In the past, elders used to say that if you want pure milk, keep your buffalo and if you want pure knowledge, teach it to your children. This advice of elders has become an important need of today’s era.In today’s age, you not only want pure milk, then keep your buffalo, cow or goat, but if you want a pure plumber, teach your children to be a plumber, if you want a good electrician, keep shyness, shyness at the highest level. Teach your children the skill of electrician along with education (so that they can make a house fan, electric switch, motor fitting, etc. in due time, because nowadays a good craftsman is either not found and if found, he does not get time).
Teach motorcycle mechanics, car mechanics or other menial jobs during school holidays to avoid poverty, poverty and loss of financial resources. This is also necessary because Pakistan is one of the few countries in the world where poverty, hunger, unemployment, and unemployment are setting new records with each passing day, while on the other hand, dishonesty and deception are two numbers. We are also breaking our own records in lying, corruption.
On the one hand, people stand in long queues for hours for a bag of flour, on the other hand, if you go to a labor base, you will not find a decent worker. You will sweat through your teeth looking for a good mason. The plumber will not give you time, if he gives time, the bill will be high. A motorcycle mechanic will fix even the most unexpected faults in your bike.
The faith and worldly abilities of the people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan require that men and women, children and the elderly all get involved in the Chinese style. If women cannot work outside according to our culture, then they should learn such skills that they can work at home, behind the curtain, and if not, at least they can contribute to the economic field by rearing chickens and goats on the roof or balcony of the house.Similarly, children can help by learning skills along with education, but it will be better if they are given “skill classes” like math, urdu classes at the school level itself. In this way, our educational institutions, which have become dens of drugs, will become centers of positive activities. (According to a former federal minister, 55 percent of girls and 75 percent of boys in Islamabad’s educational institutions use drugs, and recently a female classmate at an elite school was assaulted by fellow girls for this reason.) He tried to stop them from getting drunk.)
Efforts have been made in this regard earlier in the country, but these efforts were limited to awareness campaigns. For example, during PITB’s awareness campaign in 2022 at the direction of the Punjab government, several seminars were held in which speakers, freelancers and influencers highlighted the importance of skills along with education, but perhaps no practical steps were taken. could goIt is a bitter reality that lakhs of educated youth are facing employment problem due to lack of skills along with education. Our youths are looking for jobs with degrees in hand but do not like learning skills. If these young people acquire a skill or technical education according to their mental abilities during education, they can earn their pocket money by doing a part-time job during education and after education. For example, if you acquire typing skills, it is possible to work as an office assistant/clerk/typist in any office without being a burden to anyone.
For your interest, the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union in the US state of Maryland teaches students skills during education, which makes it easier for students to pay off their student loans. You may be surprised to know that according to one study, of the 30 occupations considered successful in terms of employment, half of them require training rather than a university degree.The need is that the people of Pakistan should make sure to learn skills through education and then following the footsteps of China, instead of a big industrial unit, they should set up small units in their homes according to their skills and capabilities, then the day is not far when we We will come out of the cycle of poverty and Pakistan will have the world’s yes, otherwise it will not take long for us to become Sri Lanka.
Nowadays, a large number of students in Pakistan are also working as a part-time job to earn money from the Internet in addition to their studies. The world of internet has opened the way not only for boys but also for girls. Girls are now not only cooking to win the hearts of their husbands and families, but are also increasing their income by promoting their food on social media. When master chefs train them in cooking, they are encouraged to develop a passion for cooking by asking them new questions.In a class, the master chef asked a girl who was only studying but had never cooked, so the chef told her that it is not all about a woman’s education, but that It is also important to have skills. Similarly, girls can fulfill their economic needs by practicing home crafts, interior designing, language translation and blogging.
