Primary education

Every child has the right to receive primary education. Primary education is typically designed for students aged 6 to 11. It contributes significantly to the reduction of extreme poverty and the promotion of social change.

The global adjusted net attendance rate in 2019 was 87 percent, with nearly four out of every five children graduating from elementary school. In addition, the number of out-of-school children has declined by over 40 percent in the last two decades. However, 58 million children in elementary school are not enrolled. The bulk of them is from underprivileged communities.

Data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) show that many children lack foundational reading and math skills. It means that providing a high-quality education to all children is a major challenge.

The issue of education in Pakistan

There are several problems with the education system in Pakistan. The first is that there are multiple educational systems, and they lack consistency.

Another one is that the curriculum and assessment systems are outdated. The curriculum focuses on memorization, and the assessment system does not assess critical thinking.

However, Pakistan’s main issue is its high dropout rate. Pakistan has the highest dropout rate among developing countries. According to 2017 research, 40% of children aged 5 to 6 years old did not attend school. Poverty and child labor are all key contributors to this issue. One solution to this problem is to help poor families send their children to school instead of working.
