Stressing the shortage of satisfactory science teachers, Zaki pointed out that there are 2000 high schools in Pakistan and only 300-400 qualified science teachers. There would be teachers with a BSC and a Bachelor of Education (BED) degree. The remaining teachers are unqualified. As mentioned Zaki has measured the science understanding of Pakistan teachers. He showed me sample questions used in the test. Part of his test was drawn from a U.S. survey; the rest he derived.

This result at first seemed surprising but it is a consequence of the fact that there has been some 15 years of formal religious indoctrination in the schools.
