Banogay Nawab (Part I)

Education for the sake of education is our legacy, but we’re a colonised nation, remember? Today’s education is for the sake of money and capitalism. And we’re only getting deeper in the weeds as we listen to myriad Western voices on how to improve our education.All three of us have experience, in varying degrees, in the education sector. We’re either teachers or content creators. Oh, and we’ve written two series of textbooks together (English and Social Studies, grades 1 - 5), so we’re deeply familiar with the landscape of Pakistan’s education sector.As ever, this podcast is in Minglish. If you know Urdu, you’ll get the finer points, though we speak liberally, and sadly, in English too.The Urdu saying above roughly translates to “play will make you dull, education will make you a noble (a rich noble).” This is a public episode.
