The students belong to Muslim community (a majority community) dislike to mix-up with them.

They
consider them inferior even calls them sweepers so in spite of their intelligence and laborious nature
leave the school. It is very necessary to more and more Christian primary schools should be set up in
backward areas

Economic unstability is a major cause of conversion here. The poverty stricken masses are leading a
miserable and deplorable life they can never think of the comforts, aments and facilities.
Unemployment in Christians is very high. Majority of the Christians masses is illiterate, and even
qualified and skilled people do not get a job. Nearly 75% Christians live in rural areas, they work in fields
from dawn to dusk and then it is very difficult for them to make both ends meet. Their families also
work with them, some work in the houses of landlords. Sometimes these women face sexual violence.

A big majority of the young Christians is skill handed, the work for the surgical instruments, leather
garments and sports goods. Their work is very hard but the factory owner pays them according to the
labour, as a result they always live in hot soap. Their ill babies dies before their eyes due to unavailability
of medicine, sometime their wives die because the non availability of qualified doctor or nurse at the
time of delivery. Christian students in Pakistan are victims of violence and discrimination. Minorities
concern of Pakistan denounces a climate of intolerance and exclusion in the classroom. Most of the
violations take place in government run

institutions and it committed by both classmates and by teachers. The system to protect minorities is
fragile and fails to safeguard their rights. The government has never wanted to start a serious reform of
school curricula.
