fields, Sui Production, Sui Field Gas Compressor Station, SuiField Stores, Sui Field Engineering and Drilling Operations, Design and Construction, Projects, Health, Safety and Environment departments and Sui Field Hospital have been certified for ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series. Sui Purification is also certified forOHSAS 18001.

PPL has played a significant role as a responsible corporate citizen since the inception of its commercial activities in Sui by establishing the Sui Model School in 1957 for children of workers and local communities. In 2001, the PPLWelfare Trust was founded to provide geographical and thematic diversity to the company’s CSR programme, which currently includes education, health, infrastructure development and socio-economic uplift of disadvantaged communities living in and around its operating areas as well as other parts of the country.

Overview

Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) operates six producing fields in Sui, Kandhkot, Adhi, Mazarani, Chachar and Hala– the first two wholly owned by PPL – and has working interest in twelve partner-operated producing assets.

Daily gas production from PPL-operated and partner-operated fields stands at one billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas per day, which translates into approximately 25 percent of the country’s total gas production. The company’s major clients comprise Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL), Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Water and Power Development Authority.

On September 30, 2011, PPL’s proven recoverable reserves were 2.762 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas, 35.812 million barrels (bbl) of oil/NGL and 308,700 tonnes (tons) of LPG.

Production
