Not much needs to be said about this picture, except translating what is written on this poster (plastered over a rotting electrical box outside what seems to be a jewelery shop):
In 60 days only, complete your education from Nursery to F.Sc.
What more can I say. Sign me up!
Indeed, Pakistan needs more education. And fast!
Reminds me of that famous joke: “Beta, B.A. karr liya hai, abb matric bhi karr he lo!”
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
This is how I completed my graduation.

Yes, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
And if our prime minister would recite this 50 times a day on a rosery, it would help him to correct his pronunciation and his speech would be much clearer in the next session of the parliment.
Some more comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “Very nice. The sad part is that there are idiots who will believe this and pay these people good money to find this shortcut.”
– “hmmmm…. Its just a trick to get money from Illiterate pplz, n am sure they may have lot of students..”
– “ye kya hay…education ya mazaq…kya ye saari kitabon par haath phirwa kar aalim faazil bana dain gay ye log. Khuda hi rehm karay aise logon par aur baqyon ko aqal day.Ameen”
– “fast track or fool track
shayad ye spelling mistake ho gi …..
wese jo shaks 12 saal me FSc na kar paya ho wo 60 days
its realy joke……..”
– “pakistan hay bhayee
na thaggne wale kam hien na bewaqoof jo thaggay jaate hien :d it;s normal it;s just one thing there are a lot of other things ..”
Eidee Man and others , yes they may have wanted to convey what you say, but if an educational institution can’t even get that sentence right, should we really trust education to them!
great find
My Urdu is not great, but when I first read it, I interpreted it as the school offering instruction for students at all levels, as opposed to taking students with no prior education through F.Sc. within 60 days.
Does this not sound more reasonable?
@Eraj
For somethings there are no shortcuts. education is one of them. the person might pass FSc. according to the stupid exam system that we currently have in our country but you can not call that person “Educated”. He will still be a “Perha likha jahil” of sorts.
