The purpose of this research article is to investigate the key issues,
problems and the new challenges in Pakistan. Education plays the role
of leadership in the society. The functions of the educational institutions
are to develop the people physically, mentally, psychologically, socially,
and spiritually. It improves and promotes the economic, social, political
and cultural life of the nation. Until now the role of secondary and
college education in Pakistan has been simply preparation for tertiary
education, which in the minds of most people means strictly a university
education. All over the world universities are guiding and co-operating
with the industrial and agricultural development organizations and they
are developing their economics rapidly and meaningfully. There is a
close link between education and development. In Pakistan, after more
than five decades, the developmental indicators are not showing positive
results. The participation rate at higher education is low comparatively
to other countries of the region. There are problems of quality of staff,
students, library and laboratory. Relevance with society needs, research
facilities, financial crisis, arts students more than science students,
weaknesses of examination, ineffective governance and academic results
are not at par with international standards. Considering the gigantic
problems of education in Pakistan, the researcher selected this topic for
research.
