The document compares and contrasts the education systems of Algeria and Pakistan. It outlines the structure of education in both countries, including pre-school, primary, secondary, and higher education. Some key differences are noted, such as Algeria using a fact-acquisition approach focused on lectures and memorization, while Pakistan emphasizes a three-tiered model. Literacy rates are higher in Algeria, at around 80%, compared to 55% in Pakistan. Both education systems face challenges, such as ineffective pedagogy, lack of teacher training, and inadequate funding in Pakistan.

Education provides the base for socio-economic development. An educational system of
poor quality may be one of the most important reasons why poor countries do not grow. In
Pakistan, the quality of education is on the decline. So there is need to give proper
attention to the formal and informal education for rising the literacy rate of Pakistan. The
education system of Algeria is distinguished from education system of Pakistan in many
ways and like Pakistan Algerian Government also faced Educational problems so there is
need to bring the reforms in the education system to reduce the illiteracy rate.
