Education in Pakistan

Good example of how education and education systems can become a medium for propaganda. Funny (I mean strange) the twin towers are shown in the pix.

Not just propoganda, in fact, propoganda against progress and the modern civilization of the West. Yes, it's really starnge that governmnet-regulated schools would show the Twin Towers. What is the king of ironies is that America is paying the government millions of dollars in aid.

only twin towers pix suggests propaganda against the west. Otherwise, they just seem to be for violence, and against entertainment and technology (aka progress, as you mentioned).

Hey Debs are u sure this is still current in Pakistan. I doubt so.

Got a vid of the schools. there. It is very poor and hope something better can be done for them. the kids look very welll behaved and respectful although conditions are poor.

I don't think I can see all images.

Anyway, I do see the bandook. This is not reflective of education in Pakistan. Most of Pakistan is an average education system. They do a decent job with limited means to impart knowledge and information. A lot of it is very similar to that in India or other subcontinental countries.

The image you portray reflects propaganda education as promoted by extremists in certain parts of Pakistan. As such propaganda education is a dangerous thing detrimental to society. Extremists brainwash innocent children and use them as tools to promote their selfish means.

However, when it comes to propaganda education it is not just Pakistan we should point fingers at. Nor is propaganda education as blatant. A lot of times it is a subliminal brainwashing and convincing the population that a certain government of form of religion is beneficial. Conduct a google search and you will find excellent images and studies on communist propaganda and Nazi propaganda.

The most shameless example of brainwashing and censorship is the great firewall of China. A systematic control of information by the government. Unfortunately, since it is not lethal to the rest of the world like Islamic extremism - no one cares much and we have a government that predates its own citizens, commits more human rights violations than terrorists actually do - and yet gets away with only few eyebrows raised.
