Pakistan's education system is overseen by the Ministry of Education. It faces several challenges including unequal funding between provinces, gender discrimination that prevents girls' education, lack of technical education, insufficient funding, and poverty preventing school attendance. Literacy rates vary between provinces, from 43% in Balochistan to 61% in Punjab. Key policies aim to provide free education up to high school, improve teacher recruitment and training, expand vocational education, and identify barriers preventing children from attending school.

8. EDUCATION PROBLEMS IN
PAKISTAN
At present, the education sector is facing crisis
just like other major sectors of the country.
Following are the major problems in
education system of Pakistan:
• Firstly: The education system of Pakistan divided into
two different mediums one is English and other Urdu.
This sort of act creates desperateness among students.
• Secondly: A big problem is that there are no equal
funds distribution is available to the provinces as a
reason the schools in Baluchistan is not much
groomed as in Punjab. This prevail the ignorance in
the province where population is small but ignorance
is spreading like a flue.

9. • Thirdly: Gender discrimination is another problem the
reason why population is living in Khyber Pakhtun
Khaw and frontier not willing to send their girls to the
schools. They feel it is only boy’s activity to go to the
schools and girls are harm to so.
• Fourthly: Lack of technical education is another big
mistake in our education. These days’ parents want
their kids to learn that stuff which will create a lot of
money in future and this does not take so long to earn.
• Fifthly: Funds are not sufficient to meet the require
need of the education demands. At least adequate
funding should be available to the department to meet
necessary needs.
• Finally: Poverty is another factor that resists poor
children to come at schools it is also need to be
address by subsidizing fees in the government sector
schools.
