ISLAMABAD: Pakistan currently has the largest percentage of young people ever recorded in its history, according to the new National Human Development Report launched by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Pakistan. The report says 64pc of the total population is below the age of 30 while 29pc is between the ages of 15 and 29 years. This roughly means 61,000,000 youth Out of this number females make up 52% or 31,720,000. According to the census urban population is roughly 30% that makes to 9,516,000. Since, female students strive hard and get good grades in 12th-grade education which is the entry point for professional education especially, in medicine and engineering and eventually, get admission and complete four-year education. But, unfortunately, significant number do not enter into the professional arena (Corporate Sector). Thus, they waste public money and a seat. Critically examine the situation and submit a report to the federal minister of education and suggest that there should be a gender-based quota instead of open merit for admissions to public sector (Government) professional universities and colleges. You may use imaginary details. Your recommendations shall be in ‘the standard form of argument’. Female students may use their stance to keep the open merit irrespective of gender.

I have analyzed the data of our Country's recent census, according to the census the youth population in our country is about 64 percent out of which 52 percent are females, very unfortunately in our country most of the families does not encourage female education and most are asked to stay home after their 10th or 12th grade. It is the basic right of a human to get educated even Islam allows education for women, the mindset of the people needs to be changed because the women secure more marks in a exam than men, which clearly says that women are more intelligent.

The seats available in a professional education is very limited and mostly male students are forced to change their field and get an education where the seats are not limited or the grades are not important because of their low grades in the 12th standard. The females having good grades reserve their seats in the University but unfortunately after a few months they leave the University and thus the seat goes waste.

Female students upon admission in a University should be asked to sign a bond which states that they will continue their study or if they leave they will have to pay a heavy amount, but this will also discourage women in entering the professional education.

A solution for this cause is really needed for the Country.
