Life is hard and challenging for the disciplined people, but easy and rewarding for the people who do not think twice before violating the law. For the violators of law, everything is possible and potentially lucrative in this land. This is why ‘disciplined people’ choose to leave the country and settle abroad. There are so many talented Pakistani people who are settled in foreign civilised and democratic countries while others are in the process of leaving their homeland. Pakistan is slowly losing its youth. Any why shouldn’t these people leave the country?
Young people will not want to live in a country where merit is disrespected, where unqualified teachers rule education institutions. What will be the state of affairs of a society where such people are appointed as teachers or given the repeated extension as faculty members who neither have passion nor an inclination towards teaching? It is the responsibility of rulers to create a just and transparent society so that the new generation of the country stays and contributes to the progress of the homeland.
