Education Reform in Pakistan

The International Crisis Group is out with its latest report on education reforms in Pakistan:
"“Pakistan needs to take bold steps to tackle its education crisis”, says Jonathan Prentice, Acting Asia Program Director. “Millions of children are still out of school, and the quality of education for those enrolled remains poor. This is more than a question of the rights of children, vital though that is; ultimately, it goes directly to the state’s ability to combat extremism. Decades of neglect can only be reversed by overhauling Pakistan’s academic curriculum and education bureaucracy”.

I hope people, especially those in charge of planning and development, read this and maybe, perhaps maybe, start taking the steps for much needed reform.
