SHOULD MEDICINE BE TAUGHT IN URDU?Abstract
There can be no two opinions on a simple assertion that education should be in one’s mother tongue. As such there should have been no necessity of a debate on whether our higher education including Medic /ne should be fri !Jrdu or not. Why then does this issue crop up every n o w an d th en? Firs t/y, a t pres en t the s ys tern o f higher edu ca tio n is in English, th e tea ch ers ha ye been train ed in English speaking c o Un tn es, the textbooks are in English and any big and fundamental change is opposed by the very magnitude of the undertaking.
Finally then should Medicine be taught in Urdu? The answer is a very definite “YES”. But for now we must ask a more immediately pertinent question “Can Medicine be taught in Urdu presently?”. To this the sad answer is “No”!
