Shehzad Roy Highlights Education Pressures in New Song ‘Late Ho Gaye’

On World Education Day, Pakistani singer Shehzad Roy released his latest song, ‘Late Ho Gaye’, featuring students from his Zindagi Trust schools. The catchy track playfully questions whether Pakistan’s education system truly nurtures children or quietly overwhelms them with endless expectations.

Early Pressures on Children

The song immediately tackles the intense pressures young students face. From elite school admission deadlines to parents presenting toddlers for interviews, the track points out how early the stress begins. Through clever satire and engaging storytelling, Roy highlights the emotional toll of tuition culture, where children often have little room to rest or explore their natural curiosity. A young girl in the video sweetly pleads for a moment to “simply exist,” emphasizing the need for balance in education.

A Call for Joyful Learning

The video vividly captures children moving directly from school to evening academic drills without a pause. Shehzad Roy uses this imagery to underline how discipline often overshadows empathy in learning. He encourages families to treat education as a journey of growth rather than a race against the clock. His message is clear: learning should be joyful, not exhausting.
