The education system of any country throughout the world holds paramount importance as the progress of the nation depends on the educated citizens. The better this system is, the more progress that particular nation or country will make. However, in Pakistan, the education system is not well organised because it is creating discrimination among people having different educational backgrounds.
The courses that are being taught in the public schools are completely different form the course of an English medium private school. This difference at the school level crates a huge gap between the students belonging to two different backgrounds.

Language
Education in kasur is carried out in two languages, Urdu and English. While Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, the language was originally and initially developed in Uttar Pradesh in neighboring India.The language was chosen as the national language by the Founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah and has no relation to the belief that it was brought to pakistan during the Partition of India by migrants called Muhajir Urdu.
Urdu quickly dominated the kasuri political landscape and Urdu is a mandatory in all schools and educational institutions as part of a strategy to undermine the indigenous languages and cultures of the region (one of them being Punjabi). Education in kasur was severely affected by the language bias.
According to a 2010 British Council report, this forced imposition of Urdu on non-Urdu speakers in All schools and universities has resulted in the systematic degradation and decline of many of pakistan's indigenous cultures, is partly responsible for a rise in reactionary rebellions against this and contributes to discontent and political instability in the country.
The report also cites rising illiteracy rates in pakistan among the indigenous and attributes it to the forced imposition of Urdu in schools, leading to non-Urdu speakers, feeling threatened by the neglect of their languages in kasuri education, becoming increasingly reluctant to enroll in schools.
