The ideological foundation behind the initiation of Ehya has been derived from the teachings of eminent Muslim thinkers such as Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a great visionary, literary prodigy and philosopher of the 20th century; Dr. Muhammad Rafi ud Din, an eminent scholar who believed that the social theories of west are challenging the very foundations of our religion; and the likes of Hasan Aska
ri, Saleem Ahmad and Ahmed Javed, among others. We look inwards for inspiration – and we don’t have to look very far because we have a rich intellectual heritage to draw upon. All our efforts are directed to:
• Create a mechanism to assist and facilitate students, teachers, authors, educationists, parents, etc.
• Fill in the existing education-centric gaps by providing an equal set of prospects to help students in finding their purpose of life. The abject failure of our education sector to achieve its individual and collective goals to reform, nourish and serve the community. Unfortunately, our education sector has failed to achieve its individual & collective goals to reform, nourish and serve the community. The current education system has not only failed to produce individuals who have the potential to change the course of history but also failed in addressing the shortcomings and challenges faced in the current times. This dismal state of affairs casts a shadow over the future of not only the youngsters but also the whole society. Most of our students, even graduates, lack proficiency in languages. They neither use nor understand idiomatic Urdu or English. Our youth lack the skillset to comprehend and grasp the ideologies of the greatest thinkers; can it be imagined that the majority of them ploughing through the works of the great scholars mentioned above? The current system perpetuates the existing social and intellectual inequalities and cultural alienation; students hailing from the International Cambridge system hold expertise in reading and writing skills in English but lack understanding of their own language, culture and civilization. Likewise, the products of public education lack an understanding of English and world cultures. Undue focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and ignoring humanities deviates us from being an enriched society. Ehya Education Services (EES) understands that the need of the hour is to play a positive part in addressing the core education issues at hand, and this is only possible by facing these challenges upfront with meaningful discourse and action.
