The government of Pakistan is passing through tumultuous times. It is quite clear that if the representatives of the people possessed some education or knowledge they might not have been so brutal in their dealings. They would have been awarding benefits to the entire nation irrespective of their vested interests.
Only one idea comes to mind: what if the election commission sets a system for the representatives? What is necessary at this level is that the election commission examines all our would-be representatives before giving them a ticket to fight in the upcoming election. In this way, we will be able to select those people who are educated and judicious. What that examination must contain is another question. The English language, Pakistan affairs, current affairs, every day science, Islamic history and Indo-Pak history should be included in the course.
All representatives must possess an education of the Masters level or higher so that they have the necessary knowledge of the education system in Pakistan. When such educated people will be elected, they will surely be able to improve the institutions of Pakistan. I request the election commission to implement this system for the building of a better Pakistan for the future.
