FACTS OF EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN:

An education remains a promise unkempt to millions of illiterates in Pakistan. Below are given ten most alarming facts which indicate the worsening status of education development in Pakistan.

Over 50 percent of the country aged 15 and above are illiterate. Only 1 in 3 women can read and write.

Pakistan has one of the lowest education budgets in the world, spending just 2 percent of its national GDP on education in 2004.

For every 100 men, 57 women are illiterate giving Pakistan one of the highest gender disparities in the world.

In rural Balochistan province, only 7 percent of girls can read and write.

6.5 million children under 9 years old out of school in Pakistan, one of the highest numbers in the world, with many working.

In Pakistan a legal right to free education does not exist and compulsory education is only stated necessary from ages 5 to 9.

42 percent of all children shun the public school system to attend private schools and the numbers are not slowing down.

If it’s 1 out of 2 children that begin school, it’s likely another 1 in 2 drop out before they even complete it in Pakistan.

Recommendations:

Clear criteria for student admissions and examinations Codes of conduct

Clear codes of conduct for school staff are needed to ensure certain standards

Theft, misuse of funds and other illegal acts carried out by staff must be consistently dealt with by the courts to maintain respect for the rule of law

Conclusion:

All constraints in education system in Pakistan require sincere efforts to resolve administrative and management problems by the effectiveness of the government of Pakistan. Pakistan experiences a country of religious intolerance and much more multi-crisis land. War on terror since 2001; have revealed the administrative flaws in the administrative machinery of Pakistan. It is time that the current Government of Pakistan must tackle education problem because illiteracy is even threat to democracy.
