There has arisen a severe crisis in regards to the Educational Curriculum provided in Pakistan. This is caused by the study material provided on a secondary and higher secondary level, which affects the children's long-term development. The main problem lies with the score-related focus rather than the general development and ability to solve day-to-day problems. Furthermore, is there a lack of focus on creativity, such as creative writing, which is very important when focusing on critical and creative thinking.
Many teachers and staff are provided with a training sessions to improve education. However, most fail to conduct or finish the training. This results in the same old, outdated school system and educational curriculum.
