All Praise For ALLAH ALMIGHTY, My first ever story was published on Yuvoice (an international platform for volunteer writers).
In this piece, I delve into my personal experiences navigating Pakistan’s education system—a journey that symbolizes the broader struggles that countless students across the country face. From my early dreams of joining the army to confronting the systemic flaws of our schooling, my story sheds light on the critical issues affecting our students:
- Rigid Structures: How the system’s inflexibility often stifles genuine passion and curiosity, pushing students into predefined paths that may not align with their true interests.
- The Cost of Conformity: The tension between personal integrity, the need to conform to educational norms that prioritize format over substance, and the sacrifices made to pursue grades.
- Systemic Inequities: The challenges of navigating an educational framework that often favors a select few, leaving many talented individuals sidelined.
My story is more than just a personal narrative; it reflects the collective experience of many who have struggled against a system that sometimes feels designed to limit rather than liberate.
I invite you to read the full article here and share your thoughts. Together, we can spark conversations about the need for meaningful reforms and advocate for a system that truly supports and nurtures every student’s potential.
Thank you for your continued support and for joining me in this crucial dialogue! A special thanks to Molly Corso for their inspired edits on the piece.
