By all accounts, Pakistan is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.  There is little intellectual disagreement that this growth may become highly limited unless the traditionalism of complacency in education is visited with a progressive attitude.  Bustling with glory, Pakistan’s history is testament to the fact that this region has had major contributions in architecture, arts, mathematics, agriculture and now, even technology.  It is not possible to sustain current growth, much less meet the potential of talent without a clear cut plan to continue to develop. 

As one of the largest countries in the world with an immense geopolitical standing, Pakistan’s level of education currently is nothing to boast about.  It would not be remiss to state that if there is one aspect of society that hasn’t kept pace with potential, it is proper education.  In this dearth, many institutions have begun to sprawl with various curricula that suffice their missions’ statements.   However, the need to bring disparate objectives is great.  It is a must to enhance social responsibility, tolerance, progressiveness, competition, independent thought, critical thinking all the while preserving national and religious values.  It is with this background in mind that Syed Foundation finds enthusiasm to contribute to the growth of society.
