Negotiating Learner Differences MOOC’s Updates

Demographic grouping in education in Pakistan

Education is structuring the socio-psychological, thematic, and ethical values of people and groups in a way that enables them to acquire a comprehensive understanding of life. However, education in Pakistan does not get the emphasis it deserves in National Development Plans. There may be several explanations for this sort of indifference, but it seems that education has failed to educate the populace to modify the teaching-learning process in accordance with societal demands. Without a doubt, educational planners and administrators have not given the "Demographic Factors," such as gender problems, urban/rural, family size, and poverty, the attention they need. The disadvantage of living in a hamlet is also transferred to the students, since they are not taught in an atmosphere with equivalent amenities. Without the required laboratory facilities, science students could not conduct experiments. They cannot also endure the precise assessment technique.

The demographic factors are crucial to the overall success of the learner. For example, the mental level of parents contributes significantly to the success of pupils. Even at the secondary level, the socioeconomic standing of the kids in the society influences their performance. These youngsters are allowed to make their own decisions. In the absence of parental participation, the teacher's contribution is equally weak and mundane. The continuous research of demographic determinants is of great significance since it makes it clear that the personal worth and expertise of secondary school instructors are extraordinarily powerful in developing qualitative techniques.
