"Parallel education systems." largest roadblock to growth: says Imran khan

Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed concern over the country's lack of leadership on Monday, saying that the current education system was the "greatest impediment" to the country's advancement.

"Our enslavement is due to our educational system." "Three parallel education systems in the country - English medium, Urdu medium, and Madrassas – have raised three countries," he declared during the inaugural ceremony of Al Qadir University's academic building in Islamabad.

He stated that his government intended to strengthen core education and implement a single curriculum in order to address the issues faced by competing education systems.

"Muslims are victims of mental enslavement as a result of colonialism," Prime Minister Imran stated.

The prime minister also addressed the country's leadership crisis, which he described as the "greatest difficulty" in recent years.

"There are no leaders among us." The majority of the leaders are untrustworthy. The leader bears a great deal of duty. "A leader's role is to serve the people," he explained.

According to the pm, speaking the truth and upholding justice are two attributes of a leader.

Making well-informed decisions

In the face of the obscene literature available on the internet, PM Imran emphasised the importance of providing young with "educated choices." He believed that while the government could not shut down social media, it could educate children about making good decisions.

Learning based on research

In his speech, the Prime Minister criticized the lack of scholarship on Muslim intellectuals in the country. Such efforts, he believes, would raise student understanding of the contributions of Islamic thinking and Muslim thinkers.

"All of the world's scientists, cultural leaders, and thought leaders were Muslim intellectuals." He continued, "There is no conflict between Islam and science," while expressing worry about study on Islamic thinkers.

"Research is what distinguishes a university."

He said that the best work on Islam was being done in Western countries because "kufr ka fatwa" was not a threat. Debate, according to the prime, is vital to encourage critical thinking.
