6. The Millennium Development Goals and Pakistan:
• An Idea of UN to address the issues of poverty, education and health.
• Implemented in Pakistan in 2000.
Two goals have been laid down in education sector
Goal 1: To achieve Universal Primary Education (UPE), children
everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course
of primary schooling
Enrolment rates:
• Punjab – 62%
• Sindh – 52%
• KPK – 54%
• Baluchistan – 45%
Goal 2: The goal 2 of MDGs is Promoting Gender Equality and Women
Empowerment. It is aimed at eliminating gender disparity in primary
and secondary education
Despite spending Rs4.06 trillion since 2012-13, Pakistan has
failed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in health,
education, social welfare and other areas

7. Sustainable Development Growth 2015-2030:
• On 25th September, 2015, all UN member states gathered at
Sustainable Development Summit to adopt the agenda for 2030
• Goal 4 of SDG emphasizes on quality education
Goal 4 Quality education:
• This goal has seven targets and three means for implementation,
covering all levels of education
• The NHDR report 2017 predicts that at the current net enrollment
growth rate of the country of 0.92% it will take another 60 years to
reach the target of zero out-of-school children.
Education for All (EFA) Commitment:
• The EFA goals focus on early childhood care and education to youth
• The primary gross enrolment rate stands at 85.9% while Pakistan
requires increasing it up to 100% to fulfill EFA goals

8.  Allocation of Funds for education
The funds are very low about 1.5 to 2.0 %.It should be 7%
 Poverty
Literacy rate of Pakistan according to economic survey is about 60%

9.  Technical Education
Sufficient attention has not been paid to the technical and vocational education in
Pakistan
 War On Terror
The militants targeted schools and students; several educational institutions were
blown up, teachers and students were killed by them. This also frightened parents to
send their children to these institutions

10.  . Cost of education:
The paradox is that private schools are better but not everywhere and government
schools ensure equitable access but do not provide quality education
 Gender gap
Illiteracy of parents and parental concerns about safety and mobility of their
daughters. Society’s emphasis on girl’s modesty, protection and early marriages
may limit family’s willingness to send them to school

11.  Uniform curriculum
Uniform curriculum can be introduced in
educational institutes of the country. This
will provide equal opportunity to the students
 Proper Implementation
There is a need for implementation of
national education policy and vision 2030
education goals
 Technical education
Technical education should be made a part
of secondary education.
 Access to rural areas Government as
well as non-government sector should
work together to promote education in rural
areas.

12.  Access to rural areas:
Government as well as non-
government sector should work
together to promote education in rural
areas.
 Corruption free system
Corruption in education departments
is one of the factors for the poor
literacy in the country
 Scholarships:
Govt. should provide scholarships for
higher education.
 Career counseling:
There should be career counseling
of the pupils in schools so that they
have an understanding of job market
and they can develop their skills
accordingly.

13. The reforms required in the education system
of Pakistan cannot be done by the
government alone, as a citizen of Pakistan,
we are also responsible to help the govt. in
improving the Education system in Pakistan.
Only then, we will be able to pull out our
beloved country from illiteracy.
Similarly, vocational and technical training
should be paid attention to make skilled
youth as an asset of Pakistan.
