  • Education and Countering Violent Extremism: a Case Study of Schools in Pakistan
    Journal of Education and Social Sciences, Vol. 2, (Oct.) ISSN 2289-9855 2015 EDUCATION AND COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM: A CASE STUDY OF SCHOOLS IN PAKISTAN Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri Assistant Professor/Head, School of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences, Minhaj University, Lahore [email protected] ABSTRACT There has been an increasing realization within the world community that uni-focal approach to deal with the menace of terrorism and violent extremism is not capable of delivering results as it just seeks to eradicate symptoms without necessarily trying to address the root causes that are at heart of mushroom growth of the problem. It is a battle of hearts and minds then anything else. This paper at hand explores the role of education in combating the violent extremism by using Pakistani education system as a case study. It undertakes a historical perspective of growth of the educational sector in Pakistan by delving deep into pre-partition system. The paper also shows why education has failed to cure the malaise and what can be done to render it into a force for eradication of violence based ideology. In order to present the authenticity and effectiveness of education to counter extremism, the writer also has thrown light on the three phase educational reforms movement in Indo-Pak Sub-continent’s history and it’s after effects. The paper recommends the measures to make the imparting of education a meaningful and productive process aimed at combating violent extremism. Key words: Violent Extremism, Pakistani Education, Educational Reforms, Madrassa, Politics Introduction The war on terror, which started in 2001 following catastrophic events in New York, is well into the second decade.
