Who'da ever thunk such a thing? | LAHORE: Muslims are facing social and economic problems because they are not united, said Colonel (r) Shuja Khanzada, the Punjab Minister for Chief Minister's Inspection Team (CMIT), while talking to a student delegation on Sunday. The minister said that adopting information technology and modern education would develop Muslim countries. He urged youths to devote their energies in achieving modern education.
Rather than memorizing the Koran? Good idea... | Khanzada said that it was unfortunate that Muslims were not self-reliant despite having enormous resources. The minister said that the Punjab government had introduced education reforms and new universities and colleges were being set up across the province along with computer labs in all primary schools. "The reforms have resulted in reducing the drop-out ratio," he added.
The problem with self-reliance actually doesn't stem from education. Ignorant men are often self-reliant. Self-reliance comes from being left to make one's own mistakes and learn from them. |
