School in PAKISTAN - when you're not from Pakistan

Schooling in Pakistan has been one of the many things I've had to adjust to and live with since moving from New Zealand. Soo here's a glimpse of the experience in a walkthrough of a standard day at my "Pakistani school" through my eyes.

hellohello since most people keep telling me i should’ve chosen another school lol I just wanted to add that the reason I ended up in Nixor was because I came here quite late and admissions were closed in most places so I was left w very few options to choose from- Nixor being one of them

[@zabashhd459]

yeaps u surely should have chosen some other school. :(

[@potatoestate2991]

Why are people complaining about her school and her attitude I don't find anything wrong about what she says. Look at how humble and nice she is and look at how she recognises those who can't have education and how grateful she is for whatever she has. She lived in NEW ZEALAND her whole life ,a country much developed than Pakistan so obviously it would be hard for her to settle in , you can't expect her to love and adopt everything easily and thennn CRITICISING her for that is very sTUpid she's a human and honestly I don't even find her complaining really 😃 and yesss ajhhhhhh I love your content I'm literally binge watching all your videos 😁💕💕😂😂

[@mahnamanjum4370]

Listen I get that her adjustment period is going to be harder and it might sting at times, but some of the issues I’m seeing is, in an earlier video she compared her parts of Pakistan knowing full well that Pakistan is a developing nation that has been through quite a few battle wounds with a developed westernized country it’s a very condescending way to lay a video out. In this video she referred to a traditional clothing worn by us as potato sacks and yes I do understand that school uniforms might not be to her as ideal or beautiful, the shalwar traditionally has been loose so going out of her way to state them as something less then is hurtful. While I understand that she might not mean to be hurtful or disrespectful, she is doing so and maybe she will see this and take it as constructive criticism. Here’s hoping for the best.😩

All I see in the comments is, “there are better schools in PK,” or “she is just defaming Pakistan.” I think what you guys are failing to understand is that, yes she and her family may have the money to send her to a better school but many kids don’t have the money to go to nice schools and just like she said 26 MILLION KIDS in Pakistan can’t even attend school. I understand that basically telling the whole world that, “many of the children in our country don’t get an education,” or showing them that, “some of our schools in Pakistan are like Nixor” may not be easy, but hiding the facts will not fix the problem. Pakistan is a fairly newer country therefore it is not as developed as many countries around the world. I do not expect it to be at the level of the US or New Zealand (even these countries have flaws that we still strive to fix. Prime example: the BLM protests that are happening in the US), however hiding from the bad in Pakistan will not help Pakistan grow. The video was not only about Nixor college, it was about the bigger picture. Think bigger than just Nixor. Look at the whole picture instead of one piece.

[@usamashahbaz99]

ok i don't agree with u because i also moved to Karachi after living my whole life abroad last year and i COULD not and i mean could not find a single decent school who taught anther curriculum other then the typical o levels (except KAS). it is not defaming Pakistan but overall the standards of education are very low here. Yes i understand many can't go to school or simply don't know the international standards but still for someone coming from abroad its VERY hard to adjust.

[@sidsid9808]

I get your point but her continuous rant is plain irritating. I am a professor in USA and went to govt schools way back when they used to be really good.

[@noorakhtar9744]

I was born and raised in the US so honestly I do not know much about Pakistani schools. I go to Pakistan once year for about one month and come back therefore I barely know what it’s like living there. My comment was to show what I took away from the video and no where did I sense a feeling of defaming through the video. Also many people are now commenting that there aren’t better schools in PK which just goes to prove her point. She just explained her side of the story and how she felt while trying to adjust to the new lifestyle. While doing so she also revealed the truth which many people are (for some reason) hurt by.

“Waiting for something new to happen“ is what has lead to our current situation, where we at as a nation, because it never happens. Our education is repetitive brain washing with different subjects. No way to discover or express your self or not even encouraged to do so. Then when you finally graduate and end up in a commercial setting/work you are forced to understand that every thing gora made is better. Because in the first place you were never encouraged to experiment, understand, think, try, study, envision or anything creative but made to copy everything and repeat.

I've heard about Nixor but never expected it to have such a nonfunctional campus design. They could've done better.

Not trying to be pretentious but the school I went to in lahore was like the one you showed in NZ. We had every facility available like a robotics club, a swimming pool, a soccer field, a basketball court, a volleyball court, a separate canteen and a theater. Even the Yale scout that came was shocked at how schools here are much bigger and better than public ones abroad. There are numerous schools like this in Lahore and I'm sure karachi. Tbh this is the first private school I've seen that looks like this. I'm sure this school is great and has a good education system which is what matters. I was just trying to change the perception that all schools are like this.

zarwa zara thé Karachi American School isn’t anything like or even close to the regular Pakistani school, no need to even try and compare it. Here are just a few things we have. Starting with the teaching styles .Anyway interactive teaching and and hands-on experiences are rare in Pakistan and in a repetitive teaching styles are the norm. The Karachi American School (KAS)” is totally different and competes with schools abroad and the teaching styles are relatively similar to schools in the US. It is an extremely private and highly secured school so you won’t be able to find too much information online. Air conditioner is equipped everywhere (classrooms and the cafeteria as well as the auditorium) the school is built on a 25- acre campus giving us two large libraries, a swimming pool, science labs, tennis courts and a football field. We also have a large playground with imported equipment for elementary. We have a large student lounge where you can buy unlimited amount of junk foods and then we also have an air conditioned cafeteria but there’s really no need for me to state the obvious because every place that has four walls and a roof is air conditioned my only complaint with that is it’s wayyy to cold at times and the teachers sometimes disregard us pleading to turn it off. Other wise we have more than enough space and relaxing time through our hours in school. Like there’s the annoying one ways and traffic control at your place theirs no such things here. There are properly constructed stairwells and more than one way access a classroom or bathroom etc. Like I saw everything is open roofed and poorly constructed surroundings KAS has been constructed thoughtfully to contain even billions of students.

This college is one of the top ones here and by this it just means that the admission processes that youve to go through to get in here and ofcourse the fees is just more than anyother . This being said , this college would definitely serve your career in a better manner than any other perhaps so cheer up a little despite all your problems. The infrastructure can definitely be not compared to anything that youve had experienced in Newzealand but here in pakistan there is always like a trade off between good education and good building and its just how it is. And also about the learning process that you mentioned , its sadly something thats been here for a long time and it wont take time for you to realize that its just all business with education in pakistan. Despite all of this , your college is what very less can aim or dream of going to here in pakistan and whatever youre getting here is just a privilege . Hope you adjust well . PS: to all telling you that this is a wrong choice are not thinking it straight , this is perhaps one of the best that you could get here if not for the architecture of the school and other small problems .

Im only a junior in highschool and 2. The future isnt rlly in my control anyway The most I can do right now is pray and search for alternative options but Allah might have other plans for me. I still have time tho so Inshallah i get into a good school 😊

[@mustafaashraf3744]

Literally this school look like a fish market 😂 There are literally many brilliant and bigger schools in Pakistan I think you choose wrong one

[@kaifsake]

Come to Wah Cantt near Islamabad, it has the least illiteracy percentage which means 99% people in Wah Cantt are educated and there is a school after every 5 min drive in this Cantt, that's why my family moved here and this is one of the best places to live in the country !!!

[@raemhasan5894]

The only thing i dont like abt nixor is how its tooo conjusted its got really narrow hallways small class rooms the person just feels like suffocating or trapped in a mass of people idk if you just get used to it or smthn but i study in cedar and feel like its just much more open and student friendly. Not saying its not crowded but is less cramped

[@sumairaahsan1]

Man I’m kinda thankful my school actually looks good I can’t even believe that that’s a privet school.Even though I live in Lahore (another city in Pakistan) my school seems a lot different then yours!

Gosh, didn't know Nixor was this bad. It used to be much better and 5 times less crowded in our times. Cheer up, it would be over sooner than you realise. Don't stay here for University though, or go to LUMS if you're here.

As someone who has lived in Lahore her whole life, I just found out about Nixor. AND IM NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH THE STAIRCASE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A HASSLE! You raised a very good point about the rigidity of the system and how it enforces itself on the student body. Unfortunately, it gets worse as you go to uni where submission to authority means everything.
