Starting from the schools, he says that he has reformed the
once dilapidated government school into a model that can be looked upon by the
government in order to revamp other schools and institutions as well. His
belief in promoting quality education and inculcating the need of reviving educational
awareness has lead to an increment in his fan following and has appealed a mass
audience.
Coming to Roy’s show Chal Parha, it is an effort to spread
the message all over Pakistan or in other words an initiative to portray that
picture of Pakistan which needs more Paint Brushes and colours to develop a
better Pakistan. But here come many opinions in which we observe support as
well as some hiccups in accepting the ideas outlined by Roy.
Some say that Shehzad has discouraged too much inclusion of
our Islamic Victors in our textbooks thinking that this leads to the outcome as
a terrorist. They are of the opinion that our Islamic History is needed to be
taught openly and comprehensively and this will not lead to becoming a
terrorist. Some people also disagree with the points he has presented to
improve the curriculum. Such as his one point says;
Remove discriminatory contents (based on Gender and
Religion) and tradition of presenting the twisted history in our books should
be end.
This one is conceived by some as an intention to secularize
our education system. Moreover, he has also demanded to eliminate the inclusion
of Islamic war heroes and historical Muslim personalities in chapters.
Shehzad Roy started this program with the purpose of
highlighting the following issues in public schools;
·
Corporal punishment
·
Medium of instruction
·
Population
·
Textbooks
·
Curriculum
·
Teachers etc
Undoubtedly he not only succeeded in throwing light upon
some important issues that needed to be looked after but also lead to the passage
of bills in implementing the requisites. Furthermore, his effort in voicing out
the wrongs and the act of bringing in limelight the issues that are ‘deserve to
be considered’ is commended by many people in Pakistan.

The disagreements and agreements with Shehzad Roy’s work
will carry on, and they carry on every time a voice is ousted for some purpose.
But the most important message that the state of Pakistan exhibits is that, we
all should stand and work uprightly with intention of seeing a better Pakistan
or utilize our career in a way that would contribute in the emergence of a developed
Pakistan.
