Why Pakistani educated youngsters are jobless?

Now a day each of us gets education for a common purpose. The said purpose is to have a good job and to settle ourselves. In other words we can say that getting a job is the main aim of getting education. But question arise that why is job necessary for a good and satisfied life. A life: when we and our family has no fear of any upcoming worse situation.

          Can we say that having a job means a good and satisfied life? Of course, job is a source which can insure our tomorrow. That’s the reason, why everyone wants to get a good job. From very early age we join schools then colleges and in many cases even universities. After getting 14 or 16 years education, a very small ratio prefers to start their own business. There are so many reasons for that. A very common and great is that our youngsters don’t get education of their choice. Majority of parents want their children, to get education of their choice not of their children choice. The aforesaid situation leads to lake of interest on the part of children in their education. This results on formalities. Youngsters only study for grades and divisions. So such degree holders neither can establish their own business nor can get reasonable jobs.

          It is also said that our education system delivers a non functional education. Our youngsters having that non functional education are unable to have their own business and also can’t get a job of their choice. Data shows that a large number of educated youth is jobless. Around the world functional education has taken the place of formal education. Learning and understanding something is much better than learning something by heart without understanding it. So it’s the time to help our youth in getting functional education and education of their choice. As a result we could overcome the adversity of joblessness.
