O level vs matric | O Level vs SSC | Sohail Balhi

Through my personal decision of switching from O Level to Matric after my first year in college and from observing other people's struggles, I pride myself in knowing all the cracks and fissures of both the education systems.
After reading an opinion piece in these pages a few weeks ago, where I student shared his views in favour of O Level and the Cambridge system of studies, I felt it imperative to share a few points for students to think about when choosing one of these as the suitable path for you.
ago, where one student shared his views in favour of O Level and the Cambridge system of studies, I felt it imperative to share a few points for students to think about when choosing one of these as the suitable path for themselves.
Be open-minded as you read them. Do not, in any way, think whatever I say is set in stone. You are a unique being and therefore function in a way different from others. What may work for me may not work for you and vice versa.
Know your endgame
I'm not going to ask you to have tunnel vision, because that is not at all realistic. But you must have at least some idea about the kind of future you desire. I have seen people who are on the verge of their career-defining years and still have no idea what they want to pursue, which leads them to being extremely stressed out or end up making a decision that turns out to be not the best one in their case.
Ask yourself which subject - whether it may be school-related or not - fascinates you the most and take a cue from there.
If you intend to study medicine in Pakistan, go for Matric because the biology taught in both the systems is almost the same. You'll finish up quicker than you would while doing O Level. This can be helpful in the future, as the medical field requires more years of study than other fields.
For math-related fields, go for O Level as the math taught in O Level is a lot more challenging, and thus useful in higher studies.
For languages, both systems are good enough. As long as you're reading something on a daily basis, you're on the safe side. That is why many parents do not want their kids to pursue anything in arts and literature, because they know that the minute the child loses even a little bit of motivation, they might not do so well and so the sciences become a more stable option.
The matter of finances
One thing adults drill into children's mind is that they must not stress about finances because their only job is to study. And to some extent, they're right.
But you should care about the finances. However, do not prioritise money so much over your education that you end up paying no attention to your studies because you were too busy counting the figures.
Matric is very affordable. And in today's economy, it's a smarter choice too. The cost of O Level books alone can pay for your whole two years of Matric education.
If you do go into O Level, then save up some money by getting second-hand books or borrowing them. That alone saves a huge chunk of cash.
As for your monthly school tuition, my only advice is to work hard to get a merit scholarship or apply for a need-based scholarship.
You will get awarded some amount of scholarship which, from my personal experience, wasn't a lot but it was enough to not burden my parents too much. But of course, your CAIE fees have to be paid in full.
Higher studies
A small summary of both: Inter, in government-owned colleges, is very economical if you compare it to A Level college fees. Furthermore, study-wise, the course in Intermediate is a slight increase in terms of difficulty level as compared to both O level and Matric syllabus, while A Level students are taught things that many here study at the university level.
