What Is Student Unrest Issue In Pakistan?

Student unrest is not limited to Pakistan only. That is why, it is generally thought that there must be some more serious and psychological reason then what we have been able to discover. Some have suggested that education had not been keeping pace with changing circumstances of life. In life there are many temptations particularly for a young man. There are games, cinemas, concerts etc. All of these divert his attention from studies. As a result of it, he is unable to concentrate and wants to be promoted to the next class without taking examination. So he comes in clash with the authorities.

Another psychological reason is that young people have become democratic but education is still authoritarian. So the students do not like the authoritarianism prevalent in the universities and colleges. Moreover, the students have their own problems which the teachers and the professors completely ignore. Universities and colleges have become the arena of politics. The vice chancellors and principals are appointed on the undue recommendations of political leaders. Similarly, the elections of students, councils have brought politics in the colleges and the universities. Consequently the innocent students are generally exploited by the politicians.

Student, unrest can be finished by permitting only limited number of students to get higher education. otherwise also it is a negative approach.
