It is ordered in the Constitution of Pakistan to give free and necessary education to all kids between the ages of 5-16 years and improve grown-up education. Still, Pakistan is facing a serious challenge to ensure all children. As of now, Pakistan has the world’s second-most noteworthy number of out-of-school children with an expected 22.8 million kids matured 5-16 not attending school, representing 44 percent of the absolute populace in this age gathering. In the 5-9 age gathering, 5 million kids are not enrolled in schools, with 11.4 million teenagers between the ages of 10-14 not getting formal instruction. In Sindh, 52 percent of the poor kids (58 percent girls) are out of school, and in Balochistan, 78 percent of girls are out of school.

We are living in an era, where education is a need, henceforth, it is among the essential right. Yet shockingly, in Pakistan, it has turned into a privilege. Pakistan lingers behind with the pace of the world in the educational sector like each other sectors. On the off chance that we contrast Pakistan and developed nations, the above all else distinction is having decent education quality.

Developed countries know the significance of education. At the point when Japan was assaulted with a nuclear bomb, she didn’t raise a solid armed force however an educated country and that is the explanation today she can remain steadfast without a strong armed force.

Education produces profitable civilians as

It gives information on our general surroundings and changes it into something better. It builds up a point of view of taking a gander at life. It assists with building suppositions and having perspectives on things throughout everyday life. It makes one fit for deciphering things, in addition to other things. It isn’t just about exercises in reading material. It is about the exercises of life.

Education doesn’t simply profit an individual but the whole country as it is imperative speculation for a human and financial turn of events. It is the key factor of movement. Changes in innovation, work market examples and general worldwide conditions, all require a basic brain that must be formed by education and information. Customs, culture and confidence all ponder the education framework.

The interest of twenty first century is curiosity, innovativeness, and coordination of information at a worldwide level, research, basic and explanatory contemplations that originates from education.

Pakistan has expressed its commitment to promoting education and literacy in the country through education policies at the domestic level and getting involved in international commitments on education. However, The education rate in Pakistan is 60%. It implies that 40% of individuals are uneducated.

Gender discrimination plays a role as well in illiteracy in Pakistan. Girls are less inclined to get an education than boys in our nation. As indicated by UNESCO figures,  primary school enrollment for girls stand at 60 percent as compared to 84 percent for boys. The secondary school enrollment rate stands at a lower rate of 32 percent for females and 46 percent for males. Regular school attendance for female students is estimated at 41 percent while that for male students is 50 percent.

Close by, the quality of education is declining step by step because of a lack of teachers, poorly equipment and old educational plans. Aside from that, ghost schools and ghost teachers are another matter of worry for the education system that is now over the top. Today, Pakistan is the second biggest youth nation and if she figures out how to instruct and aptitude this surging youth populace, it could outfit a colossal youth profit that could assist with powering the nation’s monetary development and modernization.

Education is fundamentally a right yet tragically in Pakistan it is a luxury and poor have no admittance to it. The governmental schools lack each and every facilities when they were supposed to produce more productive kids than the private sector.

Poverty has become a core reason for being uneducated as parents cannot afford to educate their kids rather they engage them in work increasing child labour. No country can develop without making education a necessity. Henceforth, the government needs to provide good quality education to each and every children because it is their right, there must be no child left behind. Besides, an educated man can be a productive man and only a productive citizen can raise his/her nation.
