About the Education of the Pakistani Christian Students

The key to success in life is education.It opens numerous growth doors and presents opportunities.Those who lack it face a bleak future and cannot move forward without it.

Pakistan is a nation with a lot of religion and culture.Islam is the predominant religion, but Christianity, Hinduism, and Sikhism are among the minority religions.Christians make up Pakistan’s largest minority group.They make up about 1.6 percent of Pakistan’s population.

Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.But if you’ve lost your right to education, how can you imagine making a difference in the world?Christians in Pakistan have been experiencing this for a long time.However, Christians have taken to the streets to protest this discrimination, and it is now a topic of public agitation.

The Christian community of Pakistan has the lowest percentage of educated Pakistanis, despite the fact that Christian missionary organizations are the originators of some of the most prestigious educational institutions. Dr. John Patrick provided a collection of recent facts that show: Primary education is available to 6% of Pakistani Christians. 4 % of Pakistani Christians have a high school diploma, 1 % have a college degree, and 0.5 % have a professional degree.

Prior to 1956, non-Muslim students were required to meet a quota of 5% in order to gain admission to educational institutions.However, the odds of non-Muslim students being admitted to colleges and universities have decreChurches were in charge of Christian educational institutions prior to independence.However, the Bhutto government nationalized them in 1972 after forcing their takeover.These Islamized institutions no longer have a Christian character.

Many of these previously non-Muslim institutions were denationalized and returned to their owners under the Bhutto administration.Christian institutions were not, however, denationalized.For Christians, these establishments served as the fundamental hubs for learning, social and cultural gatherings, and spiritual growth.There are no longer any Christian students, professors, or teachers there.ased since its abolition nine years after Independence.

It was appropriated by the government for construction purposes toward the end of the 1990s.After that, a Muslim principal and Muslim staff were hired, and only Muslims could apply for jobs there.All Christian employees were laid off.In order to make way for a shopping mall, the government is now allowing the school to be demolished.

Even though the school was de-nationalized in 2004, Christians were not given it back.In addition, less than one percent of the school’s students are Christians.Even though education is a universal right, Christians are denied access to a school that was founded as a Christian school, a violation of that right.Without a doubt, in the event that non-Muslims can concentrate on in Christian Establishments, for what reason are Christian Understudies not given the option to concentrate on in Muslim organizations?

Due to discrimination and the fact that this school only offers a Muslim curriculum and does not provide Christians with religious education, Christian parents are reluctant to send their children there.

Schools, colleges, and universities led by Muslims like Kinnaird College, Aitchison College, GC University, and LUMS charge fees that Christians can’t afford.In reality, only wealthy individuals and high-ranking military and government officials can send their children to these schools.

Numerous concerns arise in these circumstances:
What are Christian students’ prospects in Pakistan, where they are compelled to study Islamic studies, invited, and sometimes compelled by Muslims to convert to Islam with deadly threats?

What is the future for Christian understudies when they are not given their right to schooling, snags are put in the method of Christians looking for work in a nation where there are numerous fanatic driven associations who won’t enlist Christians? The idea that a Christian might rise to their level or position is detestable to even educated, moderate Muslims.

In a nation where Christians are routinely subjected to acts of torture, harassment, and ridicule, such as being told that “Since you are Christian, you are not patriotic or cultured,” what opportunities do Christians have?In fact, you belong to the Americans, the British, or the GORA individuals who kill our Muslim brothers and sisters.

The most exceedingly terrible thing for Christian understudies is that when they apply to concentrate abroad.they are not conceded, regardless of their passing marks, since they need more cash to pay for themselves.

Where else in the world must Pakistani Christians look for a place to call home?We are not welcome in Muslim nations because we are Christians.We are Pakistanis for other nations, so we are also not welcome in non-Muslim nations.

Therefore we feel we need to start a christian free aducation school system for bright future of our nation in Pakistan .We opened free education school system on the 4th july 2022 at this name Flames of the Holy Spirit Ministry’s school system. When we start the school system the students was 35 and now students are 40. We bleive in GOD this school system will do work in all Pakistan. Some are Orphan and some are poor. Therefore we provide uniforms,books,school shoes,bags,notebooks and stationaries.

SO, please remember us in your prayers and Support us for this Goodwork.
Regard,
Rev.Indriyas Salamat
