Science and technology  development in Pakistan

An interesting paper covers the 53-year period of the development of Pakistan’s science and technological infrastructure. It involves policy concerns, analysis studies and some notable individuals who have been actively involved since independence in the establishment of different S&T organisations. The paper also reviews the growth of S&T manpower and a variety of institutions where hi these regions, priority areas of national growth and major R&D organisations are protected. There is also a discussion of the programmes of these organisations and their accomplishments.

It also reviews the role of R&D organisations in Pakistan’s industrialisation and the policies pursued. The article also provides a brief account of the popularisation of science programmes and the involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the media in the promotion of science and technology initiatives in Pakistan.

Pakistani Women in Science and Technology

Equal participation of men and women in scientific research drives innovation and strengthens the economy. It is believed that diversity in science can bring together people with unique backgrounds. There is a significant role of science in society, for peace and development and the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues is the need of the hour. The need is to promote research partnerships with equitable gender representation and underline the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives.

Gender equality and parity in science is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Keeping women away from the revolutionary scientific fields of 21st century will greatly hamper the development at global level. It is believed that untapped potential of women in areas such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) may weaken the innovation potential of a society.

Pakistan is a developing country that is striving to accelerate its economic growth and catch up with the pace of the fast growing economies of the region. Women are about 48.5 % of Pakistan’s total population. Despite constituting almost half of the population, women are an underutilized talent. Women have remained somewhat under-represented in most disciplines of science and technology, and furthermore, are not well-represented at the most senior levels in all disciplines. The job options for women remain limited to agriculture, services (domestic) and small-scale industries.

For achieving national development it is an economic necessity to utilize their talents to the full at all levels of scientific and technological education, training and employment. The low socio-economic status of women in Pakistan is beginning to be recognized as a potentially significant drag on the country’s growth.

No doubt, women are growing in numbers in the traditional male professions such as engineering, law, medicine, business, the police and the military. Women's ranks have also grown in the nation's entertainment, news and mass media and they are much freer than ever to express themselves in the choice of appearance, speech, clothing, arts, entertainment etc. A number of women have moved up into the executive positions. Women now make up 4.6% of board members of Pakistani companies

According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2015, 37% of female researchers belong to the medical sciences, 33.8% of female researchers in Pakistan belong to natural sciences, 15.4% belong to engineering and technology, 11% belong to the agricultural sciences while 39.9% belong to the social sciences and humanities. According to the Pakistan Education Statistics, 2015-16 by AEPAM, the Gross Enrollment Ratio of females in primary and secondary education has increased from the previous years

According to PCST R&D Surveys 2013-14, the number of female researchers (headcount) by field of science and sector of employment has increased from the previous years. Similarly, according to Higher Education Commission Annual Report 2013-14, the enrolment of females in Universities is on the rise.

Realizing the widening gender gap and the obscured status of women in socio-economic development, especially focusing on the gender dimension of science and technology, Pakistan Council for Science & Technology (PCST) has taken a lead to foster women in scientific community and to improve visibility of women scientists by maintaining a website and starting a project on collecting data on statistics of women representation in science and technology

The data and materials provided here relate to Gender Education, Women Empolyment, Women in Science, Women in Health and Women Empowerment. The data would hopefully serve as a reference material for the scientific community and for the professionals working in the field of women’s empowerment, as well.

science and technology in pakistan essay

Science and technology are the key drivers in the acceleration of development in a society. Science and technology directly alter the living standards of the people, and the way they connect and communicate with each other. Technological improvements provide a root to the advancement of economic development, health system and infrastructure. The development of science and technology in developing countries plays a crucial role in the reform of poverty level, and technological advancement can be considered as an engine of growth. Technology is a better weapon to tackle the poverty level with and enhance the economic growth of a developing country. Modernisation of any society is a manifestation of the implementation of science and technology by those nations. The modernisation is solely dependent upon the development in science and technology. The categorisation of the countries is based upon economic development, which, in turn, is dependent upon the application and importance of science and technology among the public of that nation. Modernisation turns villages into towns and towns into cities.

Countries like South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia were considered as countries with poor policies and low discipline with no advancement, but today they have created ripples across the globe in the field of research and exploration. Where does Pakistan stand in the field of research and exploration? We need to look at our policies and where we are heading in the fields of science and technology.

Our curriculum and ways of teaching focus upon the reproduction of bookish knowledge without its resonance to the utilisation need of the country. Books written by international authors can give advanced knowledge and understanding but cannot explain the needs of a country, and an individual’s own frame of reference within the norms and mores of society and cultural needs. Presenting the subject fundamentals without stimulation has no fruitful consequences.

Focusing upon quantity of publication without looking at its quality is also a problem in the analysis of research skills of a person. At least one quality paper should be kept mandatory for every faculty member in order to keep him or her in touch with research and new ongoing projects in every field.

The involvement of university teaching academia in the research is another hindrance to the growth of science and technology. In some universities heads of departments feel threatened by the qualifications of some subordinate or colleague publishing a high quality paper. The extra burden and excessive workload restrict the involvement of faculty personnel in research even with good basic knowledge and command over a subject. The modest communication and attitude of weak collaboration also need reforms.

The updated and quality research demands us to invite scientists and scholars, and arrange conferences, seminars and workshops on important topics. Developed countries keep special funds for the training of their academia. All these activities require significant funding and resources, and government should provide some of these resources.

A notable number of research scholars are coming back to the homeland after the completion of their degrees. Practical steps are needed to facilitate these scholars and keep them involved in the latest developments in the field of research. Regular meetings and get-togethers of these scholars on local and national levels will be a source of ‘brain storming’ that will be beneficial for them, for institutes and for the whole nation.

Some organisations like the Buraq Planetary Society, Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, Pakistan Science Club and Khwarizmi Science Society have been established without any government support in order to involve students in creative activities. But all these are at a fundamental level that needs to be overhauled to the advanced level by a systematic involvement of one or the other governmental funding agencies.

Mainly, Pakistan’s areas of research in science and technology revolve around nuclear weapons, ballistic technology, anti-aircraft guns and other defence related scientific knowledge. It is now the demand of the time to minimise the martial approach towards the use of science and technology, and put most of the efforts in the socio-economic development and promotion of peace.

It is the need of the time to equip our youth with the latest facilities for their research and to motivate our youth towards science and technology, as they are the future of the nation and they are the ones who can lead the nation. The exposure of students to ongoing problems of society can attract some of them towards a search to find a solution of the problems. As the wise saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Extensive English Essay and Precis Course for CSS & PMS Aspirants

Man has always strived for the best and looked for prosperity. From the descendants of Adam from heaven till today, human beings have constantly been struggling to improve their lives. Ostensibly, in the modern world, economic prosperity has become the benchmark of progress and the well-being of humanity. To achieve this, humankind has rested its trust on the shoulders of science and technology. Therefore, economic prosperity and advancement in science and technology of a country always go hand in hand.  For instance, America, the world’s largest economy, is a shining star in the comity of nations due to its impeccable technical and scientific advancement .   America’s supremacy in the world is enough to comprehend the importance of technological advancement globally, as scientific apotheosis brings agriculture and the industrial revolution to a country, helping it reach its economic zenith. Moreover, the production of goods can be increased, and better-quality items can be ensured for exports. However, technological and scientific lag can result in a country’s economic deterioration in this eco-scientific world. Orthodox and archaic societies can never achieve prosperity in this world. Hence, to attain economic sustainability, a country must attain technical apex, or it would always yearn for others’ help. This essay sheds light on how progress in science and technology would lead a country towards economic prosperity and how primordial methods would weaken it economically. 

To begin with, it is pivotal to understand the meaning of economic prosperity. Economic prosperity means the growth of economic indicators, such as an increase in Gross Domestic Product and per capita income, and the conservation of natural resources for our descendants. Resources must be saved from depletion for sustainable future growth because economic growth would halt without proper resource availability. As a result, social indicators of society drop drastically, and the world becomes a living hell. Therefore, achieving economic prosperity is necessary for a bright future, and it can be done only with the help of advancement in science and technology.  

Discussing the role of science and technology in achieving economic prosperity is inevitable. First, progress in agriculture due to using modern equipment has been a fact. The agriculture sector contributes heavily to realising economic prosperity in a country.  A glaring example in this regard is China and India. China and India, with advanced technology, increase their per-acre yield, contributing billions of dollars to their economy.  Moreover, China exports agriculture equipment worldwide, another feather in its cap. It also increases food availability for the population; eventually, the evolution of scientific methods uplifts social indicators of society. Hence, progress in agriculture can safeguard a country’s economic prosperity. 

In addition to advancement in the agriculture sector, development in science and technology enhances the production of better-quality goods. The technology guarantees the standardization of items and maintains a specific quality throughout the production cycle. Consequently, the demand for an advanced country’s goods increases drastically compared to a country using obsolete methods. For instance,  China has become one of the world’s export leaders due to the large-scale production of quality goods, which amounts to $295.5 billion in 2022.  Furthermore, China has also become an economic superpower due to its huge share of exports in the international market, which aids in the growth of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, the example of China is enough to understand the essentiality of modern technology in achieving economic prosperity.

Besides producing quality goods, science and technology also help implement e-governance in a state, eradicating corruption and red-tapism from society. Extermination of evils, like corruption and red-tapism, would certainly boost a country’s economy, and at the same time, it improves social indicators of society as well. In this regard, a lesson can be learned from Scandinavian countries, as Norway and Finland shift their sectors to e-governance, reducing corruption by up to 70%, a positive sign for the countries economies. Therefore, the expansion of technology in governance can prosper a country economically and socially, and the country would have a brighter future than an archaic society.

Having discussed the importance of science and technology in implementing e-governance models in a country, technical improvement also helps formalize the economy’s informal sector. The creation of enterprises due to technological advancement would reduce the informal sector. Moreover, they provide employment opportunities to the locals and move from informal to formal earnings, helping formalize the economy. Furthermore, new ventures are more likely to follow big financial companies, so they must work formally. Hence, innovation in society helps a society turn the informal sector into a formal one; thus, it helps achieve sustainable economic growth.

In addition to the formalization of the economy, technical progress in the education sector nurtures better human resources in a country for the future. The youth of a country with an advanced education system has more skills and knowledge than a country with a conventional education system. Therefore, people have more innovative ideas, resulting in entrepreneurship, employment opportunities, and additional remittance services. All these factors chiefly contribute to the economy of a country. For example,  India’s economy largely depends upon remittances, which contribute $89.2 billion to the country’s economy, and it is because of its information technology sector . Hence, technological advancement in the education system has become inevitable to achieve economic sustainability.

Moreover, it is important to discuss the role of technical enhancement in the energy sector. In this modern era, energy has become a driving force for the progress of a country in every field, and non-renewable resources are constantly depleting. Apparently, the only resource of humanity is renewable energy sources, and to use them, highly advanced expertise in technology is necessary. Furthermore, renewable energy sources ensure economic uplift by lessening oil imports. In this case, a peculiar example is  Denmark produces 67% of its energy from renewable energy sources and saves billions of dollars.  Therefore, in this era of industrialization, the conservation of energy resources is vital for economic prosperity, and technological advancement can help a country use their resources efficiently.

Last, progress in science and technology enables society to think innovatively. Therefore, a technologically advanced society has high social indicators, such as better health, education, and justice systems. Moreover, people have high per capita income as compared to medieval society. For instance , Silicon Valley in the United States of America has one of the world’s largest per capita incomes, approximately $ 138,000 per year , because the area has bypassed even countries in techno-scientific advancement. Furthermore, with the possible attainability of economic sustainability, crimes in the country also decrease, leading to a peaceful environment. Hence, science and technology elevate social indicators of society, and people become more prosperous.

Having elaborated on the role of science and technology in the attainability of economic prosperity, it is imperative to mention some countries that, with the help of scientific progress, are progressing towards economic sustainability. In this regard,  discussing the United States of America is a must.  America has been a superpower owing to progress in science and technology. Apparently, all the large enterprises and technical brands come from the country. Moreover, all the major advancement in information technology has their roots in America, which is why America is leading the whole world. It has the world’s largest economy, the strongest military, and one of the highest per capita incomes. All this progress is due to its innovative and technical society. Technological advancement has proven to be a jugular vein for economic prosperity.

Besides the United States of America, Japan and China have been glaring examples of moving towards economic prosperity through techno-scientific progress. In the recent era, Japan has become the hub of all electronic and automobile companies due to its growth in technology . As a result, it has become the third largest economy in the world, with a share of $4.3 trillion in the world’s GDP.  Similarly, China has emerged as another economic superpower in the last two decades due to its highly advanced mass production methods while maintaining the quality of its products. As a result, almost all the products nowadays are made in China.  Consequently, it has become the world’s second-biggest economy, contributing $18.3 trillion to its GDP . Hence, it shows how much the most prosperous countries economically have used technology.  

On the one hand, advancement in science and technology makes a country progress by leaps and bounds, and on the other hand, lag in technology makes a country falls into the pit of darkness.  An illuminating example of this fact is Pakistan , which due to its medieval technical system, lags behind in every field of life. Due to the non-existence of innovation in the country, the country has to import all the goods; consequently, it has been myriad of debt. Moreover, despite the absence of the latest agricultural equipment and techniques, the country is importing everything from other countries despite being blessed with one the most fertile land in the world. This is all due to backwardness in the field of science and technology. Hence, Pakistan must overhaul its education, science, and agriculture sector to make the country economically sustainable.

Lastly,  another country in shambles due to a lag in scientific advancement is Senegal -a west-African country. The country is in a ditch of social evils, such as corruption and red-tapism, due to the non-availability of technical expertise required to apply e-governance models. As a result, corruption and unemployment are rampant in the country, and the future economic indicators of Senegal do not look very lively. Therefore, to dig the country out of social and economic chaos, the government must promote innovative ideas at the grass root level and nurture human resources for expertise in science and technology.

Critically , the role of the advancement of science and technology in economic prosperity is second to one. Every country in this globalized world can only progress with an innovative technology system. Moreover, science and technology have also been critical in uplifting the social indicators of society; consequently, it elevates the economic profile of a country. However, a technological lag can result in economic disparity for a country. Therefore, promoting innovation and technology in society is necessary for the economic sustainability of a country.

In conclusion , advancement in science and technology is critical for economic sustainability in this era. It brings a revolution in the agriculture, energy, and industrial sector. Moreover, it is also pivotal for better governance in a country. E-governance ensures a corruption-free society and paves the way for economic prosperity. It also plays its part in formalizing the economy and making innovation possible through technological progress. Countries like America, Japan, and China are the shining stars in this regard. However, the lag of technology can make a country fall into a pit of social and economic darkness. Therefore, techno-scientific advancement is the gateway to the economic prosperity of a country.

Latest Science Literary NAP Report

-Students’ motivation and meaningful learning in primary science and technology According to Brady (2008), young children usually show an innate attraction towards science and technology. As teachers, we should take advantage of that innate attitude and develop age-appropriate experiences in order to make science come alive in unique and meaningful ways for children. However, the latest science literary NAP report conducted by the NSW Education Standards Authority (2015) reflects that even though most students show interest in learning new aspects of science, many of them do not relate science to their daily lives. In other words, they are not able to assess information accurately when making decisions in the real word.

My love of science, having already been sparked the year before, had led me to enter the science classroom ready to learn as much as I could. What I didn't know at that time was that this class would have such a huge impact on how I looked at the world.

Bill Nye Research Paper

Bill Nye was at his crazy antics again, this time clinging to a beam in a wind tunnel with his limbs flailing around as he explained the concept of air friction. As an elementary schooler, I didn’t always understand the scientific terms Bill was raving about, but I giggled at his bizarre behavior anyway. I often tried replicating his experiments, such as comparing the density of household liquids and growing rock candy, but I wanted to use the instruments and chemicals the professionals used. I wanted to be a real scientist. Never in my primitive years would I have imagined that I would be synthesizing aspirin and oxidizing benzaldehyde in high school.

Early Childhood Intervention

Many Play Therapy sessions involve the use of toys, puppets, games, and role plays to help the child indentify and communicate about what has happened. It helps the child to recognise how they feel about certain experiences in their lives. In many situations a child will use a puppet to talk about things when they feel they cannot speak to anyone else. Through a combination of talk and play, play therapy encourages the child to better understand and manage their feelings and behaviours. One form of therapy used in conjunction with play therapy is sand play therapy.

Importance Of Curriculum Models

These contrasting methodologies are cleverly illustrated by Stenhouse when he equates the Product Model as a “workshop” as a result of its highly structured, disciplined and industrial nature, while on the other hand, he sees the Process Model in the classroom, as a “laboratory” closer “to the world of experimentation” (Stenhouse 1975, p142). This method therefore, instils a culture of inquiry. Students are encouraged to experimentally test, question and evaluate subject matter as a means to discovering “meaning in it for himself or herself’ (Ornstein and Hunkins, 2004, p209). On the surface this approach appears to be very much supported in terms of current educational discourse and through my experience at lectures it has certainly been the approach that commands most support. However, I have noted a number of difficulties associated with this approach.
