Women's education in Pakistan faces significant gender discrepancies. According to the UN, approximately twice as many males as females receive secondary education in Pakistan due to very low literacy rates for women and girls. A survey conducted in various Pakistani cities and rural areas found the highest responses for women's education in Karachi, while rural areas like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had few or no responses. The conclusion is that statistics show Pakistan's education system can be described as having extensive gender inequalities, with girls facing socio-cultural barriers to acquiring education, which impacts rural poverty reduction efforts.
