Education is meant to train the mind to think, not just deliver knowledge from teachers to students. Poverty occurs when basic needs are unmet or when living standards fall below what is deemed minimum for a given area. Pakistan faces issues of increasing poverty due to factors like natural disasters, crime, illiteracy and lack of quality education. Over 40% of Pakistanis live below the poverty line. Causes of poverty include changing economies, lack of education, overpopulation, social issues, mismanagement, and limited resources. Solutions include eliminating unemployment through technical education, promoting savings, improving agriculture, and empowering women.
