My thoughts regarding the city of education. JAMSHORO: THE CITY OF EDUCATION Yesterday, a work colleague and I were discussing the state of universities in Jamshoro. He studied at the same institution as I did, making it easy for him to relate to the topic. Our discussion centered around the caption often associated with Jamshoro, which reads "THE CITY OF EDUCATION." On paper, this designation appears legitimate since the name arose due to the presence of several major universities in that small area. These institutions include Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, the University of Sindh, and Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences. Having three major universities in such a small town, especially in the early 1970s and 1980s, is indeed a significant achievement. These universities were expected to reach the heights for which they were established, given their enormous potential. However, looking at their current state, it is evident how far they have declined. The University of Sindh is a prime example. Many people from Gilgit have attended this institution, receiving an education that allowed them to settle well in their lives. But now, the things I hear about the university are shocking. There is widespread grouping, political influence, student unions, and countless other divisions within the institution. These issues severely impact daily activities, leading to canceled exams and faculty assaults, among other problems. The city, once renowned for its educational excellence, has been corrupted by politics. Similar stories can be heard about Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, though I am less familiar with Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences. When comparing the situation in Sindh to that in Punjab, we observe a steep decline in the quality of education offered in Sindh, along with a lack of co-curricular activities. It is perplexing that Punjab, despite being part of the same country, is far ahead in terms of education. The issue is not that students lack potential, but rather that the system is so deeply flawed that individuals with potential feel compelled to leave the country altogether. A university should be a place where students are groomed and prepared to face life's realities. It is not just about education; it is also about character development. However, the current state of affairs makes me wonder how far we have fallen, and I have concluded that this situation may never change
