Report on Illiteracy in Pakistan

Introduction
This report discusses the problem of illiteracy in Pakistan, its causes, effects, and possible solutions.
The information was gathered through surveys and government data sources.

Current Situation
Pakistan’s literacy rate remains around 60%, which is low compared to global standards. Millions of
children, especially in rural areas, still do not attend school. Female literacy is significantly lower than
male literacy in many regions.

Causes of Illiteracy
1. Poverty: Many families cannot afford to send their children to school and prefer them to work
instead.
2. Lack of Access: In remote and underdeveloped areas, schools are either far away or poorly equipped.
3. Gender Discrimination: Cultural and societal barriers prevent girls from receiving education in some
parts of the country.
4. Low Government Investment: Education is not given priority in national planning, leading to a lack
of funding, poor infrastructure, and untrained teachers.

Consequences
Illiteracy leads to unemployment, poverty, poor health awareness, and slow national progress. It also
increases the risk of extremism and weakens democratic participation.

Conclusion
Illiteracy is a major hurdle in Pakistan’s development. Without an educated population, no country can
prosper economically or socially.

Recommendations
• Government should increase the education budget. • Free and compulsory education must be ensured
for all children. • Awareness campaigns should be launched, especially in rural areas. • NGOs and
media must play a role in promoting literacy.
