Education system limitations in Pakistan

The main problem in the education system is limited budgeting in which the stats show that Pakistan spends 2.4% GDP on education. In this scenario two corners should be intact with focus improvement, first of all counseling of parents is required, so that they can choose a career for their child which is according to their child’s interest. Secondly, scholarships for Pakistani students must be circulated so that talented students should not be neglected due to financial reasons.
