“There is no doubt that the future of our State will and must greatly depend upon  the type of education and the way in which we bring up our children as the future  servants of Pakistan. Education does not merely mean academic education, and  even that appears to be of a very poor type. What we have to do is to mobilize our  people and build up the character of our future generations. There is immediate  and urgent need for training our people in the scientific and technical education in  order to build up future economic life, and we should see that our people  undertake scientific commerce, trade and particularly, well-planned industries. But  do not forget that we have to compete with the world, which is moving very fast in  this direction. Also I must emphasize that greater attention should be paid to  technical and vocational education.”  Quid-e-Azam - Mohammad Ali Jinnah  Pakistan Educational Conference, held in Karachi on 27th November, 1947 © PCDN 2011 developed by Bizz UK Limited Working for Community Cohesion and Integration Home - Articals - Photos - Contact  In Partnership With:
