Education is the transformation of norms and values which have passed from one generation to the other.
It is an articulation of human competence and intelligence after a formal as well as informal learning process. Articulation of skills through mode of education in the best version of learning is a definitive self-governing of academia.
People are always curious to find out and ascertain new actualities and realities about different aspects of life either as science students or as a common learner. Education plays a big role in the development and progress of any country as its standard of education depicts and represents the country’s real essence of advancement and innovations.
Academics play a vital role in lifting the morale of people around them and instilling values in students, as Nelson Mandela quoted that education is the only weapon that promotes progress.
Education is the tool which enables a society to excel. Ultimately a most educated nation and comprehensive education system build a nation that is followed by other nations as a role model.
Students are always considered as an asset for development and progress for a country, students’ life is not an easy one, they have to suffer a lot from dawn to dusk till several turns of time to gain academic as well career goals.
Due to poverty and economic disorder our beloved country suffers lots of social problems which are source of other social problems. Students must be guided and treated as the loved ones, burden of study, loads of academics and difficulties to reach the educational institutions are also some headaches of students.
Pakistan is under developing country, where education is very expensive, there are limited number of public universities, colleges and schools where students can get free education. Absence of students’ education in one’s life can create serious thunders of difficulties to sustain the life joyfully.
Students are always wrapped with many problems like language, fear complex, transport, psychological problems and list is bit long.

Economically problems are also great hindrances for students to receive quality education as they intended and desire to achieve their goals as per set with accordance. When academics and academia are observed with formal and informal trends of learnings, it seems like a building of dreams without fulfilment of those thoughts. Some time students-teacher relationship does not make a strong bond for learning sensibly for the future concerns, if individuals would not be the educated and literate ones then they will add the oxygen in illiteracy rate and poverty, which will decisively create the economic disorder. As many students are source of feeding their families, their difficulties must be addressed as priority by government and state. Students also face the difference, which are set out by curriculum and outdated syllabus with respect to gender, race, religious aspects as well, which usually penetrate students and some time they skip and quite to get education. Students have to learn and recall all unwanted things to pass the exam to get their paper called degree or certificate of school. Along with syllabus, examination patterns are not healthy, Sindh is in circle of copy and cheating trends during the exams of schools and colleges, sometimes universities become helpless to stop cheating patterns, there are so many reasons and causes as nothing can happen without motivation. Then question arises that, what is feasible and possible solution of students’ problem? Who and by whom these headache will become eradicated? As legislation is full of education policies with huge gaps and flaws, a comprehensive and systematic educational policy is need of time, outdated syllabus and curriculum must be of contemporary in nature.
Education must not be an economic institute of banking system, like pay the payment and get receipt. It should be a primarily an academic institution for the comprehensive learning.
Students’ life is the life of horrors over bed of troubles and pains. This figure of fear complex remains dominant over the years in the life of a student. So, it should be made compulsory, When a policy or legislations is going to reform , students and their overall life styles with respect to region, community and race must be considered as prioritise basis.
Moreover, Infrastructure and transportation must be well equipped and of advance nature.
Facilities including basic needs must be entertained with complete set of accessibility and accessories for the future assets of country. Students must be treated as learners by teachers and administration of institute not as the prisoners and teachers must be considered as a guide and mentor ones not labelled them with inappropriate tags.
Conclusively, it is opted to mention the sad reality of life span of student invests against academics and career must be worth full after his/her certificate or degree.
Future depiction of progressive and advance Pakistan can made possible by facilitating and assisting students at every stage of their academic and career.
Career counselling is very important for students, as they can put their skills and abilities to proper use when they have a sense of direction.
