Education in Pakistan suffers from a chronic lack of spending in the education sector. However, the
more alarming issue is the inefficient use of allocated funds with high proportions remaining unspent
and those that are spent contributing little to good quality education. With the recent devolution of
education from a federal to a provincial subject, it remains to be seen how the provinces tackle the
problems of the education sector.
While these public sector problems fester, there remain 5.1 million Pakistani children of primary
school age who are out of school. This is the second highest in the world and is over twice as many
as in India. Of the poorest 20%, a tragic 2 in 3 girls do not go to school; one of the worst gender
inequalities in the world.
