This is with regards to the feature, “Who knows, who knows not” published yesterday. It is indeed a pity to note that Pakistan is ranked at the 145th spot on the Human Development Index. However, the fact that we are languishing at the 160th position out of 182 countries is what perturbs me the most personally. Without education, there is absolutely nothing that we can do to improve ourselves. We are crying for democracy, we are clamouring for change, but without ameliorating ourselves on the education front, all this noise is pointless. The lack of education is the biggest problem in Pakistan, and we need to address it very soon.
