Educational institutes are crucial to every society and I can not emphasize enough on the importance of how they shape the cultural norms, build ideologies and shape our society. These institutes have the power to disseminate knowledge, skillsets and cultural values to the next generation. The teachers share their experiences and wisdom with the new generation and learn new ideas from them. This invents the cycle of social change.

If the educational institutions are used to train our youth for a tax aware society, it can make a significant difference. The outreach to educational institutions for improving knowledge about tax can have a huge impact on shaping our economy as well. With limited funds and the economy plunged in debts; the only way to fight the deficient tax filing culture crisis is by solving the issue from the start. Tax education is the first step but to really hit the nail, Pakistani citizens need to take the problematic situation in their own hands by being more involved in the process. The most reasonable way is to file their taxes because these taxes go directly to the government which can be used to increase funds for investments for development of infrastructure, providing water sanitation, providing water, fighting poverty, bringing work to increase job employment for new graduates, health care, military expense, and many more.
