Students are
important asset of any society and they need to be cared.Student life is full
of charm and enjoy and every one who is in practical life always miss his/her
student life. But with lots of joys and fun student life is also have some
challenges and problems. Some students didn’t get admission in their desired
colleges or in desired study programs. Students of developing countries like
Pakistan have lots of problems, as financial problems, poor transportation
system of Pakistan, language barrier, insincere teachers and many more
problems. Problem of career counseling gets further intensified specifically when this problem is not with everyone. Now a days terrorism
and load shedding are the big distracting factors. Students are important
asset of any society and they need to be cared.
We as a part of society, shall try helping
students, if not financially it can be done by understanding, and listening to
their problems. Students who are fortunate enough to get enrolled in
institutions does not enjoy high way of peace; un-trained teachers often
develop barrier with students to cover their weaknesses.
In spite of all these problems and challenges,
the student life is best period of everyone’s life. Some problems faced by
students are given below:
Imposed Study programme:
Student are not free to choose study program
of their own choice. We have only 73 public universities and most of the
population study in these universities. Parents imposed a field of study
which is not suitable for the child or he couldn’t feel good to study in that
field. This is very common problem of our society.
Financial Problems:
Students face Financial problem Because in
college life there are more that things which are used money. In
Pakistan education is very expensive due to the shortage of public educational
institutes. Our most of the students belong to the middle class and they have
very limited resources. Lots of students have to work part time to sponsor
their studies themselves. Students can cope with these crises very easily by a
little effort. There are lots of home tuitions available for university
students to teach students for 2 or 3 hours and earn money to meet their
expenditures. Students can also do a part time job which is related to their
studies this would give them a practical experience of their field.
Transportation:
Many educational institutes have their own buses
to facilitate the students but still there are lots of students who travel
through public transports. Traffic is a very common problem of the citizens of
Pakistan. People are packed in the buses and vans like sacks, young students
climb up the roofs of the buses. There is great rush on the roads people were
on their way to offices, school, colleges, etc and that time there is shortage
of public transports on the roads. Due to which buses and vans are full.
Government never thinks about the traffic problems of students.
Teachers' insincerity:
This is very common
problem and nearly all the students talked about it. Teachers never In our
society teaching is not considered a good profession and people who are in this
profession not sincere with it. In colleges and universities mostly teachers
doesn’t come in time and mostly classes are off due to the unavailability of
teachers. Teaching is a very crucial matter and teachers should have
enough time to teach students and prepare his lecture well before class.
Teachers should not have any task rather than teaching the students. But here
teachers have to do lots of other extra works in institutes.
Lake of basic IT knowledge:
Information Technology
is most imported thing for students but due to the lack of IT knowledge
students faces many problems because it is the era of Information Technology.
Computer and internet is involved in every field of life. In Pakistan most of
the students didn’t have the basic knowledge of computer and internet when they
enroll in colleges or universities. Their lake of IT knowledge creates lots of
problems for them. Nowadays, more and more students study abroad. Along
with all the problems that international faced, language barrier becomes the
biggest problem for international students,
Language Barrier:
Language barrier is also
caused lack of confidence among students who got education in Urdu, When students
got admission in colleges or universities they face a very common problem of
language barrier. Most of the students were studied in Urdu and in colleges and
universities most subjects and books are in English. They can’t understand it
easily.
Unhealthy environment:
Students usually have to study in unhealthy and non friendly environment. As
sometime the fellows and teachers are very non friendly and behave rudely. In
Pakistan female students face very unhealthy environment as usually their family
didn’t support them to study, most of girls don’t feel comfortable with
co-education are the big problems faced by female students.
