  • The Role of Schools in Building a Peaceful Society in Pakistan
    2012 International Conference on Education and Management Innovation IPEDR vol.30 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore The role of schools in building a peaceful society in Pakistan Abida Mahmood Qurban & Surraya Educational Trust, Main Walton Rd, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan Abstract: It is known to all that the relation between school and society is very close and integral. We cannot think of a school without a society and a society without school is unimaginable. One without the other does not carry any sense. These are two sides of a same coin. School are places which prepare the by- products of the society. School directs the society, reforms the society and ensure the progress of the society by analyzing the principles and rules and selecting only those which have some good effects on society. If the school fails to do it, the society will fail to be a productive entity. Unfortunately over the last two decades the Pakistani society has seen a rise in extremism, militancy, terrorism, poverty, hopelessness and economic disparity among social classes and the main cause of all these evils is the lack of school system. This paper looks at the society in some troubled parts of Pakistan and the relationship of the failed education systems in those societies and also looks at other parts of the society and their educational value systems that have helped transform the local communities. It recommends the positive cycle in which schools should be following value systems that produce creative youngsters who can be useful citizens and form a positive community and such empowered communities to ensure the running of a sound educational system.

Today's world is changing inexorably fast. Computing speeds are now measured in Xenottabytes (1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Bytes) and Yottabytes (1000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Bytes). So unless we fiercely strive to keep pace with these breakneck changes of the modern-day world we would soon find ourselves becoming irrelevant. As such, how we learn and respond to the changing world around us is going to be most critical for our future successes. A safe and secure future therefore belongs to those making it now, and choosing the right higher education institution is going to be a pivotal decision you will make at this stage of your life. I therefore warmly welcome you to COMSATS University Islamabad, popularly abbreviated as CUI, a vibrant and exciting home to around 35,000 students.
