Education standards - how far can they jump?

Federal Education Minister talks on national television about Governments plans for establishing GCSC schooling system throughout Pakistan. Now thats a good plan, a great plan you'd say. With this target met Pakistan will under go a rapid change in the mainstream educational standard and the positive results are bound to be seen. Okay so the first thing that comes to my mind as Project planner in development is 'infrastructure'! Rapid and thorough change will be needed in infrastructure. The Government should start with more investment in hiring and training teachers, incorporating new syllabus {which may further include publishing new text books, refurbishing new and old school buildings, hiring new staff, maintenance  and OMG so much more}.
The list is long and the budget may surf out over brim, but I guess the plan is great and smell irresistible. Totally worth it. Withing exactly these were the things that came to my mind as a reaction to the ministers 'khushkhabri'.
It didn't however, take me any longer than that second to last when the minister continued, our target deadline is 2010.
"WHAT?" On 10th September 2009, the govt is now talking about a dream plan to be established within a year? In any circumstances its inapproachable. One year is an outlandish deadline to be set for such a humongous project. There are thousands of registered government schools that are currently inactive with millions of teachers who are on the payroll but never go to school. There are other thousand of schools that have teachers who never go inside classrooms and sit in the staffroom chattering over a 'chai papa'. The students of these school play in the corridors and open spaces as if they were football and cricket grounds. I have learnt all this on my field work while I was I interned at Zindagi Trust for a short while. Honestly only a few hundred schools operate properly with proposterously low standard of education.
If the government were plannign anything at all, they would first restructurise the system and infrastructure.. that include a lot of flowcharts, brainstorming and planning resources at first.
If they'd plan to establish GCSC system, it would at-least take a year only to put the entire project in documents. Let alone set it on wheels.
