China understood the problem after Japanese invaded China; the most of Chinese scholars came up with the question that why Japanese are victorious and we are losers. They visited different countries and also went through different scholarly findings from the west. Chinese scholars found that the people of China been treated as subjects of the state rather than citizens of China during the past centuries so they are not united. Due to disunity we are losers and Japanese and other western powers are victorious. They suggested that we should change the mind of our people by changing the trend of civic education. On the other hand Pakistan came into being in August14, 1947 when Brittishers left subcontinent. Brittishers used their own ways to teach Indian people and after they left Pakistan adopted that system of education with minor changes. These institutes are working under the commands of government. On the other hand Pakistan has another system of education “religious Madrassas” which do not work under the command of government. These two systems producing two types of citizens which is not good for the unity of citizens and it will lead to disunity and will damage economic growth of the country. For the continuation of economic growth it is necessary to have one system of education in Pakistan.
