The ideology of
Pakistan lays down two important obligations for
the Government. Firstly Education will become
accessible to all citizens. Secondly it shall
enable them to prepare an enlighten and
civilized individuals committed to the cause of
Islam. These obligations are in accordance with
the teaching of the Qur'an, which recognizes
provision of education as a right of the
individual.
Quad-e-Azam
says
"You know the
importance of education and the right type of
education cannot be overemphasized. Under Under
foreign rule for over a century, sufficient
attention have not been paid to the education of
our people and if we are to make a real, speedy,
and substantial progress, we must earnestly
tackle this question and bring our people, in
consonance with our history and culture, having
regard for the modern conditions and vast
developments that have taken place all over the
world"
Quaid further
says.. !
"There is no
doubt that the future of our state will and must
greatly depend upon the type of education we
give to our children, and the way in which we
bring them up as future citizens of Pakistan.
Education does not merely mean academic
education. There is immediate and urgent need
for giving scientific and technical education to
our people in order to build up our future
economic life and to see that our people take to
science, commerce, trade and particularly
well-planned industries. We should not forget,
that we have to complete with the world which is
moving very fast towards growth and
development."
" At the same time
we have to build the character of our
generation. We should try, by sound education,
to instill into them the highest sense of honour,
integrity, responsibility and selfless
service to the nation."
