8. Problems in
Education

9. Education System is based on Unequal
Lines!
The educational system of Pakistan is based
on unequal lines. Medium of education is
different in both, public and private sector.
This creates a sort of disparity among
people, dividing them into two segments.

10. Regional Disparity!
Regional disparity is also a major cause. The
schools in Baluchistan (The Largest Province
Of Pakistan By Area) are not that much
groomed as that of Punjab (The Largest
Province Of Pakistan By Population). In FATA,
the literacy rate is deplorable constituting
29.5% in males and 3% in females.

11. Ratio of gender discrimination!
The ratio of gender discrimination is a cause
which is projecting the primary school ratio of
boys & girls which is 10:4 respectively. For the
last few years there has been an increase in the
growth of private schools. That not only harms
the quality of education but creates a gap.

12. Funds
The allocation of funds for education is
very low. It is only 1.5 to 2.0 percent of
the total GDP. It should be around 7% of
the total GDP

13. Untrained Teachers
The teachers in government schools are not
well trained. People who do not get job in
any other sector, they try their luck in
educational system. They are not
professionally trained teachers so they are
unable to train a nation.

14. Poverty
Poverty is also another factor that
restricts the parents to send their
children to public or private schools.
So, they prefer to send their children
to madrassas where education is
totally free
