Pakistan So back in innovation?

Web news

Global Innovation status is in Pakistan continue to decline in the index, despite the fact that thousands of people have completed the PhD CDs Pakistan returned. - Creative Commons
Sadly, the report published in the Global Innovation Index 2015, which examines the impact of innovation on economic reconstruction and development in Pakistan is ranked 141 of 131 countries.

Ministry of Science and Technology gave the following reasons for the poor rating of the country frequently asked questions about the report in the National Assembly:

1: lower rates of GDP for science and technological development (GDP).

2: poor quality of science education in schools.

In Pakistan that they forgot to tell emphasizing the only rate lower rate Pakistan Science and Education 61 thousand researchers 10.670 PHP CDs, which is not a small number of nowhere, why the country contributes to the technological development not putting.

Even the Higher Education Commission (HEC) sent abroad for thousands of researchers from 2002 PhD billions have been spent. Innovation Index findings are interesting facts in the story of the last five years Pakistan.

Global Innovation status since its peak in 2011, Pakistan has constantly fall in the index, even though thousands of people have returned during Pakistan completed his Ph.D. CDs.

This is an alarming situation.

It is clear that instead of crying about the state of education in Pakistan declining basic scientific problem we must look elsewhere.

Switzerland is ranked first in the list of the CGI 57% belong to the study abroad, because they are given many privileges. But research in Pakistan such cars are not given any special packages, allowances or benefits.

HEC's policies
HEC's policies are a cause of frustration among researchers in Pakistan. Pakistan Most PhD researchers employed at universities under the control of HEC.

HEC need tenure track system (T S) with PhDs opened higher salaries and incentives for researchers, but there are serious shortcomings in the system and its policies and significant improvements in education infrastructure Is.

Tenure track had to be based solely on performance in teaching and research, but the contrast is most universities in TT S Faculty administrative and teaching activities, which lost its main purpose.

TT S may receive higher pay than ordinary faculty pay scale, but because of too much involvement in the management of the activities they put very little part in the research.

PhD strives to his promotion in order to qualify for financial benefits for self-employed researcher at the normal pay scale with a slight increase in salary after finishing.

The promotion of HEC current standard is called for a greater research papers published by researchers, the criteria or very little, or not at all are called.

This is the reason that Pakistan had a tremendous impact on the international research journal is not known at the international level, or to research published in the scientific field in the engineering sector.

Most research journals in the policies and procedures of the review is very weak and full of shortcomings.


Even researchers who are forced to be part of the non-productive activity is devoid of scientific significance.

The researchers are mandatory for productive research that takes away from these activities, such as domestic exchange to establish research groups, jointly creative ideas from the scientific community to attract foreign researchers, Organising scientific events to promote science and research.

The biggest obstacle to scientific progress in Pakistan is hampering the gap between universities and industries. Number of research projects in most universities around the world emanates from industrial requirements, and also the funding of the industry.

While HEC, Pakistan Science Foundation and the National ICT R & D funding agencies like the universities are trying to bridge the gap between industries, but were they financed most of the research projects on engineering in addition to some work and some do not, which is no new scientific work of any kind.

The main reasons are as follows:

1. Failure to provide adequate information to industries

2: Scientific knowledge and passion absence

3: Do not take joint measures with little or no funding agencies and / or universities.

Dilapidated state of basic education infrastructure is also very painful. If the government in Pakistan alone, even seems to lack the expensive private schools equally, the logical errors and pondering the developed curriculum, laboratory facilities and deductive thinking.

More admissions and examinations faulty system in most universities that works to further the issue.

Without giving attention to the tragic quality of basic education funding to a foreign country in order to de dilapidated PHP is equivalent to standing on the skyscraper.

For this problem, we need a revolutionary change in our basic education system. Our review of the primary school curriculum and teaching as well as to optimize the structure, we need to make it possible to be a good salary for teaching jobs in order to draw the candidate.

We attach equal importance to teach children religion, so they should also teach the science, because it can only move forward in a way that we inventions.
