The Eqbal Ahmad Centre for Public Education (EACPE) seeks to foster the use of science and reason to understand nature and society and so better enable all citizens of Pakistan to participate fully in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of their society; to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities; to value human rights, democracy and the rule of law; to promote cultural and religious diversity; to raise awareness of global issues and the natural environment; and to advance the goals of international peace and justice.
EACPE is named to honour the life and work of distinguished Pakistani academic, activist, and public intellectual, Dr. Eqbal Ahmad.
“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”

All Mother languagrs are equally capable.
Teach in mother tongue only National Language
i dont think language is our problem at all. teach in any language u like ..the actual change is needed in the mindset . to progress we need to induce rational thinking and evidence based reasoning in our culture. our language represents our culture . and it lacks these things. introduce rationality into the culture and i think thers no reason we cant fill our literature with real science and knowledge in no time.
on the other hand even if our children use english as a primary medium , and the culture stays the same . there will be no significant difference . english speaking idiot is no different than urdu speaking idiot .
