The Miseducation of Pakistan (30 mins)
Pakistan, 2005, directed by Syed Ali Nasir
Schools with no teachers, no buildings, no drinking water, no electricity, and overflowing with garbage – this is what so many students of public schools in Pakistan can look forward to. Little wonder that a vast majority of the country’s primary-school graduates are not even considered literate by international standards. All the while, a corrupt hierarchy of officials and school staff line their pockets with funds meant for the children’s education – and no one is held accountable. This is the story of a generation lost, and of a country where basic education remains a distant dream for millions.
